The zipper works great but it does take some minor contortions so a little advance warning is helpful.  Actually, it is easier than the two piece nylon gear I have.

As for helmets, I can't magine even going down the block without one.  Read someplace that people who started riding on dirt bikes before going to the streets are more likely to wear helmets all the time.  I know my dirt riding helmet saved me from a couple serious head knocks.  Actually had to replace it after the second one.  Hit a large boulder & got a crack & puncture in it on the upper right side.  Didn't even give me a headache.

I'm not so certain mandatory laws are the way to go as I prefer to give people the freedom to be stupid.  It tends to strengthen the gene pool.   ;D

With all that's been happening with my dad, I've lost some weight.   ;D  At least something positive has come out of all this.  Anyway, at about 15 pounds lighter than when I bought the leathers in April, they now fit great.  I've been on a somewhat healthier diet - lots of chef salads & water.  Also, down to two beers max per day.  Never know when something might happen & I need to drive to the rehab center or hospital in the middle of the night.

If I lose the next 15 pounds like I hope to, I may have to find someone to do some tailoring on the leathers.  Don't want a loose fit or they will wear through in a crash at the wrinkles.  It will be a minor problem, but one that I'm actually looking forward to.

By the way, Brian (Dead Dirty Vision) I liked the moustache comment.  It's another reason I don't dare ride without a helmet - with it all waxed & shaped, the aerodynamics can affect the bike's handling characteristics!

The "brownish pool" is not a "relief spot", it IS just a mud puddle - honestly!  It rained in the hills the day before that ride. There's just a little too much traffic at that point for me to be comfortable using it in anything other than an extreme emergency.   :-[
