Boots, pants, jacket, gloves, and helmet.

 

Always wear everthing myself, can`t remember where but someones got this as there sig ` Rather sweat than Bleed` How true.
You`ll only fall of once without gear..............

 

Very true. And for a variety of reasons:

1.) It's a proven fact, the majority of accidents happen within 5 miles of home.

2.) When you're 'around town,' near your house, etc.... you're defenses are down. You're in your comfort zone, so you're not quite as aware of potential hazards as you are when you're in an unfamliar area. All the more reason to keep your flesh protected.

 

I heard that too only in the USMC but it makes perfect sence on a bike!

 

i forgot where i found the link, but sport rider did a drag test on lots of different fabrics wit han 80 some-odd pound bag of sand inside, denim jeans lasted 3 feet (the worst of the tested) and race-weight leather ran for about 84 feet (tip-top of the list).

but as anyone whos fallen off of their bicycle as a id could usually notice, you would usually have holes in your pants just from that little spill.

 

what about any of the icon pants? any good yay or nay.

I wear Joe Rocket 2 piece suit (leather), a Shoei TZR helmet and Alpinestars Gps3 boots. I also have a 2 piece textile suit i wear during cold weather riding and rain.

 

I'm new to bikes, though I have some time on a dirt bike, but only messing around with friends years ago...

I don't want to skimp on gear... I've already got an HJC helmet, but want gloves and a jacket at a minimum. If I have enough cash left for pants and boots, I'll get those as well. Anyone have any recommendations on good, safe gear that won't drain my bank account? I know... you get what you pay for, but I'm looking for real world advice on this.

Thanks!
