I want to ride safely and come home in one piece. That said, I've never really had a riding suit other than a leather jacket, nylon mesh jacket, boots and a standard pair of Levis. I guess it's mainly because I live in the South and it's hot and muggy down here. But now I'm evaluating what I wear and thinking about safety and surviving a fall if, God forbid, I have one.
So how do these riding suits work? Do they slip over your street clothes or do you have to find some place to change when you get to where you are going? How do I deal with the hot weather and stop and go traffic?
I have a Frogg's Toggs rainsuit for wet weather and that is obviously to go over your street gear but should a riding suit (jacket and trousers) be weather proof?
How much money should I expect to spend?
Some input (especially from the Florida crowd) would be a big help.
