Things worth buying, cause they work…

I’m not much of a sales man, I generally don’t trust every review I read… I REALLY like trying things on before I buy them… So its different for me to say “omg go buy this” to anyone … but this is one of those times where, yes, I can seriously say, this shit works.

Specifically this stuff saved me from some major injury and medical expense.

I present to you, the gear I was wearing when I crashed my bike.


My Head was protected by an HJC CL-SP helmet.

You can see the before and after…

The Helmet took the brunt, not my face

My upper body was protected by a Hein Gericke Urban Jacket (I had it in all black), which, unfortunately, is no longer in production…

inside left arm rub through
left elbow armor

Beneath that, I wear a Icon Armored Chest & Back Protector.
Icon Field Armor Vest This at least, didn’t take any damage, but I feel better wearing it…

On my legs, I wear MotoGP Alpine Pants. I have no idea if their affiliated with the MotoGP Racing ‘group/agency/league/people’… but thats just their name.

Before…

After…
Scratched, scuffed, but in one piece

My feet are protected by a pair of SIDI Typhoon Gore Tex Boots.

They didn’t take any real damage, which is surprising since the bike fell on my leg as it slid away from me…

The gloves took a real beating, and I don’t have any injury to show for it, so I’m a fan of these things as well…
I had a pair of Alpine Star SMX-2 Summer Gloves, in Black.

they work!

Anyway, I wanted to share what worked for me, cause, well, it worked.
I’m upright, walking, and in good shape considering what happened.

I just kinda wish that jacket was still for sale, cause I’d jump on another one right away.
