Tools

Various

Armor

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.

Helmets

Jackets/Pants

Leather:

Rukka:

  • Really didn't like how the Rukka fit, was too tight in the shoulders and loose in the gut.
  • Rukka Armas Jacket $1300 (I probably fit a size 52 in Rukka based on how the 50 and 54 Airway fit).
  • Rukka Armas Pants $900
  • Rukka Armaxion Jacket $1000
  • 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.

Jacket/Pants (probably black, size Large jacket, 32-long pant): Pretty sure I'm gonna go w/ KLIM stuff, seems really well made (in the US) and they've got a wide range. I'd probably go w/ black.

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

But there're options up and down in price from those... some w/ more and some w/ less armor and/or durability...

Step up from the Traverse is the Overland (includes armor so actually less than the Traverse if you want armor):

or

Klim Lattitude, lighter than the Badland:

...and then up another notch to the Klim Badlands Pro jacket/pant more for the 1190 type of riding (includes armor):

and then something simpler, more for MX but still useful for other stuff:
