Sounds like the Gaerne boots fit a wider foot, the SG10 size 9 fit me pretty well.  The size 9 in the Balance Oiled seemed a hair tight and narrower in the foot-box, especially across the ball of my foot.  Chances are I won't fit the Sidi boots at all w/ my EEE foot.

Boots

Sounds like the Gaerne boots fit a wider foot, the SG10 size 9 fit me pretty well. The size 9 in the Balance Oiled seemed a hair tight and narrower in the foot-box, especially across the ball of my foot. Chances are I won't fit the Sidi boots at all w/ my EEE foot.

Gloves

  • AlpineStar SP3, xl.
  • Check out some of the Aerostitch stuff.

Leather:

Rukka:

  • Really didn't like how the Rukka fit, was too tight in the shoulders and loose in the gut.

  • Rukka Armaxion Pants $800
  • Rukka Airway... decided against the Airway, made really well and looks nice but the combo liner thing just doesn't seem necessary. The Airman is cheaper and probably more versatile.
  • Dainese Razon Leather $500 at RevZilla, expected by June 30, 2014. ...20140209 Ordered a size 54 Razon from MotoGear.

Currently thinking the Klim Traverse jacket and pant (does not include armor):
