Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I use the GIN Winter Suit and winter Gloves. Which seem to work well. I can of course get them for you. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have some summer motorbike gloves which are nice and thin leather but do the job, my suit came from http://www.blueskyblue.co.uk/ and at the time they had a clearance offer of three suits (Summer, Autumn & winter) for approx £35 the lot, I wish I had bought their entire stock as they are fantastic and that price was just unbelieveable, keep your eyes on their site for more offers.....

oilyrag Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi I've got the maplin heated waistcoat(battery powered),supair flying suit and klan heated gloves (motorbike powered by paramotor). In the last few weeks that i have had them it is money well spent!!!! (ok the wife's money!!) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyrag Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 And a flystyle helmet. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbg Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The Maplin heated waistcoat comes in medium size only. I bought one just to see what the quality was like......... It will be following Simon's gloves when I can be bothered to throw it that far. I am sure its fine, for an entry level heated jacket, if you haven't eaten too many pies like me!

gazza_c Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I use the ozee(exeat i think!) thermal suit which I bought from the show and is well toasty,the helmet is a speedair(copy of the nac model i think) from ebay.I think a few of us had some issues with it working etc but managed to sort mine out by getting the ear defenders re-wired!! Gloves are a fishing type neoprene again very well and manageable. have fun gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
