Moto Riding Gear

Armor

• Leatt 3DF-Airfit Jacket $250. Sounds like great protection and comfy.
• POC DH Jacket $369
• POC VPD Jacket $300
• Dainese Performance Jacket $225
• Dainese Manis Jacket $299.
• Leatt Adventure $250 has a lot of coverage.

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.

• Gaerne G-Midland Boot $300 at Atomic Moto.
  • TCX makes a boot really similar to the Midland.
• Gaerne SG-12 Boots $499 at Atomic Moto, little more at Revzilla.
  • TCX makes a nice boot similar to the SG-12 but w/ a different hinge system. Worth looking into.
  • SG12 for $445, size 9.
  • SG12 for $445, size 10.
  • SG12 for $419 size 9. Pretty sure this is just older graphics.
  • SG12 for $419 size 10. Pretty sure this is just older graphics.
  • Buckle Kit for SG12 $11, includes buckle and one short plus one long strap. I've also seen strap kits of 4 straps for less than $10.
• Gaerne SG-10 Boots $348 at Atomic Moto, $399 at Revzilla.
• Gaerne Balance Oiled $315.
• Gaerne Balance Pro Tech $260.
• Sidi Crossfire 2 TA Boots $580 at Revzilla but I've seen them for $525 at Atomic Moto.
• Sidi Adventure GoreTex Boots $550 at Revzilla, not sure I need the GoreTex which is more $$ than then non GTex version.
• Sidi Agueda Boots $300 at Atomic Moto which slots them in perfectly between stiff, heavy MX boots, and softer, less protective touring boots.

Gloves

• AlpineStar SP3, xl.

Helmets

• Arai XD4 Black Frost Size M, $540.
• 6D Enduro Style Best helmet but it's $750.
• Thor Verge Helmet at AtomicMoto they like a lot. $300.

Jackets/Pants

• Rukka Armas (I probably fit a size 52 in Rukka based on how the 50 and 54 Airway fit).
• Rukka Airway... decided against the Airway, made really well and looks nice but the combo liner thing just doesn't seem necessary.
• 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):

http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Traverse-Jacket_p_148.html $300 http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Traverse-Pants_p_154.html $330

http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Tactical-Short_p_146.html $99

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):

http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Overland-Jacket_p_834.html $390 http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Overland-Pant_p_835.html$380 or http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Valdez-Parka_p_847.html $430

...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

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

http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Dakar-Pants_p_817.html $220 http://www.atomic-moto.com/Klim-Dakar-Pro-Jersey_p_1138.html $140

Various
