Ran into this issue recently. Currently use Motowolf two-piece raincoat. Yung upper no problems for me, comfortable and reliable enough as an overjacket sa riding jacket ko.

Yung pants though, masyadong masikip yung suot-tanggal pag naka boots na ako. Any recommendations for rain pants na available sa atin na madaling suotin kahit naka riding boots?

Considering Decathlon cycling overtrousers pero de-velcro lang yung side. Yung hiking overtrousers mukhang ok naman, pero baka bitin yung awang sa ankle. Mukhang goods naman si Oxford Rainseal pants, pero parang di sulit yung price.

Looking to streamline my detailing sana on a ceramic coated vehicle with a weekly maintenance touchless wash. May available ba locally? Car shampoo doesnt take care of grime that well without mechanical agitation.

Go ahead. Check your Meralco bill.

Go to the back page where it says System Loss.

~5% of your bill goes to that. On ours in the last billing, that's equivalent to P0.8/kWh. Meanwhile our rates have skyrocketed from P11/kWh all the way to P16/kWh in the span of a few years. Yung bill mo na 5000 dati ngayon 8000 na, kakaltasan mo lang ng 400 happy ka na?

Sayang yung galit natin for such a measly sum of money. Meanwhile Meralco's executives are laughing all the way to the bank with their negotiated generation contracts which are the real cause of why we're being charged nearly double of what provincial electric cooperatives are charging their consumers with. Partida halos pareho pa systems loss nila, maybe even worse than Meralco's.

Regardless, Meralco Sindikato pa rin. We unfortunately just locked on to a red herring for their benefit.

Also just as a side note, System Losses ≠ jumper. Jumpers are one of several things that's considered Pilferage, which is just a subset of non-technical losses. Technical losses arise from basic physics, you cannot have a system that's 100% efficient. Sa DU side, that's wires and transformers heating up from current flowing through them. You can minimize it but never eliminate it. IMO it should still be charged to the utility (lol) but because if Meralco hates that idea then they'll do their darndest to minimize losses that will become theirs. Still won't solve our high bills though.

Currently in the market for a second helmet, and considering to upgrade from my current HJC CS-15. More on touring yung riding style ko rather than track/sport.

Features aside (e.g. sun visor ng RPHA70-72) may discernible increase in comfort ba going from P6k 1600g CS-15/CS10 entry level helmets to 26k RPHA series na 1450g, or even the 29k RPHA-11 carbon na ~1200g?

Kung meron man, is that added comfort really worth an extra 20+k?

I find it a little difficult to believe na yung 200-400g weight reduction alone is a significant enough benefit to justify the price, so maybe there's a comfort aspect I'm not familiar with. Happy to hear rin from folks who used other brands' budget and premium segments.
