I’m new to the adventure bike scene, having spent most of my time on the track or weekend rides. But I’d like to get into longer asphalt and dirt adventure riding, and as such, am in need of the appropriate riding gear. Top priority is comfort/breathability because I expect the majority of my riding to be in hot summer weather. I’d also like something suitable for Bay Area winters. The third consideration would be something waterproof, although I understand that can add significant cost. Although I realize nobody plans to get caught in a rain storm, I dont plan to do any touring during times of inclement weather.
Anybody have suggestions? I stopped by the Dainese store in SF today and saw some of what they have, but I was hoping to hear firsthand what people like or dislike and what features they would consider important or not so important.
