I wanna pair of green jungles!!!!!! Yeah...sometimes i get freer... just jeans, denim shirt and leather vest. I always have worn a helmet, gloves, and harley boots. I do like my skin on my body and all my toes on my feet. I have seen some bad injuries up close.... We are vulnerable for sure... It is an individual choice always, what we decide to wear, but I do feel concern when I see bare skin on a bike and always pray for their safety.Inga, if you are talking about the jungle boots... I have been wearing them ever scince Uncle Sam gave me my first pair way back in 1967. Being retired AF I could buy them at the BX but they are no longer military issue and therefor not carried by the BX. I have had good luck at good Army - Navy stores. The green mesh type is a bit harder to find now but there are plenty of black mesh ones. By far the BEST summer riding boots I have found! ______________________

Thank you. I will keep an eye out, especially since these boots have received such rave reviews.  It may be luck to find them...then luckier to find 'em in a woman's size 6. |

Olenorthpole wrote over 2 years ago Pretty much everything I wear is weather dependent. Good boots; gloves - kevlar mesh in hot weather and insulated gloves in cold. Jeans and chaps up to about 80 F, armored jeans in the heat. Leather jacket; again up to 80 or so F, armored Kevlar mesh Jacket in the heat. The Kevlar jacket has a rain liner. Sometimes just wear a 'wife beater' undershirt under the jacket. Helmet (by choice) - half helmet most of the time, full face when it's cold (under 40 degrees F). Been known to ride around our little town with just a long sleeved shirt - but on the highway I want some protection from rocks, debris etc. |
