    Stuff

    Santawool arrived early. A new jacket that (Impulse II) will be better insulated and zips to the leather Tourmaster pants (Apex) I have. This should give me a nice cool weather (by crazy yankee standards) setup. The glo ves are because you always need gloves Besides my last pair of Tourmaster's I liked and worked well in the SOC moment at Barber that retired them . Also my Joe Rocket set has been sweated in and rained on a bunch for 2 seasons so I would think that might degrade the effectivity should I ever need them (yes some of us wear gear to protect our rare hide not for looks). But sadly on the looks front no blue available in sheep size I waited a while since I wanted it for fall riding but I think they might swap to a III and I did not want to wait.

    Other than availability sometimes is spotty I have always had good luck with Tourmaster gear and now someone's sibling is a dealer

    Are those the adrenaline gloves? Thinking about buying a pair after reading last months Sportrider article on "gloves".

    Yep one pair. The other pair is Scarab RR (not winter) which is a bit more protective. I will be breaking them in on the road over the next month before heading to Barber where I hope to retire the JR and use one of these.

    You happy with them? They had the same rating as the 230 dollar gloves.. actually they had as high of rating in comfort, fit, and quality as any other glove. I was just looking at a pair on ebay new.

    Just got a box of with every thing in it last night. So far they seem nice but I have yet to ride in them. Originally I was going to get the jacket and use that for the Blue on Blue tour but it was fairly warm and I did not get it in time. My last pair was nice but a model they no longer make. The only thing I noticed on them was that the wrist cinch was great for retaining the glove but leave it a bit loose or it cuts of circulation (the wrist cinch on my JRs are worthless unless you have twigs for wrists)

    EDIT: looked but no pictures on Fireblades... everything but the gloves. I still have them but the reason I don't use them is subtle and likely would not show in a picture.
