The conditions suggest something different from Planet Arrakis, but the picture still send me back to my youth and reading Dune. For starters, that looks like it could be a stillsuit - suspect all of the moisture would be captured inside and you could run a pipe from your ankles back up in order to have a drink (We'll presume it's not a full stillsuit and not going to filter your urine - though in fairness, that's possibly 90% good Scotch so may not be a bad thing)

The big Dune related question though is the Glove .. This is obviously a technique I've not encountered. You run no Glove on the Right, as a Euro biker I may have to swap that to the Left ? And then the spare glove is used on the saddle ? Presumably to stop crack wash out ? Do you pull the glove over the saddle so the 4 fingers and thumb are flopping or is some velcro introduced into the equation ?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm not Paul Atreides...

I need to change from Scotch to whatever you have been drinking tonight. Planet Arrakis has got me thinking now.

I’m really pleased with the The Leatt 2.0 Subzero glove. Keeps my digits warm whilst also providing dexterity and good grip. Absolute winner of a glove for me

Wore the gimp suit Thursday on a ride. What a great bit of kit. Dirtlej are top quality

Black tights are the best . Back in the mists of time before cross dressing was so open. Had a wet muddy ride at Fochabers so we used to pull the Ron Hills down below the knee to drive home only 6 miles . Richard my mate happened to have a pair of his wife's tights on underneath ( swears it is only for the heat ) . I drop him off and as he hobbles out of the car the neighbours wife is putting out the bin . She winks at me every time i see her now !!!!????
