gear, who wears what?


First Gear 2 piece suit(couldn't find a pic)



Icon Hooligan Helmet(HJC AC-11 spare)



Setup boots



Olympia Carbon/Kevlar/leather Gauntlets



Icon Field Armor vest




I generally where everything except the armor vest on the street. I should probably start to wear it anyway since I have it.

As you can see, I have no brand loyalty!

gear, who wears what?


Arai Quantum F helmet

Vanson CSRX Jacket Custom fitted leather (most of the time and has saver me once already)
Vanson Supermoto Jacket (hot weather)
First Gear Mesh w/liners (rain/cold/hot putting around riding)

IXS Seca gloves

Jeans for now

Rev-it and Sidi socks. Believe it or not, the Rev-it sock are amazing. They reduce fatigue and are much more comfortable than regular socks. I was skeptical but I'm glad I got them.

Sidi B-One boots or Timberland Pros (on the verrrrrrry rare occasion)


My gloves have been great but it's time for some new ones. I'll be getting some Held Phantoms over the winter. I've decided that some better protection is in order for my legs so I'll be getting some Vanson Supermoto pants custom fitted over the winter as well.

Hey Union: where did you get those pants? I can't fit in anything off the shelf either.

gear, who wears what?


Helmet - HJC AC-12 - Not bad fit, decent fog prevention
Jacket - Fieldsheer Textile Track Jacket - decent protection for the $$$.
Gloves - Joe Rocket Honday full (GPX-2 with Honda logos) - great fit, comfortable
Pants - usually jeans, but will be getting some form of riding pants in the off-season.
Boots - Icon Field Armor - fit is good, but the toe is too high, making upshifting difficult.

Usually the first thing I put on before a motorcycle ride is Underwear... I'm a fan of either Boxers or Boxer briefs. Which one I choose really depends on what kind of riding i'll be doing. If i'm sport/track riding i usually go with boxer briefs. They offer more support than boxers, but w/o the claustrophobic retristion of regular briefs. No tighty whities for this guy.
