It has been a while since I got some new gear. This time, I finally got a new set of motorcycle leathers and helmet. The old helmet was starting to fall apart, which isn’t good. The old leathers were showing their age as well, but are still good to ride in. So, it was time to get something new.
My new gear is a lot of fun and matches well with my motorcycle. I first replaced the helmet with a Shoei RS-1200 Bandit. The color scheme is a near perfect match for my bike. The leathers are a bit of a change from the past as well. This time, I opted for an Alpinestars GP Pro Tech Air Compatible racing suit. It is a really cool suit and is very comfortable on the bike.
I had also tried on some Dainese suits, but none of them really fit well. I think they have gone downhill a bit as well. The fit on the current Dainese Laguna Seca suit was off. Quite different from my 2013 suit. The color schemes didn’t quite grab me either. So, hence why I went with the Alpinestars suit. Plus, I did want one. I think they look great.
