Flying jacket
02GF74 - 11/10/06 at 10:57 AM

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.

got one of those already; still would like a fluffy one and wear a scarf.

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

you need some of them oldschool flying sunglasses too, youd look like youve stepped straight out of the 1920's

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.

What about the wet celery and the egg-whisk?


02GF74 - 11/10/06 at 03:35 PM

you can buy matching woolly helmets too.

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.
