Title: Got a bike now need equipment!
Post by: jtenright on October 06, 2003, 08:41:00 PM
I have a HJC Helmet from my AutoX days

What brands and where to get a lightduty jacket,  boots/shoes,  gloves.
Not looking to spend much, the bike set me back enough
and would like it if the Jacket and boots were pretty simple, and could be worn around town, school, out!

I know I am asking a lot, but thought I would go for it ;)

thanks

try newenough.com for good deals (esp their closeouts and used gear).

get leather-much better than textile.
Expect about $300 for jacket, $180+ boots, $200+ pants, $60+ gloves.

Try FirstGear, FieldShear, Joe Rocket, Tecknic, Frank Thomas...all good reasonably priced gear.
