I recommend a peat shoe dryer. Put your boots on it after riding, dry in a few hours. Less stink! They also make a travel version.

@NomadSweden 4 года назад

Yeah it's the travel drying which is the problem.

Thank you for the nice video! I ride now for 9 years with the Rev’It Defender GTX, 3 layers all in one adventure gear with goretex layer. Use in winter and summer, went every year to Norway with it, sit ALWAYS on my knees in gravel etc and somehow it never let one 💧 of rain through it and is very sturdy. After 130000km’s one zipper got damaged. Just to share you another option... like your content! Thanks again and 🍻

My 3 hour ride in the wind and rain today told me that my 9yr old Klim trousers now leak, my 9yr old Forma boots leak and my trusty Rukka jacket wets out badly...oh and my gloves are useless!! Time for new gear and maybe a new system of gear....ps...what are the green trousers you are wearing...? Cheers, Steve

@davidhyde2267 4 года назад

Very funny video! I went for the Halvarsons Oman, jacket and trousers, just tested the waterproof by riding off road in the British rain all day yesterday, outer shell got wet but not one drop inside on my shorts, (wasn't cold enough for the removable thermal layer) super impressed with the suit. Waterproof layer also comes out for the really hot weather. Great adventure suit.....Surprised a Swedish man like yourself isn't wearing one!😉😆

@NomadSweden 4 года назад

Thanks for the tips, and nice to hear it works :) I guess i am just too much of a barbie doll to wear the same dress all the time :). I like to change stuff and with layers it becomes much cheaper and more options.

Hi Robert. Long time subscriber… first time commenting. Like your videos and sense of humor a lot. 2 questions about the leatt gear. 1) How tall are you and what size did you take? 2) Do you think it will protect against a pavement slide (I know you have the knox, but I have the leatt airfit lite which does not have abrasion resistance)

@NomadSweden 3 года назад

Hi there and thanks! The Leatt will not hold up for a pavement slide. I managed to make hole in the pants in the 4 falls I did this spring. So you need protection under. Still love the lightness of it. I am 180cm and 86kg. Cheers

@allenhuling598 4 года назад

Another great video, Robert....always appreciate the humor! I am due to upgrade most of my gear, so this comes at a good time for me. Never seriously considered protection worn next to the skin...something to think about! Curious what you do with the hood of that rubber raincoat, seems kinda bulky to have inside your helmet, but would likely catch a lot of water on the outside? Never heard of the brands of helmets you are wearing, but just loving the Alpinestar boots I bought earlier this year! Ride safe....we don't have much time left in our riding season!

@NomadSweden 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback Allen! The hood, I pull the strings so the hoodie comes in close to my neck. The hoodie then protects a bit from neck-chill also. The season ends when you say so :)

I got the same Nexx helmet for the price it is good, but what I dont like is it squeezing like a crap :D visor locks can be easily unlocked by accident... Do you like that Xcom intercom? I nearly bought it but then I returned it and went for Tour interphone, because it has a lot bigger battery life...

@NomadSweden 3 года назад

Nexx fit my melon head pretty well. The locks has opened by accident so I agree. The intercom has good battery (10hrs+) but it is a very old technology. Better to buy a separate intercom.

@russ1046 3 года назад

Hej. I have a Hein Gericke Tuareg Rallye GTX II - it is not the lightest or sharpest looking gear out there, but it has a removable Gore-Tex lining and is the only motorcycle gear I have found to be actually waterproof (even when you get that pool of water in your crotch :D). I bought it a few years ago in the UK at half price - Hein Gericke are no longer present in the UK, but having the Gore-Tex on the inside is a winner in terms of durability of the waterproofing. It isn't the lightest and the outer jacket and pants do get soaked through, but I like it. Because I'm dry, and it was half price! I've been enjoying the videos - keep up the good work, and take care out there, Russ

@NomadSweden 3 года назад

Thanks Russ!

@russ1046 3 года назад

@@NomadSweden It's funny when I think about it, there are lots of things which I don't like so much about the Hein Gericke suit, but a few years in it's still what I wear a majority of the time as it's fairly good at most things. I do really like that the jacket zips to the trousers so they don't fall down or feel heavy - and there's a crotch strap thing to stop the jacket riding up if I should go sliding down the road. I have similar hiking gear - not my favourite if I choose with my heart, but so good all-round it's what I end up wearing most of the time.

@Aengen 4 года назад

Great video, as always! Couple of questions: 1. I’m looking to get new riding gear soon and I have been looking at both 3in1 one jackets/pants like revit sand3 and other options like your Leatt 5.5 that acquires me to “build my own layers” so to speak. Do you have any experience/thoughts on 3in1 garments vs making your own layers? 2. What sizes do you have on your Leatt gear? And what size are you.... regarding hight and weight that is? No need for any other info regarding that 🙃 Thanks!

@NomadSweden 4 года назад

Hi there, 1. Having the water-protection on the inside is ok in winter when it's cold and you want it in all the time. But in the summer you will ride without it. So when it rains, you need to take the jacket off. That's the downside I think. Having the protection in the jacket/pants is very convenient but the protection sits a little looser on your body than with separate armor. Pros/cons :) But if I got a all-in-one jacket, then I would go for waterproof outer shell. 2. I wear Large size on all bike gear. 180cm/86kg.
