Gear Need-to-Knows
Besides that you'll need 8million dollars, what else is there?
I was at Cycle Gear a while ago trying on jackets and gloves and what not, to get an idea of cost and fit. I was told that the jackets should be very snug, very little room to move around. Because of that, even the Extra smalls were too big on me. if this is true, it will be SO MUCH FUN finding good gear. Also, I believe it was Icon they said was the vanity gear and on the tag even said don't wear for protection? (I know Nee will know what I'm talking about, we had this talk on the other board). What brands are the best? What materials? Gloves are hard to find too. I have tiny hands but long fingers. So if the glove fit my hand the fingers were too small and vice versa. Anyone know where I can get "gear for freakishly deformed people"? :D |
Leather offers the best protection.
You will need a helmet. leather gloves, gauntlet style with reinforced knuckles. A leather jacket with CE armor, a back protector, leather pants, again with CE armor, and some good booths that go above the ankle. Thats the minimum set.. As far ad brand, find what fits you the best. |

go on www.motorhelmets.com they have a large selection at reasonable prices...
jackets should be snug, as should helmets. (uncomfortably snug at first) Most brands are good, Icon, Joe Rocket etc... Materials for jackets come in textile, mesh, and leather. and sometimes a combo of each. Leather will provide the best protection, but will be hot, textiles that have kevlar can also be protective, and more light weight. Mesh is exactly how it sounds. Helmets that are good, Arai, Icon, etc.. check the site for some prices and selection. :dthumb: Quote:

Icon's stuff is decent. Some of it is really nice. I like they're Accelerant jacket. Alpinestars is very good gear. Joe Rocket and AGV and Cortech. Sidi boots. Shoei and Arai Helmets... All the big names make good stuff. Go find what fits you. |
