I am loving those gloves CAPT.

They are amazing I’m not a fan of gloves with the huge knuckle guards and these fit great! Have had them 2.5 seasons so far and they have held up great!

im not a fan of gloves at all, very guilty of not wearing mine… have to work on that lol… my new ones I got are suprisingly comfy though and dont get to hot.

Gloves are the one things I’ll always wear well that and a helmet I’ve ridden then gauntlet ride from downtown toga to Albany at 3 am too many times without gloves and let me tell you it’s not a good feeling… Way too cold I’ve had good luck with a* gloves I have two pairs, a leather pair and a textile pair, I went through 3 pairs of icon gloves they seem to rip easily

Just pulled the trigger on another back protector for street use only. :slight_smile:

Gone with the Tryonic SEE+, lvl-2, slim profile and light weight. http://shift518.com/showthread.php?t=30192

^^ oooo I like it! looks really lightweight and comfortable

It arrived yesterday, very light weight and comfy. The harness is very well designed which works very well with street clothing. The BP itself is kind of thick on the upper sections, so if your jacket is skin tight you may have an issue.

The only thing it really lacks is some kidney padding, which is a trade off if weight and max cooling is what you are looking for.

nature gave us two for a reason :lol

the perf leather wasnt quite cutting it in the latest heat wave, so i picked up this Speed and Strength Trial by Fire mesh jacket from revzilla for around $130

I love it. Kept me nice and cool this weekend while out riding. Comes with knox armor in the elbows and shoulders, only foam in hte back but can be upgraded to knox easily.

Fits a little big (I got a 2x, normally a 3x in motorcycle jackets) but a tad short in the torso

FYI. Revzilla is doing a AMEX card $10 rebate and you can stack it with their revzilla cash. As usual, ships free for order of $40+.

I see another piece of gear in my very near future…:rofl

Ridersdiscount has the new Speed and Strength 2.0 race suit looks pretty legit for the price! around 679 shipped.

Figure I’d post up my new purchase from a few weeks ago. I picked a Bell Star Matte Carbon and I love it. Coming from an HJC it’s a huge improvement. I can’t compare it to a shoei or arai because I’ve never had one but there is no lift at speed and no “head shake” either. Now I’m looking for some boots for the street that aren’t racing boots and not work boots. Also waiting for the photochromic shield to come in for the helmet (auto darkening).

That is a great helmet! Take a look at this if you are looking for non-racing style riding boots. Personally, I would stay away from anything with laces.

nice video, why should i stay away from laces? wear issues or safety issues?

both

mostly safety, can get caught on controls, and in my experience they break easy in a crash

This just in…A* comp pro

if only they fit me. Those suckers would have probably saved me 2 surgeries

Another custom suit maker, not sure how legit they are yet.
