When I first started biking (1959) most of us wore Wellington boots with sea boot socks turned over the tops. Absolutely waterproof, once the rain got in it never got out. :-D

I can't believe this channel isn't more popular. Great work guys.

Great review on winter riding with experience behind the commentary. Great selection in the shop too

These guys are an amazing motorcycle clothing store definitely would recommend my package came 2 days earlier then expected

In my youth biking in the sixties multiple newspapers for the chest area with a parka over the top. Pre helmet days so the parka fur lined hood came into play. The biggest change from then to now was four gallons and four shots for £1.

I’ve just been to the Harlow branch a week ago - staff are friendly and extremely helpful. I bought alpinestars waterproof trousers, leather restorer/waterproofer, goretex inner gloves and an Oxford level 1 back protector as a spare. After four winters of daily riding, the best advice I can give to keep warm is to get heated clothing. The heat will help keep you concentrated on the road and make you safer. Some brands have a lifetime warranty too.

Awesome video Kieth with some fantastic advice! 👍🏻

Great advice as always, I always used short fingerless gloves with muff's & heated grips , long sleeve silk gloves and silk tights are great (also while riding a bike)(all year😉).

Great information well done , I’ve got to get down to c u guys and spend some dosh 👍👍🏍🏍👍

Very professional presentation, really useful + enjoyable. Thanks :)

Glad you liked it!

I'm not to enthusiastic about heated grips. I have Oxford grips on my VFR (I also ride all year, except for snow and ice). Yet they do not heat the top of my hands and that is the side exposed to the wind. I use heated mittens and like them a lot. A bit cumbersome, yet ever so warm... Much warmer than my heated gloves.

We'd love to have a store in Scotland. It's just a matter of getting the right location at the right time and those two things haven't come together... yet. Cheers, Tony

You may have detected an Australian accent in this video. So a 'g'day' was more likely. We'll request one the next time we put a camera in his face. Cheers, Tony

Nearly excellent. Shame you completely ignored FEET

TBF… he did mention heated socks and heated insoles, waterproof boots and base layers for the lower part of the body….apart from that you’re right, completely ignored them 😂

@@BeePea123 my bad then. I watched it twice as well. Must be losing it (me i mean). Sorry. Thanks for pointing that out. I just contacted my friend in Finland, horse archer. His advice, wear a size bigger boots, so air can circular, and wear natural wool socks, thin with thick over.

@@BeePea123 Just watched it a THIRD time, waterproof boots, yep, fair enough. Other than that, blink and you miss it, scant mention of anything else related to keeping your feet warm. I use sportsbikeshop a lot, I've no axe to grind, I just maybe was hoping for some actual information re keeping feet warm, rather than almost zilch :)

When I started many a year back, the feet we would put plastic bags on. Then the gears was not as good as to day

@@Oldbutnotout1 Doc martens and a belstaff was my original riding kit. Then advanced to derriboots for the wet weather. Those were great. Zero protection, but never wet feet. Plastic bags are always useful, but nowadays pretty expensive :) I wonder if tesco would get upset if I wandered in with 2 destroyed and stinky bag for life bags and asked for replacements. :)

Simple, take the car
