How much does your winter gear weigh?

Post by fish »

I checked after I arrived home this morning from a 3 hour, 33°F outing on my LIKE200i.

a little over 29lbs...on a 6'3", 268 lb rider.
(so, in the winter my scooter thinks there is an Asian family aboard)

I'll guess 10 lbs. for what I regularly use. I never use my old heavy duty stuff unless I'm shoveling snow in a blizzard.

So basically for a half hour ride with temps in the freezing zone I'll use just a heavy jacket, lined leather gloves, sweatshirt, and eat a big meal. :lol:

Be careful not to get frostbite or pneumonia . . . save yourself for Spring riding! :D

Mine doesn't weigh anything...mainly because I won't ride in the rain.

We mostly get torrential rains here in the winter. Rains so hard that you would be an idiot to try to even drive in it...but people do anyway, so lots and lots of accidents in the winter. Streets flood, creeks flood, rivers flood, yards turn into lakes...that kind of rain. Last week we had more rain in two days than in 6 months outside of winter. Who rides in that kind of weather??
