Prices seem to be right where they should be for new gear. Yea, it's not cheap. If your gunna go for the jeans then get some under/over armor. Knee pads and padded shorts. The padded shorts will give you a cushion on the sides of your hips. Right where you will hit the pavement in the event of a down.

If you don't mind used, you can get top brand stuff for cheap via craigslist/ebay or via your local groups. There is a HUGE track riding group in cincy and they buy and swap gear all the time. There are some really fine deals on used gear on their site. I will pm you the links if you want. Your call.

Either way, enjoy the shopping for gear. As a gear whore, I love having a few extra bucks to spend on gear. Get you some ear plugs too.

Happy riding!
