Lookin to get some new gear this year.
My Helmet is good, and my riding pants are good... but I desperately need a new pair of gloves, and boots especially. My jacket needs to be retired as well.
I just wanted to see what you guys think....
I noticed that last year I'd sweat so damn much in my jacket, that if we stopped for lunch, or to bull**** I'd get chilled really fast.
I tend to sweat like I'm sitting in a sauna while I'm riding. I'd take my boots off at the end of a ride and my socks would be SOAKED like I jumped in a lake.
So, I'm asking what's a good mix between heavy enough gear to keep me warm up here in Idaho for winter, yet breathable enough that my sweating *** won't get messed up and sick everytime I go to slow down for an afternoon stop, or at the warming hut. lol.
I was hoping for some good feeback to see what's working pretty well for everyone....
I'm about 5' 10", and weigh in just a bit over 200lbs. Just trying to find good fit, comfortable, and maybe some style in there too.
Oh, and outta curiosity.. what's the big difference between sledding boots and snowboarding boots? My pair of Burton snowboard boots is what I used to sled in last year.... what justifies the price difference of over $150 MORE over a pair of snowboard boots for something like a set of HMK's ?
Thanks in advance.
