The Downunder Longjohn

This business is for sale! Click here for more information. DOWNUNDERS LONGJOHNS have been known to motorcyclists in Australia since 1991 when a mail order service was established and extensive testing and advertising was done. Motorcycle magazines such as Two Wheels, Live to Ride, Australian Motorcycle News and Oz Bike tested and, because of its' excellence, promoted the product. Australian Motorcycle News Editor mentioned that he wore Downunders Longjohns on an epic ride in the last 12 months - those Long Johns were 9 years old and still being used- not bad eh? We have letters coming in trying to renew their thermal supplies after 8 or 9 years of wear. This time-tested product needs to be produced again as demand is still there! This product suits the lifestyle of Motorcyclists. These are the facts! Motorcyclist, need thermal undies. If sunny Queensland is where you live, it doesn't matter, because as a motorcyclist you will travel into colder climates and you will do it on your bike. No doubt you will do it with friends, and more than likely roll around in the dust, beside a campfire at least one night. You won't always shower on a run (well not every night) and when non-compus your longjohns will keep you from catching pneumonia- you will forget you are wearing them because they are so comfortable. Motorcyclist need to have full concentration - it's a matter of life and death. Being on the road with unaware drivers and hazardous conditions means that you need all of your concentration. Being chilled to the bone clouds awareness. The one-piece design minimises draughts and the use of double thickness (quilted) fabric has been proven to be the most wind resistant. This is a small paragraph but, if you are a motorcyclist, you know the importance of what is being said. Motorcyclists want to do miles. If a rider or pillion are cold the need to "go" is more frequent and therefore so is stopping. Heat retention is an important factor. If every time you stop to "go" in a cold roadhouse or the side of the road, loosing the warmth you already have makes the task of staying warm on the bike impossible. The unique design of the Downunders Longjohns with the easy access back flap allows the wearer minimal loss of heat retention when "going" The body thermostat begins breaking down at 35-40 years and so the need for thermals increases as age increases.

Long Johns' tracksuits and sloppy joes have been around for years but Downunders are new - and all Australian too. The difference is that we make every product with thermal material. No matter what your lifestyle, you can't afford to be without Downunders. Male or female , young or old, campers, climbers, skiers, fishermen or motorcyclists, Downunder products are the compact and convenient way to keep warm and comfortable.
