new kit

[stuman]

ok guys, so I've got my DAS booked after passing my theory test today.

so I've got 1 week to get some kit together, the school says i will NEED gloves and boots of my own.

for all the kit i have a budget of about £700 but that is for everything i will need.

are there any really good review sites out there? or any recommendations for places to shop online?

i will be buying my lid for hein gerike as i can at least try it on before i buy it!!

will hein gerike do me a discount if i buy all my kit from them? or any sneaky ways to get discount if I'm spending £700ish?

ended up with HJC FG15 in white and silver. decided against the black as i promised myself i wouldn't be a ninja.

alpine stars gloves and boots and got talked into an RST leather jacket which is a touch on the large size but still quite nice.

all in at just under £600. leaves me £100-ish for some kevlar jeans. can anybody recommend a brand at all?

yeah, they had a few in the shop, all fat ******* sizes tho. there was nothing under 40" waist! can the sartso ones take knee and hip armour?
