Adventure gear - what are you wearing?

[MarkH]

I bought a pair of these off Amazon last year and they have been awesome

Interesting . . .

It's amazing how much dearer revzilla is than fc-moto. Revzilla is US$280 and then you add shipping. FC-Moto is ~NZ$250 including shipping to NZ. That's quite a big difference.

Just used that as example of boot version. Got mine much cheaper too through powersports superstore. Prices always changing at these places

Have used the Leatt compression armour a few times on my trials bike. Fit is excellent, makes you feel a bit like iron man. Breathes really well and VERY light weight. As far as compression suits go its easy to get on and off. Works well with the Klim Traverse jacket. Highly recommend both them.

I've got some Leatt armour that I use that's O.K. apart from that I feel it doesn't give me any lower back protection.(or not enough for my liking)
I also use a really nice Boehm road race chest & back protector which covers my back & chest nicely, but does nothing for my shoulders & arms.
So I'm thinking a compression suit will be the shizz.
Prices vary amazingly, but no doubt you get what you pay for...
And I'm pain adverse, so I luvs amour.

I have an Axo suit and I find the back bit too long sometimes. Might be good for you (It's more because my pants always work their way lower and it pops out.) Haven't had an off more than a light tumble in it yet though so can't give any judgement for protection.

I have a new Shoei Hornet DS size XL that's never been taken out of the box.



I'm gonna put it on TM shortly, but if one of you guys want it - $400

Well I do have to have a long backed backpack for tramping as I obviously have a long back...couple that with short legs & knuckles I drag along the ground, I'm kind of hard to fit...

Yeah, one of my mates said the same thing within earshot of the missus.
She said, "...don't tell me, I had his children!"

If the membrane damage isn't too wide spread, Aquaseal can be a viable and effective solution. I always carry a tube in my kit as it is magic and fixes anything from shoes, tents, clothing, drybags you name it. All my drybags have little aquaseal dots on the holes from rubbing over time to keep them waterproof.

RemoteMoto Info here: Info on Aquaseal

You can buy it from here: Buy Aquaseal

It is the recommended repair product for most Gortex garment repairs like jackets, waders, packs even airhawk seat cushions. It sets in a flexible form so is very user-friendly.

Otherwise, it may be flash shiny new gear time

I need to get the hole in my new gortex pants fixed , might get some of that stuff a go. Raymond, Jet Leathers might be worth a call, they might do repair work or sell ya a bikie jacket?

That stuff is pretty good, it's currently keeping the air in my Airhawk pillow on the WR after the valve stem got a leak around its base.
