BoB3rt Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Hi, Currently buying and looking for new (or used) gear as i will pass my test soon, and still not 100% on items so opinions would help there is a few things i've looked at so rather than make a topic for each item.... better this way.Current Gear: I already have a typical leather jacket, in good condition bearly worn. Pair of alpinestar boots SMX4 but they are slightly too big so need diffrent pair (tried thicker socks - dont work).Have an alpine texture jacket with arm and sholder (possably back aswell) protectors although this is rather wide for me so windblast can be an issue.Also just got a set of used (good condition obviously) IXS Leather pants. An finally i have just bought my lid, Shoei XR1100 Possable new/replacment: - Firstly am not made of money so trying to keep the cost down as much as (hence used gear).so from the top i am looking for another jacket to replace the Texture but i dont mind another leather, I like the simple zip up the middle. there are some on Ebay although for £80 am presuming they are not that well made? there are Spada ones i like but pricey...so would the Cheaper one do job or safer with known brands (as i have read the sticky about buying kit in the forum)I need Pants! as the IXS ones (£15 ) i just got are only ones i have.. was using plain jeans before that ! so looking at some draggin' jeans and red route and hood jeans.... are they all similar or which tends to have best bang for buck? I am not being lazy by the way i am spending hours flicking through pages doing research but best opinions are usually owners or riders.For boots i was looking at THESE as again i cant really afford higher priced ones although the Oxford bonedrys are tempting to.Any advice or opinions, even recommendations would be helpful.CheersRobPs. sorry if links to external sites/retailers are not allowed.
