    I love my mesh jackets and pants....but I don't turn off my heated gear until mid to upper 70's. Mesh goes on at 85 degrees or above. At 95 or above, a dampened cooling vest goes under the mesh and I have goose bumps until we hit 100 degrees . At least the Spyder has plenty of space for all my assorted riding clothes needs! I never used my rain boot covers until this summer - use one to cover my cast on the Spyder so that bite-y or sting-y bugs don't fly into the open toe end of it.

    Hey, John, next time you ride in the rain make a video and post it. Big Red 1 and I would just like to be able to see a little rain. It's been so long since we've had rain in west Texas that we've forgotten what it looks like.

    But when it does rain I agree with the others that the Spyder is a nice ride in the rain. In cool weather I wear a Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket that turns the water very well and a Firstgear mesh jacket with a waterproof liner in warmer weather. Either season I wear a pair of Fieldsheer over pants and a pair of Roadman boots that I've had for at least 30 years and are no longer made. I've got some waterproof gloves but I just don't like to wear them so I usually just wear mesh gloves and let my hands get wet unless it's really cold. Right now, a nice ride in the rain would be great!

    The next time I ride, it probably will be the next time it rains! I would be happy to share some ot Oregon's rain with you if I could. Hate to think I;m hogging it.
