We can fix that.
Loev,

PS. The Firstgear H/T overpants are not very warm at all. Maybe better
than ordinary Curdura but still not too warm.

They work well IF you pile on enough stuff underneath them. Then again,
*anything* will work well with enough layers underneath.
These things plus jeans aren't warm enough on colder days even here in
SoCal. Gotta get some thermal something-or-other as a base layer.
Off-roading is a different story. They work fine for that.

Might want to go have the circulation in your legs checked. I wear
my FG Kilimanjaro pants over a pair of dress slacks for my winter
commutes to work. No problems. That would be a 35 mile commute at
temperatures well less than 32degrees F mind you (usually in the
upper teens). Can't help you if you have delicate legs.

I just went to WebMD and checked on the symptoms of poor circulation in the
legs. I don't have any of them. I think it's safe to conclude that I'm
just a p*ssy and I hate cold.

You guys wear pants? I leave my Darien pants in my luggage. I only wear them
when I get to work to seal in the wet and cold.
Toughen up guys.

I just got my Teknic Mach One (3/4 length) jacket and all I can say
is "WOW"!
This thing is a beautiful example of what a motorcycle jacket should
be...
Spine padding, shoulder, forearm and elbow armor. >>snip
The Mach One looks sharp!
Just picked up a Teknic Interstate (more of a sport cut, bought it for street
rides..went with the yellow/black) and like it alot so far.
Seems really well built, and the armor's solid. I'm ordering the optional CE
armor, then will put the stock armor in wife Lori's Cortech Sport. As the
stock Teknic armor seems to be a significant upgrade over the Cortech's.
Curious...how many intake/exhaust vents does the Mach One have?
The Interstate has one large intake on each arm, and one large exhaust in the
back.
side note: Has anybody bought the optional flag guards for the Acerbis Rally
Brush guards? Think they're worth 20+ bucks?
