    agreed, the first gear I brought was off trade me and it really was shit- my mate borrowed my pants and a button popped off and the pants split at the side because they were a little bit tight (not really tight) so I may as well have been wearing jeans as they obviously would have disentigrated had I needed them to do their job, if you can wait it's worth it, and it'll be more comfortable, safer, and probably look better too, but if your stuffed and have to then cheap is better than nothing.

    If you fit a small or extra small, then DriRider Nordic 3 for $150 is a good deal from Boyd Honda:

    They retail for $350, and DriRider is a good brand. I got one and am satisfy with it.

    If you are a big fellow, Quasimoto has a jacket for $150 in size 52:
