There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
BRP leather suit waterproof-ness?
- Thread starter A-Spot

From my experience, leather is water REPELLENT for a short time, even when treated with leather creams. I find that putting a set of Frog Toggs on before heading into questionable weather, makes for more enjoyable riding, rather than trying to dry out after getting soaked. Just my opinion.

To my knowledge... No leather is truly water proof. Even thought they claim them to be... As soon as we wear one, the "Treatment" they use to make the leather waterproof beyond it's natural abilities begins to break down...
However, the thicker "Biker" leather does take a fair amount before it reaches you, but will need to dry before giving you the same protection again...
We have to "Maintain" our leathers in order to stay dry in normal off and on showers.
Personally I have not yet gotten wet with my Spyder Jacket, but we have only been in a few showers... Not a few hour downpour on the roads...
That said... I have gotten wet in my waterproof TourMasters when I got caught in a gnarly downpour. The rain came down so hard and fast... @ 55 mph on the hwy it was hitting the dash, and a puddle collected between my legs and the tank :yikes:. I only knew of the puddle because of the funny feeling I was getting, and we had only been on the road for about ten minutes...
Looked down and went.. WTH... :roflblack: Leaped up... Got plowed by the rain the windshield had been saving me from.. Went straight down my neck and arms... :roflblack::roflblack:
This was about 6:00am one Sunday Morning. We had to drive in this weather... This was the last day of our training course, and they do not allow us to be one minute late or we are asked to leave with no refund (So they say). Otherwise we would have stayed nice and dry that particular morning :thumbup:
