Helmet: BELL Apex
Jacket: TourMaster Intake mesh & Texport leather
Gloves: Teknic SMT
Pants: Cortech DSX Denim (with CE-Approved knee armor)
Boots: AlpineStars SMX-2
KNEE PROTECTION: THOR FORCE KNEE/SHIN GUARDS ***

*** Had an accident in June which ended in knee surgery. Since then I will not ride without some form of knee protection. Either my Cortech pants with knee armor or my Thor knee/shin protectors. Think about it, the chances of your knees hitting the ground in an accident are pretty high, yet a lot of people neglect this part of their body when buying gear. A knee injury will sideline you for a long time while it heals and surgery and physical therapy are a lot more expensive than a set of knee guards for $50-90. Don't forget to protect those knees!
