Why can't a person walking on a highway see the further parts of the highway on a hot summer day?
all my gear i've gotten from my local cycle gear gloves (mesh for summer, waterproof for winter), pants (w removable air panels), mesh jacket, vented boots (with waterproof covers), thermal base layer, helmet (modular w internal visor), and a cooling base layer for extra hot days- all black synthetics with CE rated padding (which you WANT!!) for under $600. one complete layer alone was less than $500- helmet (100), jacket (80), pants (100), gloves (40), and boots (120) all my gear (except thor boots) is of cycle gear's in house brands- bilt (5 yr NQA warranty) or sedici (lifetime NQA warranty) i've been very pleased so far with the design and quality of cycle gear's protective apparel- i've only replaced the waterproof gloves after a few years because they were leaking. they grabbed a new pair off the shelf and i was on my way with no hassle they also have leather gear and full suits, i just wasn't interested in the extra expense/ lack of flexibility if this is more than you're looking to spend, check craigslist out- just don't buy gear that has been crashed and NEVER BUY A USED HELMET!! ATGATT (all the gear all the time) i'm glad to see you value your skin!
Hit them with a fire hose and tell them their hearts may go on but their singing would be met with extreme prejudice!
