It’s Christmas in May! My new gear arrived last week and I couldn’t wait to get home to try it on. I’m preparing for my Arctic Circle ride (more on that later) and needed new gear. I’ve been riding in a Firstgear suit in the winter months but it’s gotten big on me (yay) and I really wanted the flexibility of a pants/jacket combo.

Once again I looked to Firstgear for my choice. I opted for the Kilimanjaro jacket and Kathmandu overpants. Both have D30 armor and fit me comfortably because of the adjustable straps and belts. Waterproof and warm, these will be great in Alaska and can be worn with my heated Firstgear jacket liner. The jacket is high visable yellow for added safety.

The combo set me back $700 but money spent on good gear is worth it. I’ll sell my suit eventually.

I’m starting to make lists of things my favorite motorcycle  man and I will take on our epic adventure. In the meantime, we’re riding this weekend so stay tuned and stay safe!
