  1. £10 denim backpack/side bag that can be tied in a number of ways: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Camping-Rucksack-Backpack-Hiking-Outdoor-Military-Trekking-Travel-Large-Bag-/131913836188 Mine has worked well so far.
  2. 2 balaclavas are cheaper than a new helmet. Bonus: adding balaclavas to the wash is easier than to clean the inside of helmets. Now you can see that Tom Cruise riding without helmet in Top gun made for good photos in girly magazines but probably would not be good for his long term health
  3. Hi Gory pics are unnecessary, but if you could take the time to explain how to boots made things worse (if I'm understanding correctly), that might help others!

  5. hi Recently I got a textile suit from eBay, branded KYB Wear. They have their own website that looks abandoned. It's a 2 piece suit with hip, knee, elbow and shoulder padding. Thermal lining that can be removed... the whole thing was just under £100. Pockets are a bit weak but the suit is comfy. Later I added a better back protection that fits tight in the jacket. My dilemma is what to wear under the suit. I tried wearing only the trousers without lining and some shorts... the inside of my legs was cold very quickly (riding in the Spring, about 10 degrees C). Tried the same but wearing jeans and I was all sweaty. I haven't tried the thermal lining for the legs but deeply regretted taking it off the jacket when I went for an evening ride. Went to the cinema with no jeans under that suit and it was a bit too warm. Like they say on Facebook: It's complicated! Got J&S boots from their factory shop but the stitching was damaged in less than 300 miles. I doubt they are waterproof now but usable with a bit of duck tape... They offered a discount when I bought another pair but this time I picked another brand. RKS, I think. My Givi flip up helmet was the only thing I *really* liked from my recent shopping. Very comfortable even riding with glasses on. Can't remember the model name but would go back to Givi for helmets if I needed to, even knowing it's not their main product line.
