TAFKARM Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 ...and we are due to have a light dusting of snow Ignoring the fact Im going to be on RSRs, Im aeroscreened with no heater - what the hell should I wear? I was basically going to wear all my snowboarding gear with a lot of layers. Reckon I'd be ok in snowboard trousers (they are a nylon rip stop type material, so not sure if they look a bit flammable...) Got a load of hand earners too to place about my person! Quote
Graham0127 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 You wont need warm gear....not that warm anyway.. Adrenalin is an amazing thing....push hard enough and you wont feel the cold !!! Hope you have an amazing day. Quote
kirkyboy5 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Once your adrenalin kicks in I found that I got really warm! But with snow maybe different? I wore a balaclava underneath my helmet yesterday and that helped so so much. dan Quote

M444TTB Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Balaclavas under a helmet are good when it's hot and sweaty too. Helps keep the helmet smelling nice! I agree with the above though. By the time you've turned in a lap you'll be on the adrenalin and in the zone. Good excuse to get plenty of laps in! Quote
Andy Banks Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 You will be fine. A good buff round the neck and something for the legs. Quote
TAFKARM Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Cheers guys. Ive got a neck warmer which I use all the time, it's great. Mostly worried about jeans getting wet and being soggy all day! Quote
CL290005 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 If you are going to do more trackdays invest in all in one motorcycle waterproof suit as you will not care about the weather with one of these Quote
SootySport Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 You need wind and waterproof gear, that'll stop your body cooling down. Some thermal fluffy clothes under the top layer will keep you warm all day, cotton jeans are the worst for soaking up the damp. Quote
