I can't decide what to wear in Africa ? Body armour or leather jacket !
I'm having a last minute moment of indecision about what to wear for my Uk-South Africa trip. I leave in under 24 hours so no time for shopping trips.
I bought Acerbis Koerta body armour as I was feeling a little paranoid. I was going to wear this along with a thin water proof... After trying it all on tonight (yes last minute) im having doubts !
Iv never used it before. It's VERY bulky, aukward and HOT !! I look like an American football player and its a pain to take on and off. It's restrictive to move in and obviously has no pockets. VERY protective but I can see myself getting anoyed with it. I've worn body armour on enduro holidays and it's hot and aukward although you do forget it's on once your riding... Lots of funny looks in petrol stations and shops though.
I also have a summer vented "Wolf" leather Jacket which I pretty much live and sleep in. I think this will also be very hot but no more than the armour and much easier to live with ! I can use the thin waterproof over this too.
Its very similar to this buy has perferated panels for cooling !!
What are you thoughts ???? I'm wearing Akito desert trousers...
Cheers, Ted
