Sunshine 229 has made reference to how my old touring jacket makes me somewhat resemble a certain green ogre..... So it's time for new touring gear. I'd like to hear others input on what they've used and what they recommend. Protection and comfort are key. So let's hear it!

Cheers,

High_Side

Two piece and more of a mid-range set-up temperature wise. Rain resistant would be nice but also the ability to ventilate and machine washable if possible. As for the ladies, they'll just have to use their imagination as to what this textile-dude looked like in his racing leathers in the early '90s (all pictures have been destroyed to protect the innocent :wink: )
