Re: Summer waterproofs

I did try the badlands (last years ) and it is a great jacket but with the vents on the upper area looking small it put me off. I have a winter jacket and a summer mesh, so i suspect the best solution is an over jacket waterproof. I was just trying to keep the gear light

Summer waterproofs

Help, Looking for some first hand experience. I tend to run hot at the best of times but when i tour i need a jacket with big vents ideally on the shoulder and upper arm. I also need waterproof and don't want to have to insert a drop in liner or an overshot. so that leaves a goretex laminate jacket....

Re: Shoei neotec mod

Well 1.8% of impacts are in the eps area so i suspect that 2mm extra is only going to help.  or perhaps if safety is so important Have you considered chess and sell the bike

Re: Shoei neotec mod

In my opinion that has to be the most stupid comment ever.  2mm of med density foam will only enhance, even if it does that...Thanks for your input

Shoei neotec mod

Just thought i would share a little modification to my shoei neotec. I hot conditions the vents don't allow enough cool air into the helmet as my bonce compresses the lining as it should. I have simply stuck some medium density draft type excluder to the helmet to allow the inner lining and the hard...

Re: Shoei Neotec

Spot on, Air can't get in if it can't go anywhere, so if you head is blocking the flow through then you don't get any cool air. Just lifting the lining off the hard inner poly shell makes huge difference.

Shoei Neotec

Just a little tip for those like me who find that during the summer months you get a very hot bonce even with vents open. The inner lining settles on your head and therein effectively shut off the cool air around the head. If you place single sided foam 6mm deep strips between your lining and the ha...
