I noticed that we post a lot about our bikes but it would be cool to see the gear we use too. Pics of your helmets,jackets, gloves, boots, etc and anything bike related.

I'm sure we all own a variety of gear for summer and winter use.And it just may help someone on making a buying decision on a certain product.A mini review about each product if you can with pros/cons would be great.

So what do you'll think ?

Let me start by posting what I have so far.

Pic

1 Alpinestars airflo jacket [ just love it]:thumbup:

2&3 Icon Americana Helmet.:thumbup:

4 Tourmaster Textile/mesh convertible 3 stage Flex2 jacket.
[Great overall jacket.Tourmaster Flex II 3 stage jacket outer textile zips out to reveal a full mesh for warmer also has a polyfill insert for colder weather, I have ridden in almost freezing temps with this jacket and didn't feel a thing.Cons:its a bit too heavy when its fully set up for winter riding]:thumbup:

5 Tourmaster Textile riding pants with ce armor
[ Good pants but too hot for summer riding]:thumbup:

6 Teknic SMT gloves :thumbup:

I need to get a pair of riding pants, and full length boots/gauntlet gloves, but money is an issue. Plus its hard to find pants in my size.

I've found these work well though. The boots and jacket have been down without a scratch.

Most recent pic attached (while looking at the wife's "new to her" Beetle we picked up over the weekend).
Shoei X-11 Helmet
Review: Great helmet, not too noisy (I use ear plugs) and relatively smooth in the airstream. Fit is firm and comfortable.

Aerostich Roadcrafter 2 (with spine pad accessory)
Review: Like pretty much any other Stich owner says, it's a great suit! I've had mine since 2005 and it's pretty well broken in. Very comfortable, tons of storage. I wear it on the hot days too and, while I sweat like a hog when stopped, I get nice airflow while underway. I've worn this suit through all sorts of weather and never had a leak problem in the crotchal region like some others have reported. I tend to make sure theres's no spot for water to pool.

Oxtar Matrix boots (guess Oxtar's now called "TCX")
Review: Very comfortable boots! Waterproof (for me) and not hard to spend all day in. Mine are well broken in.

Joe Rocket Mesh Gloves (oldies, but goodies)
Review: Had them for so long now, I haven't a clue what model they are. They're comfy on the hot days, but probably getting a little too worn out. I have some Fieldsheer goatskins I use too, but they're gauntlets and a bit too warm for NC summers.
