D I Y airflow system...
« on: February 05, 2008, 09:20:04 PM »

Thinking about punching some holes in my leathers in preperation for the heat of spain. I have a little 3mm punch type thing and was going to drash holes in some strategic places. Will this work ? Or will it shag the leathers long term ?

Would it not impare on the integrity of the leathers mate?    :dontknow:

Just my thought, but then again if your putting them in places where you probably won't have any contact if you do come off then I suppose they should be fine.

One of  the lads on here was there in december and said it was 20 -24  but cold at night. Thats a big differance from U K at the moment eh so i thought a bit of airflow would be just the ticket.

Yeah that sounds like what our average summer should be like, so I would imagine that it would be a tad warm working hard on the track.  :icon_thumright:
