Getting wet riding !

[RealDeal]

Anyone else have this problem? When riding my apex while its snowing my butt and back of my jacket get soaked! that makes for a cold day. Do any of you know where to buy spray sealent. I have yamaha bibs and jacket.

I would ckeck out the local Walmart. Sporting goods section should have a water repellent made for tents.

Isn't a leather suit heavy?

one word for you

KLIM
never wet, always warm
and its so light, you don't feel like your wearing any gear at all

 

[Coondog2707]

second that. durable too

Klim gear also. Goretex completely waterproof and windproof, yet breatheable so you don't soak your under layers when riding hard and sweating. I love my Klim gear. Gene

First, I have never experienced the problem you speak of on my Apex when snowing. That includes three seasons worth of riding.

I wear Yamaha gear and I have always been dry.

i never had a problem getting wet

I posted earlier this season on this very same problem with my sled. Even after riding for 5 minutes, my seat would get wet and eventually seep into my bibs, soaking me too.

I ended up getting a new pair of bibs with Gore-tex, problem solved.

I still would like to curb the amount of snow that builds up on my back though. Are you a big guy like me?

never had a problem staying dry on my apex even in the snow and wear the team yamaha bibs

This does not happen to me on my Apex when I am by myself. If I throw someone on the back then their back gets soaked.

Us dry guys must all be little people.

Just curious, that's all. Ever seen an 18 wheeler that's been through a snowstorm? The back of the trailer is always loaded with snow. Kinda figured that a less aerodynamic figure such as myself would cause a lot more "clinging" action.
