i have the alpinestars tech 8 boots white and they are vented never have aproblem with them sweating now

 

.yes the camelbak is drinking system, it holds 72oz of water and has tube with little mouth piece so u can sap on some water while your riding, it also pockets to throw like a tow strap, keys, wallet, etc... And its small so it wont bother you at all.

 

Come about the 1_1/2 mark you'll be thanking GOD for that camelback [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I did GNCC's on a dirtbike a few times, and you'd pass out from dehydration without a camelback. Gncc's are not like a Mx race. There is a lot of WFO, but it is a thinking man's race, and there are plenty of instances/times where you will have to stop and examine a situation before nailing it again. These guys all really already hit the nail on the head for the must have items. All normal riding gear(obviously), and I do strongly recommend a chest protector. I have the Fox Airframe, and I really like it. And its normal for your feet to sweat. Your covered from head to toe except your neck. I'd be concerned if you WEREN'T sweating in the middle of the summer. lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yeah I kinda figured the sweating thing. My feet just get really hot, but that is ok. Thanks for the information, I wasn't for sure what I needed, or what the experience was going to be like. Do you guys know where I can get a camelback? Is my pred ok for these harescrambles? Thanks Brad

 

camelbak.com will show you what types are avail,
but you can get them most any were, there are
even cheaper knock off's out there, walmart carries
some of the knock off brands

 

A chest protectotor and roost deflector are pretty much the same thing. Some go on the outside of your jersey, and others are designed to be worn under the jersey. Pretty much pick you favorite brand, color, and style. Some offer more features than others though.

 

Thanks guys, I appriciate all of the help in getting me started. You have been very helpful. Thanks again. Brad

 

I see that Thor has 4 different kinds of protectors, quite a selection. They have force, quadrant, scattershield, and aftershock protectors. Protectors Not for sure which one I'll be buying, but the rest of my gear is thor, so I'll probably try to stay with it. Which one of the camelbacks do you guys have? I think that harescrambles are only 2 hrs, right? So do I just get the smallest one, I think it is 74oz?

 

One more thing, if you guys don't mind. What do you suggest that I do to my Pred to prep it for the harescrambles. Is there anything special that I need? O and that brings me to another question, I have had a tether cord on my sport before, how do you put one on a pred? Thanks Brad

 

I have the Thor Force chest protector. It is great and very comfertable. It also looks great and comes in many colors. I also like the fact that there are no little arm things to put around your arms. It doesnt matter to me because i dont ride where there can be a lot of roost thrown. I got it for Christmas. It is awesome.
