Hey guys, just interested in what sort of wetsuits you guys use for all this winter riding I've been seeing. I haven't been out in the last month or two as my summer riding apparel was just board shorts and a rash shirt but that just won't cut it now! Do you just run a generic 2-3mm steamer suit? Or maybe something a bit more specialised? Cheers Jordan
The posers will wear Jetpilot and freeze there asses off in winter while looking good. Get a good steamer or try Bodyline here at the Mount. You can also get hot skin rash shirts for under your suit or tour coats for over. As I'm old and fragile I run them all and may not look as good as some but by god I'm so warm I don't need to piss in my suit to warm me up lol.
I got myself a 3-4mm proper winter wetsuit It barely lets water in and I roast my ass off. Stick with a 2-3mm and you'll be sweet.
I tend to have a bunch of layers I can put on depending on the season ....2/3mm short sleeve - long leg wesuit, 2mm long sleeve top, or a 4mm long sleeve top, tour coat for over top etc
