Like the R-3, the Hardanger relies on Gore-Tex to keep the rider dry, has 3M Scotchlite reflective panels (3M is also a Minnesota company), and uses a neck-to-leg zip to create a suit that is super easy to get in and out of. How are we supposed to pronounce ‘Hardanger,’ anyway? “Har-dang-er?” “Har-danger?” But it doesn’t say what the body of the suit is made of.

The Hardanger is possibly a little more stylish than the R-3, but it is also more expensive, not made in the United States, and not available in as many sizes and color choices.

I guess that’s because it’s inevitable that at some point some moto-journalist will rave about it, saying something like: “I can’t believe no one’s thought of such a useful suit like this before!”īut, of course, that’s utterly wrong. Nonetheless, I’m not sure about the Hardanger. Strangely dramatic advert for the Hardanger
