| I just got a '00 suzuki marauder vz800 and I have a good DOT approved helmet and I just picked up a black leather/mesh fieldsheer jacket. It looks more like a crouch rocket jacket but I feel it offers more protection than the leather jacket I looked at. I'm also planning gloves and some kind of slip on knee pads/ maybe shin pads that I can put on under my jeans. I need help on choosing both gloves and pads. Any ideas?

| Do not buy tight or snug gloves, during long highway rides they will tend to reduce blood circulation and numb your hands regards smikail
