I have recently returned to the bike world and am having a blast .. admittedly I am fair weather rider....so for now I have the following gear:

Arai helmet
Rev'it Air jacket
and Shift Fury riding gloves....

next are riding boots and what about pants? I feel kinda vulnerable riding in jeans but i don't want bulky leathers. any suggestions?

thanks

 

helmet: Joe Rocket RKT101 Carbon Fiber
Jacket: Dainese New Delmar Perforated Leather Jacket
Gloves: Dainese 4 Stroke Gloves
Pants: Shift Torque Street Jeans
Boots: Dainese TRQ Race Out Boots or Dainese Quito Leather Riding Shoes

Shift Torque Street Jeans have 0 impact protection. But they have kevlar reinforcements in the knees and butt (common abrasion areas)

 

Current Gear (street & track)-

Helmet(s): Shoei RF-1000 x2, Shark S650.
Jacket(s): Alpinestars TZ1, Icon Daytona, Joe Rocket -Team Honda textile.
Gloves: Alpinestars SP2, Icon Merc gauntlet, Joe Rocket Super Moto, Sidi Power, Spidi Race Vent.
Pants: Alpinestars track pants w/ pucks (zip to TZ1 jacket to make 2pc suit)
Boots: Sidi Vertigo x2, Alpinestars touring
Leathers: Spidi NRG
Back Protector(s): Spidi Back Warrior Evo, Spidi Back Warrior insert

For hot weather, I use UnderArmor HeatGear under my suit.
For cold weather, I use UnderArmor ColdGear, Buff neck gator & Tourmaster silk glove liners.

If you don't want to wear standard leather track pants, the Icon Automag Leather Overpants are a great option. Also, the Carhartt double-thick/front jeans are very durable.

 

we need a season gear sticky . one for the summer months and one for winter months.i speak for myself when i say that i stop using my padded jacket cause of the heat, but quick tips that i can learn to keep me cool and keep me protected would be even cooler

 

Been looking for a textile jacket for summer riding. One of those mesh ones with
the armour. My leather jacket is just a bit much at 105. Been wearing a leather vest,
but that don't help shoulders n elbows.

The rest of the ensemmble...leather chaps, helmet (with blue-tooth stereo), Sidi boots and ALWAYS gloves (finger-less w/reinforced palms, atm).

Current Gear-

Helmet(s): Arai Profile.
Jacket(s): Komodo Ceno leather .
Gloves: Spidi STR-1, Highvelocitygear group buy supposed to happen soon...
Pants: Forcefield Pro 'under'-pants (also have the Pro Shorts), + Spidi Hurricane textile pants.
Boots: Xpd WP-7 WRS
Leathers: none
Back Protector(s): The CE certified one in the Komodo Ceno. Looking for a Forcefield insert soon!

For hot weather (up to 125F), I use an LDComfort mock turtleneck shirt under my gear soaked w/water. I also have a phase-change vest.
For 'cold' weather (meaning down to ~freezing; hey, it's Phoenix!), I use an LDComfort mock turtleneck shirt under my gear.

 

I would recommend the Rev'it AIR jacket.....it has amazing ventilation and good armor,,, its been the hottest summer on record here in Toronto and its handled the heat very well.

 

Interesting stuff! Thanks for the heads up Pipa.
