Riding Gear

Well with bike parts on the way from the US and still waiting on the Bikes it seemed like a good time to review riding gear.
In our current Enduro lineup I have Alpine star tech 6, Alpine star upper body armour, knee pads, MX gloves and a Leatt brace with a Fox V3 helmet. Most of which will not be suitable to many hours of road/offroad with the Beamer. So I have gone for the following

• Keep the Tech 6's for now and see how they go; not real happy with anything with less protection given I still have a plate in my ankle from an earlier get-off.
• Ditch the full upper armour for the dryrider rallycross pro2, mainly for abrasion protection, may add vest protection.
• Ditched the MX pants/gloves for the Dryrider rallycross, gives more abrasion protection. Keeping the leg strapped knee pads.
• Ditching the V3, although I really like this helmet with the best ventilation and lightest helmet I have had, it is quite noisy and the peak catches the wind at +100km/h so I am looking at a dual sport, favouring the Shoei Hornet at this stage.
• Unfortunately the Leatt will not fit any type of textile jacket so will need to have the RallyCross Pro2 altered to fit the Leatt brace.
