Re: What do you guys think of this riding gear?
Every time I ride I wear chaps,cycle boots,and leather jacket.I do not wear gloves in warm weather.I don't feel comfortable without my gear on.I cannot wear different boots when I ride because my controls don't feel right.

I always wear gloves, because the first thing to hit the pavement will be my hands. They also have the thinnest and most sensitive skin.

Re: What do you guys think of this riding gear?
Great responses. thank you all so much for the input!
Oh, by the way, I ran across this jacket at a local motorcycle shop. It just might do the trick for $160...http://www.olympiamotosports.com/airglide/airglide.htm |

Re: What do you guys think of this riding gear?
Take a look at Leatherup.com or newenough.com. I have bought a bunch of brand name stuff that's quite good at Leatherup and it's half price or less from what you are looking at - like a fully armored leather jacket with removable liner for $69, and a lighter textile fully armored jacket for $49 for the summer. It's like if it says motorcycle or boat on it, the price doubles or triples at some places. And if you watch for sales, sometimes you get great bargains. A number of us on here bought a $400 Firstgear heavy riding jacket with 2 removable liners for $99 including shipping.
I just recently bought an excellent pair of tough textile cold weather overpants (full side zips) with CE knee and hip armor, quilted lining, and totally waterproof/windproof, online for $39.95 from MotoDirect. Spend a little time looking online, you'll be surprised what you can find. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

+1 on Leatherup.com. Sometimes the stitch quality isn't as good on the off-brand stuff, but it's still cheap and will protect as well or better than many more expensive brands.
