Planning to do my first longer trip. I no longer have textiles (used have a closet full of all types); trying to get by without needing to buy a new textile jacket. I prefer leather for the safety aspect too. My leather jacket is a sport riding jacket, so really no room to layer underneath. I would think that an over-jacket might provide an element of warmth for the chilly mornings/evenings too. I'm doing a ride in the Summer up the coast of California (SD to Canada), so not expecting a ton of rain -- but I would think I will hit some in the PNW.
Anyone wear a shell type jacket over your leathers for rain? How does it work out for you? I've seen folks do this - but wondering if it's viable? If so, what should I look for in purchasing one? Other than "it's comfy over my leathers and waterproof"
* I remember seeing GaryJ do this with some frequency, but never got a chance to talk to him about it.
Thanks!
