Revision as of 17:57, 9 February 2014
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.
- Gaerne SG-12 Boots $499 at Atomic Moto, little more at Revzilla.
- 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
- 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.

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