I’ve read about the air bag system and it does seem to provide yet another layer of real protection. I suppose in my head there’s a line between protection and just driving a car. I’ve not seriously considered the turtle but after reading your comment I’ll take another look. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate them.

Lots of choices in those suits.

Thanks for the heads up on the Joe Rocket suit. I looked at the video on Revzilla and that suit is much like the expensive Olympia one-piece suit I had. That suit was so difficult to get into that I gave it away. It certainly was warm though.

The Roadcrafter seems like it would be much easier to get into. Price remains a hurdle. I’ll have to do an honest appraisal of the gear I have and really determine if a switch makes sense in terms of ease of use and safety.

Another trip to the LL Bean website!

Hmmmm, a lot to think about. I would rather not rely on electrics. But I probably won’t ride much anymore below 25F so layers will probably suffice.

Oh yeah, flannel lined jeans are great….

There is no insulation in the Light version that I have. Just layer up as needed but with the lack of air infiltration, I found that a fleece liner would be fine to about 45°F and the heated liner good to well below 0°F. Below that, I generally used both.
