It may not have been the warmest, but yesterday was the best day of the year. It was definitely Full Leather Weather and I headed out in vented gloves for the first time this season.
I much prefer wearing full leathers to textiles for a number of reasons. Of course there's the protection question, with leathers undoubtedly providing better impact and abrasion protection, but leathers also hold you in a better way. With additional levels of support available to your limbs, riding is far less tiring and enjoyable. It also helps that the leather a far less exposed to turbulence, making the whole riding experience more streamlined.

The forecast for the next few days is pretty positive, but they are reporting a colder snap may be returning by the weekend and into next week. I guess I had better make the most of this weather then. Now, where is my helmet?
