I would like to introduce you to some of the warm equipment that was submitted to the Webike community's "MOTO HACK! Warm Equipment Contest" campaign!
Introducing the warm equipment of Rock, who is riding HONDA CBR250RR (MC51).
Vehicles and self-introduction
[Brief self-introduction]
I ride a HONDA CBR250RR (MC51) 2019 model. One day, I saw a motoblog on a video site and thought, 'Oh yeah, let's ride a motorcycle,' so I got a medium-sized license. I like solo touring with freedom of action, and my motto is to take a leisurely ride to a destination in a landscape I've never seen or a road I've never driven on before.
It has been 3 years since I received the motorcycle and the mileage is over 25,000km, but the motorcycle is enjoying touring without any trouble, no accident and no violation. Finding a day trip hot spring to stop by at your touring destination is one of the most fun things to do.
Attention to warm equipment
[Directionality]
I'm not going to ride long distances, so I thought it might be a bit over the top to wear electric heating equipment for short distances, and I'll introduce some easy warm equipment that can be used for city riding.
[The point where you feel warm]
This time we prepared jogger pants with windproof material and down in the front. It's not motorcycle gear, but it has down in the front to protect your thighs and knees, which tend to get chilled by the riding wind. With a raised lining, you can wear these pants under windproof denim for extra warmth. You can also wear them under normal clothes such as denim because they are slim.
Note: Jogger pants = pants for jogging
Products
1. Brand unknown
Item Name: Stretch Down Pants
The construction is very slim and warm, although the image of down pants seems to be overstuffed. The back is made of stretch material without down and is stretchable so you won't feel cramped in the riding position. The buttocks are not as slippery as polyester material, so they work well with outer pants and don't slide off your butt when riding.
2. RS Taichi
Item Name: Windproof Stretch Denim *The link is to the product on Webike, which is collaborating with HONDA.
I wear them under my RS Taichi windproof denim (RSY551) for normal city riding. The RSY551 is also a slim denim with knee pads, but it doesn't feel tight.
I use leg warmers to keep the wind from coming in through the hem of my pants. There's a big difference between having this and not having it. It prevents cold wind from coming in through your ankles and reduces the hem of your pants from coming up because it makes your ankles thicker.
Warm equipment that we are aiming for in the future
Electrothermal neck warmer
*Recommendation: [Made in Yamashiro] Body Regulator Electrothermal Windproof Neck Warmer
