that stuff sucks when you have to get new equipment from silly damage that has nothing to do with even being on a bike.


put on a jacket and helmet and went outside:

that's usually the pair i wear when its over 70 degrees. love the scorpion jacket, btw, recommend it. very comfortable even in high heat.

HJC CS-10, overdue for an upgrade.
Icon Motorhead, Saved my arm on a get off armour and leather worked great held up wonderfully.
Icon Super duty 2 gloves, Ventilation sucks because there isn't any. Your hand are sweating within ten minutes. Thick leather though that I'm sure will offer great protection. Never tested hopefully won't have to.

All gear is in the process of upgrading.

They're decent. I've only been in one minor fall down with them on so I can't say much about durability in a crash (but they held up fine sliding about 5-10 feet). They're comfy by themselves (just a bit baggy) or over pants. The white color has faded to look more peachy / eggshell in a few places, something I don't really like. Worked decent in rain - they aren't rain pants so they did well enough for what they are. The other thing I didn't like is how much they flap in the wind, but that's just a personal preference and doesn't really affect anything.

For the price they've served themselves well, but if I did it again I'd rather get a jeans-style pant for casual riding, and then a more protective partial-leather pant for longer rides that might be somewhat spirited but didn't warrant wearing leathers.
