What is everyone's opinion for the best racing gear? Leathers, boots, gloves, ect... Ive been interested in Alpinestars and Joe Rocket. Any others?

Most brands are designed to do their job wel.... When it comes to it, fitment count the most, then your brand choise.

The more expensive ones will offer a little better protection and more confort.

I like Shoei x-11 helmets over the Arai helmets... But KBC are may not the best but they do their job well.

I has Sidi Vertebra boots, Now I have Alpinestars SMX. I like Alpinestars fitment But they get hot!

As for leathers I use the good value Frank Thomas 1 piece leathers... For $449.99 is a good suit. I whish it had more perforated leather sections.

For gloves I use Alpinestars. I like them a lot.
