Using snowmobile gear for winter motorcycle riding is new to me. Thanks for this! As well as for the socks tip and the rest too.
Also top tip. Snowmobile gear is often cheaper than moto gear I guess at least partly because markets are smaller 🙂
@@PatchedBanditindeed, as well as there is no that much hype around it, at least in my part of the world.
How you tackle winter riding, you've got some good points covered. Makes a lot of sense to me. Thank goodness we have warmer winters in Bavaria. Have a great weekend, Günter/Nürnberg
I would love me some warmer winters 😂😁
Dressing for cold on a dual sport ride is very different than dressing for an ADV or road ride. You can dress with heated gear and not be reliant on it if it fails. Merino wool base layer, heated liner, goose down jacket (warm enough on its own and compresses nicely under gear) riding jacket. With this setup you can adjust your temperature to be comfortable and not just survive the ride. And on the chance the jacket fails or you need to walk to help you wont freeze.
Still my mindset is that heated gear is a luxury product not a necessity. Just like radio on a goldwing 😄
good piece of advise, thanks, especially under gloves.
They make a surprisingly big difference 🤙
just found the channel & was hoping for this exact video, ty
I knew it! 😂
I get cold really easily, especially my hands. It doesn't matter how many layers I [put on I just can't generate enough heat, but heated vest and gloves has transformed my winter riding. I agree about not relying on them, so I always layer up anyway, switch on the heated gear and never have to stop ;)
Very true.
Finland. Different cold mate. Try the UK. That's shorts and t-shirt weather in the UK.
You are joking right? 😂 Weather there is bad but your winter is like our Midsummers day 😅 (so less snow than usual)
I live in Rome and appart from the gloves, I wear the same kind of gear during winter. It's 16 degrees here 😅
But hey. I’m highly jelaous of you right now 😅😅 I was riding in the northern italy last year. Beautiful place 😳.. and Im DONE with the Finnish winter 🤧
Very nice thank you! A lower cold back bought me here. And iam just en denmark 13 degress C now... Iam looking for something which can be sipped together and have space for big POD knee braces
Some kidney belts can help with the cold and also most good riding jacket+pant combos can be zipped together while riding. This helps a lot with the cold not going to lower back.
I would suggest checking out snowmobile gear for cold weather riding as it tends to be better and cheaper than moto gear for colder climates.
I tend to also have back issues if I get my thighs too cold while riding so protecting legs is equally important.
lol, you’re from Finland! You guys understand and tolerate "cold" very differently from the rest of us, mere humans 😂
😅 Nah we just hibernate 6 months every year 😂
Great video. How about riding at 70mph for an hour? Doesn't the wind chill make it too cold?
I rarely go that fast on these forest roads for longer periods of time. Taking breaks in this weather is something I do a lot because eventually the cold will go through 😊
If I would have to ride a longer stretch in this weather I would put rainpants on top of these. It helps drastically and I use the same trick in the summer sometimes.
You’re mad, that’s the clothing I wear for a beach holiday, never mind -16c
I takes a bit of time to get used to the cold 😅 Flying in from warm climate and doing this gear the next day is probably not the same experience as living here 😅 But you would get used to it the same as me after a while 🙂
Awesome thanks
I see what you did there mate, and I like it. But you are missing the point about heated gear. It is all about comfort and you don't wear it like your life depending on it, you wear it because you can save some layers and be more free and loose on the bike. Keep in mind, for most motorcycle riding, (not on gnarly trails) you are stationary. You get extra comfort from the heated jacket. if your bike breaks down, you start walking and keep warm. I'm all over the fact that in some cases you don't need it. But to state that it is dangerous... well, you are wrong 😇🔥 Love to see how you layer up, but keep in mind that you have mintu in your veins. 🤣
Very true that heated gear can be used for many many reasons and different situations. Was this video a bit cheeky? .. yes absolutely 😄
My main point if there even was any is that the expensive gear even if nice and comfortable is definitely not mandatory even in these conditions 😎
dang whats that headlight? looks sick
Check my previous 3 vids 😊
What is that from light setup on your bike
Check the previous 3 videos on my channel before this one. I have a full 3 part series on that setup.
Yes, but you are Finn, born from ice and northern lights, of course you are not cold. 😁
Unfortunately so 😂 I would love to move out...
Move to S.Spain…lot cheaper and YOU CAN LEAVE THE STUDDED TYRES IN Finland😂
That's the dream :) Maybe some day 😅 I need a job there 😅
Why don't you take off the helmet so we can hear you better.?
So you dont have to look at my face. 😂 I live and learn.. I added subtitles now so maybe that helps 🫡
I can understand him fine.
You live in Finland so your body is acclimate to that climate... While relying on heated gear to protect your life comes with risk some people will need it to ride where you are IMO
Heated gear also trick the user to a false sensation that they have enough clothes on.. that one time that gear fails in the wrong spot it's a tough reality out there 😅
But yeah heated or not I'm just trying to convey that nobody NEEDS the heated fancy gear to enjoy winter rides. It's nice but not necessary.
