Title: just bought new gear
Post by: NeoGenesisMax on April 14, 2015, 11:59:02 PM

Finally got a my first armored jacket for this summer and a matchinv pair of armored gloves. Spent about $160 all together. It was not that hard to find something low key for scooter riding. No leather and no flamboyant crotch rocket stuff. Armored shoulders, elbows, and forearms with a spine pad.

I can say this about that jacket, it holds up in the real world. I got T-boned and took a 35mph slide in that jacket and had zero road rash. You got the good price on it. Twice a year at 99.00 then back to 169.00.

I hope you never need it!
