    Gear?

    What are some of you guys wearing for gear?..I assume that all the top names in street are also the top names in dirt?(alpinestars, Shoei, etc)

    If you're just curious, here's my break-down:

    LIDS:
    KBC VR1, Shoei RF1000, Vemar VSR Carbon

    LEATHERS:
    Alpinestars GPU 2-piece suit
    Alpinestars GP Plus gloves
    Alpinestars SMX Plus boots
    (just kinda happened that way, I didn't plan to be all A*-ed out )

    BACK PROTECTION
    Bohn Carbon/Kevlar BP & waiting to hear from Tony about back/chest protector combo to wear while racing.
    That's a lotta shit to be wearing on a dirtbike.

    Not really the same. HJC is one of the better offroad helmets while they kinda suck for streetbike helmets.
    I've kinda got a miss match of gear names...
    HJC helmet
    Scott goggles
    Thor chest protector
    AXO mx boots
    Yamaha pants and jersey
    FOX gloves

    Make sure whatever helmet you get has a removable/washable liner. Dirt helmets get nasty quick and usually require washing after every 2 or 3 rides, and only expect them to last about 2 years

    Errr this is the dirty section, I don't think you'd make 100 yards on a tight trail with all that shit on

    I don't think G-man is too fond of Fox products after this past Saturday. Well, their chest protectors anyway.

    HJC's top-shelf dirt lids are an excellent product, and a good value.

    I've never seen or heard of them, but I'm not actually looking around either. I've always had HJC offroad helmets, my next will be a Arai supermoto helmet

    I was surprised to see that as well. I've had my Thor for 6 years now and it's still in good condition and not one part has failed yet. A chest protector is a MUST for trail riding... tree branches hurt like hell even at slow speeds... not to mention a rock or 2 shot up from a rooster in front of you

    Yes the Fox chest protetor broke. But it is all set now thanks to Chris' zip ties. I am going to redesign the shoulder connections and have it re-sewed. Thanks Grandma..

    See you guys next weekend hopefully.

    Besides that I have O'neil Shirt and pants with HJC Helmet and Thor Gloves. All pretty good.
