Saguenay Bill Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yesterday, when Farmerold and I started out riding it was -33F and it got up to -25F at 12 noon. I was wearing my Choko Extreme Jacket,Tec Vest. Choko soft shell liner, long underwear and my Choko Extreme Cordura pants, fleece pants and long underwear. I can honestly say that I very comfortable riding in those temps with this gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDI-HAM Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Bill- See you wear a tek vest. I've been riding with one since 2002. I'm surprised the whole extra protection hasn't caught on more than it has. I still get asked all the time "What's that? How much?" Ohh too expensive..!! I busted a few ribs grass dragging years back and decided it was time to pick one up-Worn one ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F7CUL8R Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cold temps like that definitley test how good your equipment is!!! I have been wearing a Tek-Vest for a few seasons after a couple of close calls with some "southern tier cowboys" on my side of the trail. Plus it helps with the warm factor!!

mustang00 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 My suit is made by Angora and I love it never cold -20and under i will wear long johns under my sweat pants but normaly i don't. Sometimes i wear a polar fleece sweater that has a full zipper opening because i usually take it off a couple of miles down the trail. Hubby wears Choko and he has no complaints.
