@bazzashadow the thong helps me move around on the bike in the twisty bits I'm digging a hole here aren't I Mark shut up
I wear an IXON one piece perf race suit on most days out......IXON RS pro HP gloves, Under armour based layer that keeps you cool in the summer and a cold weather one in winter with thermal tights. TCX RT race boots. On the odd occasion I'll wear jeans with a textile jackets if I'm just nipping out. I've also just acquired a Fully armoured textile waterproof/windproof jacket and trousers from RK Sports. Not expensive stuff by any means but I'll only use it once in a blue moon, just gives me the flexibility to get out if its cold (if it rains I'm covered).....didn't want to shell out too much. I'm seriously impressed with the quality, fully lined, full removable thermals, decent armour, nicely fitted and not all baggy
For my daily commute, nothing beats the Richa Atlantic Goretex jacket and trousers + Alpinestars Web Goretex boots (keeps fairly cool on crazy 30+C days and nice and warm on chilly winter -2C days). Gloves on the other hand (well, both hands) are proving to be a nightmare (I must have at least 8 different pairs). I've been using Richa goretex gloves but they aren't warm enough for those cold mornings of late (-2 C yesterday morning) - my finger tips go numb after about 10 mins of riding at reasonable pace on the A20 into London. So I took the plunge and bought a pair of the Gerbing XRL heated gloves (and a 2 Ah battery pack). These are ok, but it can be a bit like riding a bike in boxing gloves. Indicating is ok, but any finer controls are a bit tricky, and opening and locking my visor closed on my Shoei hat is frustrating. I don't have heated grips on my blade but maybe that's the answer.. For weekend rides when the weather's nice I've got a 2 piece Richa set. I guess I like Richa, just need them to do a bit of R&D and then it'll be my name stamped across my back..
Dainese combo Mugello Jacket & Delta 3 Jeans, Druid Gloves, TCX boots, with cool dry thermals Dainese Textile & Goretex Gloves
Well I've bought a set of Held 2 piece leathers. Not had any Held stuff before apart from gloves but if the suits are anything like the gloves it should be sound.
A BKS two piece that I’ve had since I was younger and slimmer, That now doesn’t zip up all the way at the flies. I like to show off how fat I’ve got whilst riding
Scott, 2 piece leathers (being short in the leg I need the kex to be custom made). Alpinstars gloves and boots. Arai lid. Cardo intercom.
Too much 'name brand' stuff here. I'm steering well clear to save embarrassment over my 'Mega Mart' specials.
I've owned mega mart specials, nowt wrong with them either, still got me oxford one piece & gloves which were bought at the nec for £100, most comfortable tbh, some review reckon there crap but I reckon nearly 10k has been done in them, all zips etc still working, got some IXS 2 pieces leather & textile from J&S aswell which are heavy and very stiff so they don't come get the use they should.
Just got a one piece dainese laguna seca D4 perforated suit, its fine in summer, i dont mind getting hot, in winter, I have oxford thermals, plus a tshirt, sweatshirt, and if its really cold, i found a zip hoody that will fit over the top I like leather too much to buy textiles, but probably want a two piece non-perforated suit too
D-air suit......full metal gloves Dainese race boots....D back protector D socks and 2 D under suits one thin one thicker for colder days......full factory effort all the gear no idea......
