Just for the looks...nah, Iīm kidding I like to change gear atleast every two years and this year I renewed all my gear. Damn itīs good to feel safe and I know that too many riders just like to ride with an helmet but for me itīs all out and geared up for the twisties.
If riding in the city, at least the helmet and jacket comes along but since I ride bikes for fun and not for commuting, gear is essential. I had a nasty crash a few years ago and gear probably saved my butt so I keep a close relation with it...

Anyways, I was riding with a Shark RSI (Laconi Rep) a Tschull jacket with full protections, Dainese gloves and A* SMX4 boots

 

And now this is what Iīll be riding with: Shark RSI (Guintoli Rep) Tschull jacket and pants, Drenaline carbon gloves and Oxtar RS Performance Replica(TCX)

Thatīs my girl trying the RSI to see if the shape fit her head since I have too buy her a new one also. But unfortunately it doesnīt, sheīs more rounded on top and this RSI model itīs quite narrow. To tell you the truth itīs the most confortable, well balanced helmet Iīve ever used, for my type of head the Shoei and Arai have nothing on it. And in quality also. Just love'em. Iīm on my 3 so it should tell you something...
