Christine and I both have those tires. They survived the whole trip in Europe with no flats, and I even rode my 28's fully loaded on the cobbles in northern France with no issues.

I 3rd that sentiment, though I think they have really horrible rolling resistance from my unscientific research and anecdotal evidence BUT have had zero flats in the one year i've owned them....seemingly bulletproof from my glass covered streets of Seattle perspective

i get a normal amount of flats on my past few sets of v. randonneurs, mostly from nails, no glass flats. i'll say they have nice a long natural wear life, and they certainly get easier to put on after a few solid months of riding. That being said, I've had to break out the dish soap getting my new 700x28's on. soooo, do i have any new/relevant information to add, no? goodbye.

The guilt is overwhelming me! I must admit that I edited Lee's post and i'm deeply sorry.

I have paddling clothes for someone a lot larger than myself that came with one of my kayaks.

Wetsuit, paddling jacket, paddling pants, and a weird british combo paddling jacket/spray skirt. The last thing should fit most sea kayaks, but won't fit rec boats.

I can't think of any XXL sea kayakers in the group, but if there is one they should take this stuff. Otherwise I'll find a home for it on craigslist.

is it way larger sized than my extra medium frame?

i don't have sea kayaks now, but could see myself with one in the future. but if it's crazy huge, probably won't work

You can try the stuff out and see how it fits. I'm guessing that the wetsuit and paddling jacket would work, but the pants would be too big.

I found out that the weird spray skirt / jacket thing is meant to be one size fits all, so I guess I'll hang onto that for now. However the pants (Palm), wetsuit (don't the brand, but US made), and jacket (Kokotat) are all up for grabs. Ryan gets first pick I guess. It'll all high quality stuff, probably has barely been used, but did spend some time being stored in the sun.

I tried the gear on, it actually fits me and is a bit baggy, so it would probably fit either of you about the same way. It's better gear than it appeared at first glance, the Kokotat dry top has wrist cuffs and a thing to cover the spray skirt and should be pretty comfortable and stay dry even if you go swimming. The pants are pretty similar. I didn't try on the dry suit, but I'm guessing it fits about the same.

It's about as close to expedition kayaking gear as you'll get without getting a drysuit. Come and take it before I decide to keep it.

The top is something like this (full disclose, it has some mildew stains on the inside, but it smells fine now):
http://www.kokatat.com/helix-dry-top-men.html

The pants are something like this:
http://www.palmequipmenteurope.com/gear/touring_pants_shorts_use.php
(first one on the list)

The wetsuit is a pretty normal wetsuit with arms, probably 3mm thick.

Ryan: You can bring back my sleeping pad at the same time if you do grab this stuff.

FREE to someone who I've ridden with or know. I could sell them but would rather see them go to someone who will actually wear/use them.
