looks like a fantastic idea for many of us down here 88

temps just lately in the low thirtys ..in direct sun ...a bit hotter

many of us have vented type coats already .

would be great for my leather jacket though

Very simple and clever idea.

Also helps to give the rider the most sought after michelin-man look

OK, I'm undecided.
Give them a score of: 1 (I wouldn't be seen dead wearing them) to 10 (I'm gettin' three pairs coz I think they are fantastic!).

5 out of 10 for me.

Good Idea but I wouldn't be seen dead wearing them. There would have to be a quick "pull em off and hide in the pocket"...

The drawback would be putting them on without being seen after a fag/coffee stop

Cool

Seems a good idea 88, but in Scotland they would spend at least 10 out of 12 month's in their box and when you did use them your arms would be full of midges Very Happy.
