For Warmth & Safety 05Jan13

The gifting of Christmas brought warmth and safety. A cool Yeti softshell hoodie to match the Superbike is supposed to ride but I'm inclined to keep it casual... great fit and superwarm. Simm's Gore windshell golves with foldover finger and thumb covers were awesome on first outing; warm and versatile and much less of a hook snag than my current Patagonia fleece palm gloves. SixSixOne D30 (that goo that hardens on impact) Kevlar-covered knee pads... maybe needed as age weakens knee and lack of skills increase biffs. Light, fit nice... we'll see on longer rides. Sawyer ultra-lite filter straw for good water in the backcountry; always stay hydrated. Chaos CTR Glacier Bando face klava for the chilly slopes - yeah, its lime green.
