NGD. Woohoo!
Let me start by saying that I love getting new gear. I play guitar too and the days I get something new, big or small, are awesome.
Pants - Dainese New Drake Airs: Thank God I finally ordered something without seeing it first that was great. Fit is great and the knee/shin armor is sooooo much better than any pants I have found locally. Really comfy too. I know that textile is not as good as leather...but it's way better than jeans.
Gloves - Joe Rocket GPX: For the price and the feel of the leather on these I am very happy. Seem really sturdy and solid. I had some A* SMX 2 and already had the seems start splitting on the hand. In fairness I have sweaty hands, but these seem like they will hold up much better.
Bought everything through Revzilla. They have always been the best place for me to get gear. Super fast and awesome customer service. Their review videos are also honest and completely accurate.
TLDR - Got new gear. It was what I expected. Off for a ride now.
