Heheheh, I had to search the web and check, But yes the Blousing Rubbers of today are really either rubber or like a mini Bungie.
In my day, ( Listen to me, Sounds like an Old Foggie ) The Blousing Bands were made from a metal Spring and they still were OD Green. I still have some squirreled away somewhere from the USMC.
Can't beat a rubber band though, Small, Light, Cheap and easy to have a few stuck away in a pocket or saddlebag somewhere.
For the real cold rides, Don't forget to take sections of newspaper, Fold them length wise and slide it up your pant legs. One section will cover the front of your leg from almost your crotch to your ankle.
Another section across your chest under your leathers will stop any small drafts from sneaking past the zipper too.
I Guarantee you will feel much warmer then.
Now that was taught to me by a real old time rider many years ago on a long trip in Freezing weather.
And you have paper to start a fire if you need too. Grin
I have enjoyed extended rides in 16 Degree F. for hours this way and thank that old timer every time I use the trick.
I have ridden with others that were close to tears due to the cold and even a couple GUYS that swore by wearing Girls Stockings.
I never could face myself for even trying that though.
Their point was some football players wear stockings for winter playing.
But I figure any football guys that pat each other on the Ass are libel to wear anything.
Just my Opinion.
