Apron leg cover

[zalanz]

Thinking of buying one for my T Max. Would like to read of others views and experiences firstly. Also bar muffs??

I have had lap covers on a couple of scooters which are fitted to them by straps and screws and have been very pleased with them in winter. They kept me warm and dry.

However I thought I would give one of those lap covers that you strap around your waist a try as they are a fraction of the price and promise more flexibility and so bought the HELD 9807 Thermal Scooter Leg Rain Cover for £29.99.

The quality is fine BUT on my first use it billowed up and because of the central tunnel on my Tmax it doesn't sit as nicely as it would on a vespa.

It only has a waist strap, so what I am going to do is attach some elasticated straps to the bottom of each side of the apron and either hook them over the passenger footrests or passenger grab handles - haven't decided which yet.

Will let you know how I get on but it may not be for a while yet.

I hate lap covers and bar muffs, just buy a good quality trousers and lobster claw gloves.

Fitted one on the Maxsym, took a bit of getting used to ( need to get in the habit of moving feet back before putting down). However it does keep one very dry and warm, I am going away again next week and once again using the scoot to go to Gatwick. The return flight gets in at midnight so looking forward to a cosy ride home. I got a Tucano one and the fit and quality is excellent. I got mine from this Italian site which was far cheaper than I could get it in the UK and their customer service and delivery was spot on. http://www.tagoscooter.com/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I For collar and tie city commuters they're very practical, they allow you to ride in just a bike jacket and you can cover your smart shoes and trousers with the apron.

But for me, this is where the concept breaks down - yes, you can then ride in smart shoes and trousers, which is great - until you crash, when you'd like to be wearing something less smart but more protective.

I still ride in all the correct gear its just an extra way to stay warm and cosy (and it is very warm)

Been using bar muffs for over 10 years...wouldn't be without them. Mine were from Bagster/Baglux and are still going strong
