    There are forums upon the interwebs which do not grant their members the right to call each other cunts.

    This, however, has never been one of them. (Seriously, do you think that Baby Jesus is going to cry if you actually spell the word out with your keyboard, or something?)

    Rejoice in your freedom to speak here as you see fit, GrayWolf. Being called a cunt occasionally is a small price to pay for it. In any case, I was using the word in its more general, comprehensive and affectionate sense. You don't need to take it as an insult.

    And, yes, riding without 15 kilograms of gear wrapped around you is very pleasant. Just head out in jeans, T-shirt, gloves and helmet some time. It's liberating.

    You only get too hot in leather & cordura gear when you're stationary or going veeerrrryyyy slow. The answer: stop hanging around Cafe's drinking Latte's all day & driving past shop front windows checking out your relection. Leather is very comfortable at 104km/hr, even in summer heat.

    You do what you can, but often it doesn't work. Comfort is vastly more important than protection. If you aren't comfortable, you aren't performing at your best.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It's not a matter of being too hot. It's the freedom of movement and the feeling of the wind whipping through you that bundling up in gear takes away. You can only do it over two or three months in summer because you'll generally freeze if you try it the rest of the year.

    Personally, I like to take advantage of the opportunity.

    And fuck being in leather pants and whatnot when you're stopped and off the bike. A leather jacket's OK. Pants, not so much. Even Draggin jeans get pretty hot.

    I'm also against clomping around in race boots every time I go somewhere on a motorbike. Nice soft well-worn work boots ftw.

    Hot sunny day, work boots, nice light jeans, T-shirt, well-binned leather jacket and the disapproving stares of all the Cordura-covered Teletubbies squeaking awkwardly around gas station forecourts: priceless.

    Edit: I should note that one-pieces, when cut well for the wearer, are pretty comfortable. But they do pretty much say "look at meeeeee, I plan on riding this day in a manner that may well lead to a bin".

    Better than clomping around in race boots, I spent a full day walking around Welly in them and comfort level was good

    I've got a pair of these which are comfy and waterproof.

    Having been a loyal and devoted fan of Draggins for some years, I'm now a convert to Rhinos. New Zealand designed, optional armour, and nifty features, like the zipped leg ends to stop cuff flutter and riding up in a slide. They're also quite a bit cheaper than Draggins.

    Have you found much difference in the build quality between the Draggins and Rhinos? Do the Draggins have thicker kevlar, or move Kevlar coverage? And do you know if the optional armour is cheap and easily available? Is the optional armour just for the knees or the ass and thighs as well?

    Since Santa stuffed them into my stocking, the Rhinos have only had a few rides. The build quality appears good. Rhino also claim flame protection. There's more kevlar in the Rhinos than in Draggins. Kevlar offers abrasion protection, so the thickness of it is largely irrelevant. The armour comes with the Rhinos -- knee and hip protection, for what it's worth. "Optional" means whether one decides to fit it to the trousers or not. The last place anybody would want armour is on one's arse or thighs. Anybody who thinks that they need that much should buy a car.
