Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get your feedback on a couple of gear items I bought used last year. The boots are not too bad, they're made out of leatherish material but nothing hard, got them used for like $25. Is that enough support or do you recommend a more rigidly constructed boot. I only ride weekends and won't probably take long trips (for now at least).

The gloves are summer gloves and I doubt their durability. I don't want to spend $200 on a new pair and there so many choices, what do you recommend in the sub $100 range?

Jacket: I bought it last year from ebay, I think it's ok will probably upgrade next year

I'm also thinking about upgrading my helmet but I think I'm ok with this one, right?

Actually I bought a Gmax GM-68

I've also bought the following:
AGV Sport Solare Vented Pants

Alpinestars Comp Pro Shorts

Knox TP2 Advance X CE Back Protector

Olympia Nova 2 HiViz Safety Vest

So to summarize my questions are:
1- Should I replace the boots?
2- Which gloves do you recommend (under $100)?
3- Any feedback/advice on the other gear?

Thanks!
