Monie and I went to the boat show on the week end and could'nt belive we came out with the answer to her problem of riding in the winter
She has tried all sorts of layers but still gets cold when she rides to work at night in the winter
Came across a guy selling Dry suit thermals (for scuba diving) and decided to buy one after he offered us a money back garauntee if it didnt work, we had nothing to loose
Blardy awesome is the best way to describe it. No more putting on 6 layers, just a light short sleeved thermal then the Fourth Element thermal and dryrider top
If you are riding through the night and suffer from the cold we can highly recomend these as an option
A little pricey but you get what you pay for

Why did you quote it? Why not just reply, with no quote? :spudwhat:

I'm a red rep whore if you must know. But seriously they seem a bit expensive

Yep but worth every cent, especialy when you consider if the wife took the van to work every night it would cost me about $100 a week in diesel, plus diesel Ks but the same mileage on her bike is about $26 to $30, doesnt take long to gain the cost of the thermals

Im lookin at it for doin the Monkey. Its all part of the challenge. Wearing bread bags to keep your feet dry is more my style than, wearing the ultimate in sophistication. No offence intended. But if it was easy , why would I leave Auckland. I'm tryin to avoid the easy way. I prefer filter coffee to that, other one where they have to fiddle with it for ages before you get it.

So have you had sex standing up in a hammock?
I don't mean to pry of course:whistle:
All that time and I just wore a wetsuit under my drysuit.:stupid:

I had seen them in my local dive shop and had thought of the merits in using them, glad to hear they work,might shout meself some, then i can use it under my drysuit as well, 2 birds with one as they say!
My old man has one of these tops for diving and I agree that they are awesome. Has lasted very well too.

Yes they are expensive but they work well - I used to wear them under my drysuit whilst diving in bloody freezing quarries (stoney cove, Dorothea and Tidenham) back in the UK. They were the best I ever used. Wasn't aware you could get em out here.
