What gear does everyone wear?

[W79]

Before anyone asks: No, I don't have Rev'it shares or anything 
They just happen to be a Dutch company, so a lot of motorcycle stores in my area supply their stuff.

First jacket I ever bought was made by them.  I liked it so much that I stuck with them.  Excellent value for money in my opinion.
Here's my list: it's quite long, but when I got into motorcycles I promised myself I wouldn't cut corners on safety.

ATGATT for me 

Helmet

Lazer Monaco Pure Glass
Fiberglass modular helmet.  Scores well in a lot of tests/reviews.  Very pleased with it.
Discussed it in my first ever vlog a few weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFzdrlUI8qE



Jackets:


° Rev'it Bronx
autumn > winter > early spring
removable thermo liner and wind collar, good jacket: completely wind- and waterproof
I like the casual look of this jacket...



Rev'it Air
spring > summer
Great jacket.  Nice tight fit, zips to the back of my pants so it won't slide up in the event of a slide.
With nothing but a shirt underneath this is perfect on a hot summer's day.  I usually wear a thin fleece or a windstopper underneath on those 'in-between-days'.




Pants

° Rev'it Factor2
autumn > winter (other seasons: only outer shell)
Very comfortable pants with good warm lining.
Sometimes I'll use the outer pants during summer as well, just wear them over my normal jeans.
Can come in handy when I need to ride to an occasion where I can't come dressed in full riding gear.



Rev'it Gear2
spring > summer
Leather pants with mesh panels on the front.  With a zip-in waterproof lining.
Lining stays in during colder days, goes out when it's hot. Comes in so many sizes/protection inserts are so versatile that you can really 'customize' the fit of these pants.  Love mine, fit like a glove.



Richa Kevlar Jeans
All year
My 'backup pants'   When I take one of my mates for a ride, they usually wear this, the outer Bronx jacket and my low boots.



Gloves:

° Dane Funen
winter only
Goretex gloves, perfectly waterproof, still not good enough for longer rides on very cold days, but they do the trick 99% of the time.



Rev'it gloves
autumn, cold summer days, spring
Forgot the name of this model, apparently no longer in production, picture looks a lot like mine
Basic gloves.  good fit: you forget you're even wearing them.



Richa airwave
hot summer days
Not my favourite gloves.  Provide excellent airflow, but the fit's just not perfect.



Boots

TCX Jupiter 2
All year, mostly autumn and winter
Low boot, gore tex
Use this pair most with my winter pants



Rev'it Rival H20
All year, mostly spring/summer
Good boots, use them most with my summer pants, because they have a tendency to crawl up on the lower TCX boots, when I take on a more sporty riding position

LOL. I didn't really even notice the naked people first time I looked at the pic. Oops.

Whats that, not being an administrator?

Or being only half a man (but the weight of two). Either works.

just realised.. i aint listed gear yet ..

ok .. Nolan N102 Helmet
but i really want one of the new N104 

Starider (a smaller AUssie company) Mesh Jacket with liner (same jacket but main lower panel is kinda silver)
sometimes a GoGoGear Armoured Hoodie inside out view to show pads etc
Starider fully lined black denim jeans (about $130 compared to $250 for the big brands?) .. and IMO a better lining and overall fit (for me)

either Rjays Mesh Gloves or Rjays tornado gloves (for cold conditions)

Johnny Reb 'Rascal' boots .. in size US14 .. also good for head kicking!  but with the little heel logo removed... just didnt like it 

i want to get some full lined cargo pants (camo or plain) .. that come in 46 (fat bastard) .. but its been a long search for my budget requirements..

also want to get one of the 'older' Joe Rocket , Rocket Nation leather Jackets .. dont mind paying for this .. but budget and time for looking when i have the $ is hard to match 

and eventually need to look up a good rainsuit in 'fat bastard' size too... i actually dont mind riding in rain at all... lol... seeing the water drops splatting the  face shield entertains my simple perceptions..

Pics!



Shark S500 Air Lid. Served me well over the last 3 years riding, probably the most comfortable thing I've ever had on my head.



Rivet Monaro Touring Jacket. Recommended to me by a friend who has the exact same one. A bit warm in Summer buzzing around town, but comfortable at highway speeds. Trashed the first one I had when I ditched Spewey last year. Trolled around for another one online. Loads of pockets too, so I don't run out of space for shaZam!.



Alpine Stars Alpha Touring Waterproof Boots. Once again, recommended to me. Good protection for my ankles, of which one of mine is rooted already.



RJays All Seasons Gloves. Waterproofish, a bit warm in summer, but really good fit for my hands.

I don't have pants anymore, they got trashed when I ditched Spewey on his final ride late last year. I can't find a picture of the old ones, they were some no name brand things I picked up from a clearance table at the stealership. $60 and I got to keep my skin. Happy with that.

I think I've seen them boots somewhere before. Oh yeh, that's right. The 70's!

love the knees, love the shoes!

I can't recommend the knee guards enough. They go on comfortably under jeans and, they can take a beating (tested by yours truly), and they are very well ventilated.

The shoes are pretty great too. They can also take a beating, the mesh construction is great for moisture wicking, and they are pretty comfortable. My only complaint is that the lack of laces leaves the shoes a little loose. You do have to be careful with sizing--if they are too loose, they can and will come off in an accident. Mine held up fine when I lowsided and trapped my foot under the bike, but they could stand to be a little more form fitting.
