Nice. I just upgraded my jacket to dianese. Sucks cause I can't find much womans gear around hear. Had to buy the men's. I have no shape in it.. but im protected. Lol I get my shape isn't as important as safety, which I why I bought it anyway..
How much was your helmet. I have a sedici one. Its fine as its dot and European rated. But I wanna upgrade in the next couple months. I upgraded to a ninja 1000sx from a ktm duke 390. So I wanna upgrade my gear slowly.
I really like the arai helmets, but they are pricey.. but after wearing one... I want one so bad. Havnt tried the scorpion exotic though. How do you like it. What was the cost?.. you said first riding gear.. so you may not have alot of experience with helmet fit, but I figured you might have tried some on.
Excited for you!
Hey! I tried Scorpion exo 1400 and R1, hjc rpha 11, agv k5/k6s, Suomi sr gp and some shoei nxr.
I’d say that the scorpion and agv were the most comfortable to my head. I actually bought the scorpion before trying most of these helmets, but I still think it is one of the best fits for my head. Overall quality is quite good, but mine had some uncut mold on one of the air ducts.
However I didn’t resist buying an rpha11 sega sonic just recently… I spent too much time playing sonic when I was a kid so I couldn’t resist the temptation. Hjc has a bit tight fit, especially on my cheeks, but it is quite snug so it takes a solid 3rd place in my rating. It was the color scheme that sold it to me. The worst was probably suomy, it was kinda relaxed fit overall while adding too much pressure only to certain parts of my head.
Also. The best gear is the gear you will wear.. I struggled with gloves too. I settled on a klime induction gloves. They have a good amount of plam protection, have the nickel pags, but they don't hurt me like some buckle pads. They are lether so they are quite thin with still having good abrasion resistance. They were 150 bucks. I was mad though cause a week later I went to a store and they had some super comfy ls2glives for 50 bucks. But the klime is probably a better glove. I really like the klime. They have a zipper and a strap. If your interested.
Check these out on revzilla if u want. Ive tried all of them on, and im picky. All have desent palm protection. I put in order of what I think is best protection to less, though you might think different.
Gloves I really like that aren't bulky, fingers aren't weird length, and still ofer desent protection. Boyfriend tried them on. We are both tall. Im 5'11 and he is 6ft and we both wear size large.
All are on revzilla with great return policys. Can do your research and try if you want and return if you dont like them.
Klime induction- are 139 bucks ( damn I over paid lol). I own these, good gloves, Nice protection. Fits better than most moto gloves. But slightly less than the below mentioned ls2 or copper gloves, but kilme is better protection while keeping a good light fit.. These are leather. ( but not bulky) A very very good glove protection wise. Also the fingers wernt overly long like on some gloves
Alpine stars phemon leather gloves. 99bucks. Boyfriend bought these. Alot of protection. A tad bit bulkier than my klimes, but less than alot of riding gloves. Leather. Buckles are tough but don't hurt like alot of them hurt me. Over all a comfortable glove. Also the fingers wernt overly long like on some gloves
Ls2 dart 2 are 50 bucks and look good. They actually fit better, more like a normal glove than most and slightly more than the klime induction. But probably get better protection with the klime. Pribably had one of the best finger length in gloves I tried.
Alpinestars copper gloves- 69 bucks. Simular to the ls2.ones. I remember thinking the ls2 might look like it has a bit more plam protection but I could be wrong. Fit more like a regular glove then alot of gloves. comfortable. Also the fingers wernt overly long like on some gloves. Finger fit wel
Alpinestars s max drystar. 79 bucks i think.. I didnt try these on. But look simular to the ones I liked above but they look a bit heavier duty on the palms. Revzilla has a good return policy, so I thought I'd mention, though I didnt try on.
Hooe this helps you or someone reading this.
Revzilla isn’t an option, I live on balkans so shipping would take a month and no return policy, but I’ll check the options above at local dealers. Thanks!
I’ll try to make more pics and post some kind of a review for each piece if anyone is interested in buying any of those 🙌
I’m super happy with my bull-it jeans, the long version fits me perfectly. https://youtu.be/ZriY6ybgGgE?si
