I'm looking to get my bike soon, but I'll be getting the gear first..

I was looking at this jacket..
Alpinestars T-Stunt Air-Flo Textile Jacket $189

http://www.newenough.com/alpinestars...acket_page.htm

but i dont know if it has armor, or where the armor is? Is it a good jacket for a good price?

These gloves..Alpinestars SP-S Gloves $62

http://www.newenough.com/alpinestars...loves_page.htm

I also need a helmet and if someone could suggest a pair of pants/shoes.. I saw a pair of sneaker-like shoes at the kawasaki dealer that had protective plates around the ankle bones.. dunno if those are good enough? Thanks!

these were the shoes I saw

this helmet as well.. would match the GS500f in yellow, pretty well..
