Revision as of 17:57, 9 February 2014

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.

Helmets

Jackets/Pants

  • Rukka Armas
  • Rukka Airway
  • 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):

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

http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Badlands-Pro-Jacket_p_367.html $900 http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Badlands-Pro-Pant_p_369.html $650
