Get what you can afford.
In a perfect world, we all should wear the best protective gears that are on the market. However, we are far from a perfect world. Some people couldn't afford a 400 or 500 jacket or a 700 arai helmet.
Neema - get the best protection for your money.
Example: a jacket that cost $80 gives you a protection level of 8. increase the amount by 100 with $180 jacket that gives you a protection level of 10. Is it worth $100 for an increase of 2?
I paid $79 for my jacket but I feel that I got a full $79 of protection.
Some jackets offer minimal protection but are very desirable in term of look. The majority of the cost to produce those jackets is probably geared toward look.
