finally..been years..
bought a new jacket and gloves just now..it's been years and well, my old stuff was kinda..well old or ill fitting...and my oakleys(gloves) are a different line of work per se.
so i went with this jacket: http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/...3BEX250%3B2010 and these gloves(in white): http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/...3BEX250%3B2010 to go with my vest/back protector and my helmet..both of which are Icon. Helmet(black/rubatone): http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/...ORY/?id=114028 got some good riding shoes still and alreayd owned well built jeans and kevlar jeans as well as some of jsoc stuff and such. 10-12 years ago..wasn't so worried about this stuff..helmet gloves jeans was the gear of choice..not so much anymore, and now i'm all excited about gear...too long with sof community testing and choosing gets me all giddy now i wouldn't say i'm ATGATT but i do wear what i consider the bare minumum. just wanted to share lol |

lol thanks everyone!!
it's so crazy how far the gear has come, the jacket is snug even with some pretty serious padding...the gloves..wow and i thought my work gloves were nice... i am still blown away in the newer helmets, it makes perfect sense, the spoilers and venting...but i had to ride today with my helmet from 2001 and wow..blows my mind...50mph and up it's liek someone trying to pull your head off while being in a paint can shaker lol |

What you think of the gloves? I've been looking at those for a while, but haven't brought myself to buy them yet.
