This is a good thread. Im in the market for some new gear. Right now I have a tecknic jacket, HJC cl-15 helmet, and a pair of Icon gloves. My jacket did a good job during my lil mishap last year. Im convinced that if i hadn't had my jacket i would have completely broken my shoulder vs a minor sprain. But its worn from washing now and my riding skill is a lot better. I've been thinking about getting a Rocket jacket and maybe a Scorpion Helmet. They have a new Helm coming in July that I think is very comfortable. Im not so happy with the HJC. What other advice do you guys have for some kick ass comfy but effective gear?
