03-03-2012, 07:05 AMI almost forgot the to post about the gloves. I never ride without them same as the helmet and now the boots.
The upper body armour, knee pads and butt-protector are only used during recreational rides or any ride out of the city.

The thick, woolen lined gloves (Upper red and black pair) are my winter gloves and the lower red pair are the cooler summer gloves (some fake brand).
I'd like to get a better pair but I don't know whether or not tanked gloves will cut it.
Maybe the TCV31??? http://www.tanked-racing.cn/products...assid=16&dis=1

03-03-2012, 07:06 AMDear Pete,
Good thread. I'm curious why you're going down the path of piecemeal protection rather than getting all that stuff integrated into a riding suit or suits, where all the protection is built in and the jacket and pants then zip together to keep everything on your body and correctly positioned.
Also, there are several other threads in MCM that discuss these basic issues of safety apparel and clothing and more clothing and gear and helmets and helmets and helmets. You get the picture...
cheers!jkp

03-03-2012, 07:12 AM...got it.
Thanks for those links. I'd only found a couple of them myself.
Looks like I'll need to get on the internet to buy some sort of integrated suit. I want one with knee grinders.

03-03-2012, 10:20 AMHere ya go, a nice Aerostich suit which I personally would love to own.
Shame, I just don't have the 10,000 or so kuai to shell out.
They even have custom tailored Roadcrafter suites, which would no doubt give superior protection. You could even opt for a high visibility lime yellow suit, insuring that no one could have you in eye sight without noticing, which I think we could all appreciate. Again, the suit would run about 6k before alterations.
I just figured this thread could use some leather vs. synthetic banter.

Protection helps, and I agree with 998S leather, particularly an all in one is the best. Just the cost that's stopped me getting one. But being 100% aware, never riding drunk and never riding over 80% of your ability is the best protection of all.

03-03-2012, 11:10 AMI remember Felix posting about some kind of exoskeleton armor that he wears when it's too hot and humid for jacket and pants.
I just say, screw it, and sweat a lot.jkp

03-04-2012, 02:23 AMOUCH! 998S is that PS or real? I remember I had some brand new deerskin gloves and flopped down on the left side and my left pinky finger was caught under either the clutch lever or grip and it tore a hole in the gloves finger. My finger was intact and actually just fine, I don't even recall any pain, but for my pride.
Finger, that's one of those funny words, they don't fing really. Say it 20 times and starts sounding really silly. finger finger finger.....
