I'm all Soggy

[Icey]

I just have done my first ride in the rain, and I'm now extremely soggy and look like a drowned rat.

I think I need some waterproofs ::) :-[

I got a new helmet yesterday, matches my jacket ;D

[Mac]

What helmet did u get?
Waterproofs are a good idea...get down millets..lol

[Carsick]

Not my first time in the rain, by a long way, but I'm pretty soggy myself.
I thought I could make it in before it started, but once again, the weather in Swindon was misleading.

I got up this morning and it was just drizzling, by the time I was ready to get out the door it was pissing it down :( GRRR!

I have another Vemar helmet, which I've found it so much better than my other Vemar!

I just need trousers really, my top half was not too bad.

How would u rate the vemar then? Its a newish helmet on the market isnt it?

[Icey]

I'm guess it must be a new one, but I can't use the website as it's not working at the moment.

My old Vemar was good, was a flipfronted one, Comfy but too heavy.

New one - hardly any ventilation - but still keeps my head cool - light and extremely comfy.

[Icey]

Sharon, if you were going, I would chose to ride on sheer ice just to get there. ;)

[Carsick]

who can say they've ridden in a thunderstorm snow or hail
I can too.
Hail is just painful but usually passes quickly. Thunderstorms are great until it really lashes down, then you just get drenched within 2 seconds.
Snow is just crazy and not something I do by choice.
