Tarsnake’s gear

This is the place to read about the gear I’m currently using, what works well, what’s not so good and reviews of any cool stuff that I come across.

BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NEW GEAR I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU RESEARCH THE SAFETY RATINGS AS TESTED AT THE DEAKIN UNIVERSITY MOTOCAP TESTING LABORATORY.

This was gifted to me by the Aust Distributor to evaluate, no strings attached. It is a brilliant piece of kit that not only offers excellent warmth for winter riding, but by eliminating many layers of clothing it offers great freedom of movement. See the distributor’s site Zarkie
