Some essential winter gear..
Thinking I might share some info and experiences of some of the winter gear we are using to try to make riding in the BC winter weather somewhat more comfortable and manageable. Yes these are going to be mostly about products from our team sponsors but I will try to give a good unbiased opinion about some of the products, our sponsors always want feedback good or negative to better their products. First product I have just started using is the Pearl Izumi Octane jacket. All I can say is get one, the price may seem a bit steep (around 200 bucks) for what seems like a thin shell jacket but believe me if there is one thing you will feel good about spending a bit of money on is being warm and dry on those miserable days. Its got all the works, waterproof, windproof, taped seams and zipper and best off all its fully breathable, so no more sauna like effect under your outer shell like those stiff plastic clear rain capes we all know. I’ll let you know more as the weather get more attrosious.
