Review on Firstgear Thermo One Piece Suit Large by Abhinav Drury

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a bear? That's what it's like to be a bear.

I live in New York. If you read this in the future, it was very cold in New York in January 2017. It was 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit and dropped into the single digits at times, making it almost impossible to ride a motorcycle. I thought $200 was a lot but I put it in to keep riding. I tried it for the first time last night when it was 19 degrees Fahrenheit. Under the suit I put on a jacket, a long-sleeved shirt, jeans and thermal underwear. I was a bit cold while riding, otherwise comfortable. It's like taking out the garbage in a shirt and pants when it's 60 degrees. But given that 19 degrees Fahrenheit in 60 mph winds is -22 degrees, "a little cold" is pretty damn good. It is absolutely wind and waterproof. At one point I had to ride my bike on an icy road. I was really sweating, and not because I was pushing the bike, but because it was going downhill. A suit like this could mean the difference between survival and freezing to death. This is a particularly good suit for the money. Very glad I bought it. The only problem I have is how difficult it is to put it on. You basically unzip it from the front and go inside. But lightning doesn't travel very far. It's like stepping into a space suit. But that's hardly a complaint. You can also complain that he has no butt. I love this suit and would recommend it to anyone who rides in the winter. Or even if you don't ski in winter and are outside in extreme cold and strong winds.
