	A few years ago, I bought a leather jacket _before_ my current one wore
out.  The new one was medium brown in color, and rather heavy.  The old one was
black, and not very heavy.   The difference was amazing, the new jakcet was much
cooler in the day and warmer at night.  

	Do any of you on the net have any experience with gore-tex riding gear?
I saw an add in this issue of Cycle for one and two part riding suits in 
gore-tex and cordura and I wondered if anybody out there has any good words or
bad about them?  I ride a BMW twin (ankle roaster) and so I need something that
will breathe.
