Scooter &/or motorbike clothing - safe and effective

[manisinghb]

Hi guys.

So I got my CBT over the weekend and now looking to buy my first scoot! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18621933

I was hoping to get some input on good/safe/quality clothing. Of course it must have all the marks of quality (ce approved etc) and of course must be weatherproof, strong armour etc. I hear textiles are better than leather. Also, on a budget of £150 for everything; helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves and boots.

I think I might be able to do it guys! All the following off Amazon with good customer reviews and relevant endorsements/creditations:


£52.98 - Richa Rain Warrior Textile Motorcycle Jacket Fluorescent

£32.99 - Shox Sniper Solid Motorcycle Helmet Matt Black

£19.99 - Richa Rain Warrior Textile Trousers

Total so far = £82.97

Just looking at gloves and boots now, found the Frank Thomas MXW010 short motorcycle ankle boots for £59.99 and Black Chrome Kevlar Leather Motorcycle Bike Gloves for £22.99. So that will stretch a tiny bit over my budget by £15.95 bringing the total thus far to £165.95. Still shopping around on the boots and gloves though but these have excellent reviews too. The helmet was actually bought on recommendation from one of the fellow trainers and trainees at my CBT course. Pretty good for a tested piece?!
