Newb gear question
Hi, I just recently bought my first bike a cbr600 and had a few questions on riding gear
im only planning on riding on weekends and maybe once in awhile going to work with the bike but no racing.
i already have a leather jacket with padding for the cold days but i was looking at this body armor for the warmer days, anyone have it? any reviews?
http://www.motodirect.com/servlet/Detail?no=304
also any suggestion for gloves under $76
and as for pants im not a fan of the jeans that look like farmer clothes but i was looking at some other knee/shin pads that can be worn under regular jeans.
http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...ard507597.html
is there any another alternative to these that still provide a good amount of protection and can be worn under jeans unnoticablly?
and i was looking for a pair of padded shorts with those
or any reviews on these two? would these be better then the knee/shin guards and shorts combo?

i know theres some review sections on them but just wanted some opinons from here
any feedback would be appreciated, im completly new to this
thanks alot guys

RE: Newb gear question
your links arent working to well for me. I dont really ride my bike for just commuter, I usually wear a full leather suit.
but, I do own a Joe Rocket jacket with removeable lining and vents so it can be worn year around ,but you already have a jacket.
you could look into a good pair of over mesh/ armor overpants, something along these lineshttp://www.newenough.com/protective_apparel/textile_jackets_and_pants/joe_rocket/ballistic_7_textile_motorcycle_pants.html

RE: Newb gear question
thanks guys, i like the gloves but as for the pants i was actually looking for something i can wear under my jeans, anyone have the Bohn Cool Air Bodyguard Adventure Pants?
if so how are they? would you recommend those for everyday driving?
or should i get knee/shin pads with the padded shorts?
thanks once again
