A good video, I recommend scuba diving drysuit base layers, v warm (SEASKINS,NORTHERN DIVER, FOURTH ELEMENT etc), and dry suit gloves liners (KUBI) , also agree with the comment re ex military kit, its made for extremes, the thermal base layers are good as are the Goretex mitts, overlayers with added high viz of course

Just come across your channel a few days ago, love them. Im in north wales about 7 miles from snowdon. I dont have heated clothing but definitely got the layers. The uk is an interesting place to ride weather wise, remember being on my 125cc suzuki one morning beautifull day but around betws y coed it started pouring down and didnt stop until i got home then it was sunny again. Also a bright yellow coat for the winter months definitely saved me from a few cars pulling out on me. Might come across you 1 day seing as your not too far and your bike is easy to spot 🤣

@@SaffySprocket awesome, I didn't want to venture out after I think mid October as it was bit to nippy for me really. I've been looking but not really known what to get really. I think I'd get the base layers see how I go over the next year and if I'm still a bit cold I'll maybe invest. My legs are not an issue or feet, I'm just leathers and boxers, my hands slightly. But I do need winter gloves obviously. It's my chest and neck, I've struggled with neck warmers in the past as they slip and slide all over or if I get full face one my helmet becomes to tight. I had a look last night and I'm going to invest into the rst heated jacket if it comes to it so at least it zips to my leather trousers. Your gear does look comfortable, it's just all them wires everywhere 😂 I even use a 15cm wire from my phone to usb as it's braided and no slack.... I like minimal mess 👍

I use rainx if your traveling over 30mph just turn your head to either side and the droplets are gone, under 30mph you can wipe but it won't smear

Running all that heated gear grips, and phone/satnav is your issue with the battery your bike can't put out enough power. On your Welsh trip I can see your grip controller flashing as it does to turn off that's because it sees your battery voltage low even though your bike is running. You're taking out more than you're putting in. I own VFR's trust me I know electrical issues!!!!

I am always genuinely amazed by how women feel the cold so much. I even Googled it once to try and find the reason why. I could not find any scientific reason why women feel the cold more than men. I have a theory of my own. Here goes. Women have children. Bird on the nest kinda thing. Women have more sensitivity to cold so they are always thinking of baby being cold. So keep wrapping baby. This doesn't work so well in 21st century modern heated homes. I think babies get wrapped up too much. This also carries on when they get a little older. Children don't feel the cold. As a child I constantly wore a T shirt. I have a perma T shirt sun tan even though these days I wrap up more. If I wore heated gear I would feel I was being cooked. Men operate at higher temperatures. We start to malfunction if we get too hot. Sorry for rant. Stay safe oh and warm 😂

Women have a lower muscle density so feel the cold more. when I was a professional bodybuilder, I was always overheating

@@SaffySprocket That would make sense if skinny blokes with virtually no muscles felt the cold. But they don't. I worked with Air con engineer and he use to fit and service air con units in offices. He said he could never get a temperature that the men and women could agree on so they segregated themselves and had two temperatures. A lot of women I have met feel air con is the work of the devil, they can't understand why you would want to make a room colder. I definitely think it has something to do with the reproduction system in women.
