Hi, Just looking to get some more gear and have a few questions. Currently I have the following: - Shark Dark Spirit RSF3 helmet - Berik leather jacket, shoulder and elbow protection included (CE approved) - Prorider gauntlet leather gloves Now I am looking for some other items. For pants (all with CE protection), I have a choice of: - leather (this might be a bit hot and uncomfortable?) - gore-tex - kevlar - denim - anything else? So that's my first question...which pants? I am after all a recreational rider, calm sunny day, mellow cruise down the coast and back. Second...do any of you wear any protection vests under your jackets? Back? Chest? This is what I was thinking about: - Alpinestars SMX Bionic Vest - Alpinestars Bionic Flak protection vest Lastly, some decent riding boots...since I ride a cruiser style bike, I was looking for something like a Harley Davidson harness boot. All advice welcome. Thank you |
