Re: Knees don't like the Storm

What kit are you wearing for riding? It does make a big difference to your comfort. 8O Most comfortable (on knees & ankles) when i wear codura jacket & trousers. 1 piece leathers always most uncomfortable. Put it down to having leathers inside the boots. not able to try them outside. :thumbup:
