Non traditional riding apparel ideas

[Jster171]

Coming over to a Street Glide after riding sport bikes for the past 20yrs. I am not a big fan of the traditional leather jackets etc that we see with a lot of riders. No offense, just not my personal taste. During the warm months, riding attire is no problem, I am a T-shirt and jeans kinda guy. But when it gets below 65, I start looking for some sleeves. My sport bike gear just won't cut it with this bike. Any ideas?

I can't do the whole leather thing myself, God knows I've tried. I have two different jackets I wear, can't tell you what they are made of but they are light and comfortable. One thing I have found that really seems to make a difference for me is wearing a hoody under the jacket it seems to block air from entering around the neck area and is just plain comfy. I don't care what others think about me I am all about riding comfortably not looking cool and for me leather is heavy and just not all that warm.

Ahh yes, thread resurrection.

I've had some cool mornings going to work, 39-40° type stuff. I've been wearing a BILT synthetic jacket with a removable liner. I typically don't use the liner, buy instead run a sweat shirt. The lower half is jeans and my Danners. I stay pretty warm on the upper half with this set up.

I really like the Speed and Strength flannels with kevlar in the shoulders and elbows
