    i have had fox gear all my life i like it the best. buy anything its good but i rec fox or thor. don't buy fox boots what ever u do u will be sry like i am they are junk. for the best buy alpinestars tech 6 or 8.

    Jersey- buy a vented on ur much cooler.

    pants- any set will do.

    Boots- make sure they have replacable straps not like fox where now i am missing 3 and can't fix them.

    chestprotector- don't buy one thats bulky and u cant move freely in.

    kidney belt- is not a must but i have a fox black bet it keeps my posture up right and i don't get lazy.

    gloves- buy the best ones of the brand they last alot longer.

    Knee guards- are not a must but i like havin them there it don't even bother me.

    Helmet- don't buy sometin wit a open face or bolted on face its will bust off and kiss ur pretty face good bye. buy ur helmet dot and snell approved. keep ur helmet light and don't buy it a size big thinking u will grow into it it will snapp ur neck quicker then u think if ur helmets loose. i like a light helmet thats y i have a 99 fox pilot black its lasted well and saved me many of times. it 299 and i say well worth the money i spent on it.

    hope this helps u out some

    i would go with thor, i have thor phase 2.0 pants, shirt, gloves, and the T-20 boots, scott goggles, and a lazer helmet... anyways, the thor pants are comfortable!! and so are the boots. now thor has this new phase 3.0, i have tried on the gloves and they are the most comfy gloves i have ever tried on..... but my 2.0 gloves are great too. i am fixing to get a thor aftershock, minishock, or scattershield chest protector, all of them are vented, but i dont know which im gonna get..... hmmmm but i am definitely a thor guy....

    Why bother wearing a chest protector with a T-shirt & shorts???
