What Hitcher said is: Buy leathers If you can afford it. Best protection all round. Better yet, get Quasimoto gear. I have a jacket and I feel much more bloody safe in it than a Cordura. He also makes really good gloves too.

Mohsins are cheap. M2R get some good reviews. I have a Dririder Dri Mesh and it's very good so far.

For Pants, get something with Knox knee pads or hard ones, they are debateable CE approved is better than Draggins jeans or you can wear Draggins with Knox Inserts, which is quite costly if you're budgeting. One of my friend went down slow speed on her draggins and have lost her kneecap. Just don't wear them on highway. Leather is your best option.

Captain_andrey just had an off recently on his draggins and it doesn't look good at all.

Oh and weat boots too
