I’ve put just over 400km on the bike so far. Every ride I have jacket/helmet/gloves/boots/pants. Well, I sort of have on pants. If I can get them to stay up. I bought a set of Fieldsheer Titanium 2 Mesh Pants, but after 2 days riding on the motorcycle course and 1 day on the bike, one of the waist strap buckles let go:
So far my email to Fieldsheer and the store I bought it from have been unanswered. I don’t know if it’s a straight return to the store, or if it has to go back directly to the manufacturer.
So far the gear has worked fine. I’ve been caught in the rain once (bad planning), and had to turn back on one ride due to cold (I packed the liner for my jacket and non-mesh gloves… but forgot to put the packsack on my back before leaving, doh!).
So, gear review #1: Fieldsheer pants didn’t work out so well.. but maybe my pair were simply defective. Stay tuned…
