> Got some new gear today:) my friend who is also a new rider needed to get his gear so i went with him to look, or so i thought, lol, There is a pair of gloves i liked(sick of skimping on then) exspeccially since this is my first season I like the peace of mind that I am protected more. I picked up ICON twentyniner gloves and then i figured ill go full red on my gear to match my lid lol, ended up buying a new riding jacket that was calling my name, Castle, turbine model? so now im all red on my gear lol. to a question now that my top half is protected whats some good riding shoes/boots to rock? also input on the fact all i ever wear is jeans?

> I wear kevlar lined jeans, but seeing as 95% of my injuries from my crash last year was to my legs, ive been trying to track down some overpants with hip/knee armor that fits me. As a fat guy with short legs, its been difficult. so far Joe rocket phoenix 3.0, and icon compound pants didnt fit right. trying olympia airglide3s next

Nice stuff!!
