So I'm looking for some new gear (specifically a helmet, overpants, and a leather jacket).
Right now I have a spidi mesh jacket, scorpion exo700 helmet, and my normal jeans with icon field armor underneath. I need help on my upgrades/updates.
I really want a leather jacket, but I want it to be able to fit a CE approved back armor.
I was looking at some alpine stars leathers for $230-250. Also scorpion has some nice leathers (not sure about the back situation on them) for $199. I believe its called Scorpion All In? Any other recommendations within $250 for a decent pair of leathers?
As for helmet, I'm not sure what I want. I really like my current scorpion so was considering the Exo1000. Also considering a Shoei rf1100 and an Arai Profile. I also heard that Suomy is good? Im looking to spend a max of 400 on this so Arai seems very costly.
As for riding overpants, I was looking at Scorpion Duece Overpants? They have CE approved knee and hip armor I believe. Anyone know any other good overpants with CE approved knee armor?
Any advice would be great, thanks so much!
