I am planning on starting to race this upcoming season and I am kind of confused on what to look for when it comes to buying mx clothing and gear.
I went to the local atv store and tries on a couple pairs of pants. It seemed like the cheaper ($80-$100) pants didnt have much padding or anything in them. But when you got up to the ($120-$130) range, they started to get a little more padding in the pants. Is it worth the extra money to buy the ones with padding or is it a waste?
The boots that I tried on didnt seem to nice either. And they cost around $140. Do I have to pay alot of money for boots to get a decent pair or is there something that you guys recommend?
Im not looking to go broke buying the clothing that I need to race, But I want to be protected too. I would prefer buying a pair of boots, pants, and riding gloves and thats it. Then just wearing a hooded sweatshirt or t-shirt.
Is there any web sites that have decent used boots or anything?
thanks
