dude i love the helmet and boots! all my gear is new this season lol, this is my first season… I bought my HJC lid and a zero-60 jacket first and I love my helmet but my jacket was way to heavy and bulky, felt like i was wearing football amor lol… this castle jacket had the same amount of protection in same key areas but alot more comfortable to wear, i dont feel like Michelin man anymore lol. and i got the Icon gloves cause wearing thing cotton gloves felt skecthy. also thou prolly no safe but i just been wearing like regualr HD work shoes lol
