Finally Geared up

thatguyx · 03-13-2007, 08:23 PM

Well I finally have all the basics. It's not all perfect tho. The boots are a bit loose. The gloves still need breaking in. The jacket makes me look bulbous (read:fat), but what the hell... I'm ready to really get into it. Here are pics sans my fat ass wearing them.

total cost $950. Damn it took a while to get it all together, but it's all about safety. Now I just need to lose some weight and have bigger calves and I'm set lol.

Nice choice. Now you just need to post a dance video on you tube to christen the gear.

you shouldn't have to break the gloves in... hmmm.. all my a* gear has been ready to go off the bat - what's up with the gloves?

the gloves still feel a bit tight around the thumbs. maybe i just need to get used to them. they do take about a minute to put on. so hopefully after some time they wont annoy me.

I had a pair of A* gloves that I got in small...I wore them out once and decided they were too tight and probably weren't going to stretch much.

And how'd all that only cost $960....can you break down the cost?

helmet 160ish from the dealer, boots 220 shipped, gloves 85 shipped, suit 475 shipped... hmm the total is now $940.
