Nah -- I'm only projecting based on my usual buying patterns for said protective gear.

The absolute best I've bought is my current boots Hein Gerricke Touareg which are still going strong after 100000 miles. Current equivalent is http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/boots-...r-stiefel.html

After that comes :-
Triumph Tiger motorcycles.
Garmin GPS.
Army surplus Goretex over trousers.

Thanks for sharing all your posts. There are some fun toys out there. When shopping for a drill press I scored a hiring bonus from work. The extra money helped me put this in the shop:



Here is a better (stock) photo of the thing

I'm sure its been posted before, but I bought the warm & safe WP jacket and a set of w&s heated gloves with the remote this year and it has totally transformed riding for me.

I have been riding about 15 yrs, on all kinds of bikes, and have suffered through the winters either freezing my ass off, or wearing so much bulk that it was a pain in the ass.

I wish I would have wised up, and got the heated gear 15 yrs ago! It's expensive, but worth every penny IMHO

+1 on Gericke. I bought a Touareg jacket & pants from NewEnough Leathers 12+ years ago & still going strong & looking good. They are too warm for summer use so they are only worn for winter riding, so they get fewer miles than other gear. So far they look like they will still look good & perform well, long after I'm gone.
