Gear Shopping List
Hi,
I haven't gotten my license yet, let alone a motorcycle. But I heard sth a while back and will always stick by it: "whatever budget you have to buy a motorcycle, first buy all the gear, then whatever is leftover is your actual motorcycle budget"
So I have a list. I am very big on safety, as safe as I can be without blowing the budget. So I'm going to try to get everything secondhand except helmet (+ it's attachments) and gloves. I'm in Toronto, Canada for anyone reading.
Please comment whatever you like; with opinions, experience, suggestions, laughs, roasts, all is welcome.
Helmet:
Shoei RF-1400
Arai Contour X
Additions to the helmet:
Comms - Cardo Packtalk Edge or Sena 50S
Pinlock insert for antifog
Earplugs - Alpine MotoSafe
Chin mount camera (insta360 X4)
Armor Jacket:
- Alpinestars Bionic Action V2 (w/ Alpinestars BNS Tech 2 Neck Support)
Airbag:
Helite Turtle 2 (possibly over armored jacket)
MAB V4 (maybe don't need armor jacket)
Pants
John Doe Pioneer Mono (AAA rated w/ hip and knee armor)
REV’IT Eclipse 2 (w/ hip + knee armor)
Gloves
- Five RFX1
Boots
Dainese Torque 4 Air
Alpinestars SMX Plus V2
Dashcam/recording
INNOVV K6 (hardwired front + rear)
Possible helmet cam: Insta360 X4 (chin mount)
For the AS BNS I'm not sure if I need that if I have the airbag vest cuz the airbag inflates to protect the neck too from what I could see.
Last but not the least. This is only research, best fit is in person after trying.
