Textiles and leather combo advice?

I didn't spend much time riding last year, I think mostly because I never looked forward to donning the leather onesie and digging the bike out of the garage.

I'd made the decision to change the bike or sell and not bother getting another but I can't bring myself to let it go. What I think I need to do is sell the onesie and I was thinking of pairing leather trousers with a textile jacket, for comfort.

Does anyone know if they can be zipped together?

Any brands recommended?

Etc......etc.....etc......

 

Not sure if they can be zipped together, but if they can't you could always get a matching zip re sown in. Do you need to zip together? Why not keep the onesie & look around for a bargain 2 piece then at least you've still got the suit for fast summer blasts or track days. I wear a dainese textile jacket with removable liner wintertime & rainy days it's super comfy & nice & long in the body & arms. I've got a best pair of furygan leather jeans they were expensive but by far the most comfy pair I've ever had, took no breaking in, they really are superb.

 

The RST gear can be mixed and matched.

 

A lot of leather and textile jackets come with either a short zip or long zip that can be sewn onto other garments.
Alternatively get a bike where you don't feel the need to do the whole power ranger thing like a bonny or scrambler.

 

I was looking at some Furygan stuff earlier. Thanks for the vote of confidence!, Lozzy

 

Ah right. At least I know if can be done.

Are textiles much cooler? I've only ever had leathers.

 

I figured that changing the clothing might be slightly less drastic than binning the Blade.

 

Can't remember what these were called but they still on sale. They're great because the waist is nearly fully elasticated which is brill for fish n chip stuffing trips
V sturdy press studs & zip which you can't say about some other brands n the leather is ohh so soft . 2 of my mates have bought them as well n love them

 

I have a problem in the other direction. I'm having to wear a belt to hold my 32 waist trousers up

 

Oh I dream of having the same problem
Actually I think the elastic may sort your belt problem, they are very snug and hug you in the waist but expand when needed!
No saggy bum in them either which is a first

 

No probs theres a simple cure available at all good supermarkets and public houses.

 

I,ll second that. Have Dainese leather pants and Dryline jackets and they zip together nicely

 

Mine just arrived today. They're mega comfy. Just need the jacket now. Cheers, Lozzy.

 

Textile jackets are amazing,especially at this time of year, textile trousers now for the cold and leather trousers in the warm
