Flying jacket
Once I pass my SVA, I plan to drive irrespective of the weather unless it is raining, so for UK limits me to about 5 days per year
So I'm thinking of getting a nice woolly flying jacket,
such as this
Has anyone bought one of these or recommend another brand? Ideally low price but want a 100% leather one so leather outside and proper sheepskin
inside - not wool on cloth.

You'd be better off with a good biker's jacket - at least you can zip it up to the neck.

I have an all in one bike dry suit. ( a watrerproof outer shell )
means that I can ad subtract lairs of warmth underneath . It also packs up into a small bag to go behind the drivers seat so can be carried just in
case you get caught out ( sorry when you get caught out ) !!!!

That's similar to what I've got - mine's a 2-piece suit. I wear the top to keep the wind out, and keep the over-trousers in the boot
for rainy days.

That'll look lovely with that hat you've been secretly spying on at Lidl
Of course I haven't been at all tempted

Flying Jackets, Trailing Scarves and aviation type goggles are all well and good but you need to have the 4 1/2 litre Bentley to go with them.

I've often been tempted by one of those, but I think I may look a bit of a prat getting out at the garage. As said, you need a morgan or
something "older" looking.
