VIATERRA RIDING GEAR

EIGHT-MONTHS IN USING THE VIATERRA MILLER RIDING JACKET AND PANTS; HOLESHOT GLOVES

- CHRISTOPHER CHAVES

In my profession, you're constantly out on the road and in the sun most often than not.

This makes things really saucy with riding gear on almost every time you have to head out on a ride in Mumbai during the day. I'd managed to get my hands on some gear from Viaterra and have been using this gear for months and I'm happy to report that after multiple washes, and loooong hours on multiple rides, the gear still looks and feels like new, with minimal maintenance efforts. When I first tried the Viaterra Miller Street Mesh Jacket along with the Viaterra Miller Street Mesh Riding Pants, I was a little bit sceptical thinking, it's going to be like the rest. Breezy at first instantly dirty after one sweaty outing in summer but it turns out its way better than just that.

The Miller jacket is designed with a high-density mesh shell that allows the air to enter in very smoothly. As a result of this jacket, the overheating of the helmet under which I am sweating like in a marathon I did not sign up for, is not happening anymore, because this jacket just lets you hear the word 'relax' instead of the 'overheated idiot' one. Apart from that, it also features a removable thermal liner and an separate exterior layers to take on rain, thus, you are not left bare (in a figurative sense) when the weather decides to do something unexpected.
