Commuters....

So here's the deal...

The only riding I do these days is commuting to work (55 miles one way, some twisties, mostly one lane backroads and B roads).

As a former club racer, I feel a bit naked without leather. However, I feel a bit weird showing up to work in full leathers. These days I've been wearing my Rev-It Devil jacket and Rev-it pants (over shorts so I can slip them on/off). I wouldn't have an issue riding to work in leathers if I could wear shorts under the pants, but that's a bit unlikely. Slipping on/off a pair of leather pants in the parking garage is one thing, walking from the bathroom through the building in full leathers is another.

Any suggestions from other commuters on what you're wearing? I'm almost to the point where I'm willing to pony up for some ESquad jeans that I can just wear a leather jacket.

Yea, I'm gonna have to agree, if you must wear a suit to work, getting a full one piece suit like the areostitch is great.

I personally own the Alpinestars knock-off called the DryStar. Its very good, has lots of pockets and is comfy when its cold. In the summer here in LA, I usually just wear a jacket and jeans because it just gets too hot for a full suit of any kind and jeans breathe well enough.
