Full face helmets

A very nice helmet indeed, in my experience earplugs are a must to counteract wind noise but when it is on it is a nice light helmet that always gets a lot of attention.Price wise it is right on the money for this specification of helmet from a well reputed manufacturer and really the only marks dropped on this review are from the ventilation side which didnt seem to work to well for me - your experience may vary though as I have been told by a few other users that they have no such problem. |

Summer gloves

A truly stunning looking glove with more than ample protection and at a reasonable price to boot. The research and development from their long racing history is apparent in the placement of things like the carbon finger sliders and wrist closure system. The only real complaint I can make is with the final finishing of a few small areas on the gloves which is something I have seen on other pairs, that said it is only really superficial and as such does not detract from the overall quality feel of the glove which is comfortable and gives a confidence in its ability should the worst happen. There is ventilation built in to the glove which perhaps works a little but I felt that a little more thought would have made this a fantastic glove, if it had the same TPU knuckle as the more expensive models it would be a knockout! |

These really are race boots for the street, superbly styled and packed with safety techno gizmos and gadgets the Vertigo is a sure fire winner for anyone looking for quality and race pedigree. Although those of use with wider feet may find issue in warmer temperatures they were very comfortable to walk and ride in and they felt very well made. For £165 they are easily worth their money and its no wonder they have sold in their thousands. |

For times when the going gets hot the Octane glove is a lifesaver, no more sticky, sweaty hands and that uncomfortable feeling that comes with it.ventilation is superb all round and the overall construction quality is excellent. I love these gloves so much that I have continued to wear them throughout winter and despite the cold temperatures and biting cold rain the gloves have kept my hands at a reasonable temperature. oddly the venting in the material does not seem to be a hindrance in the cold. For the track these would not be first choice in terms of safety but for general riding I challenge you to find a more comfortable glove. |

To really spell out my final conclusion on these boots, they have remained my favourite and most worn bike boots for over 15 months and they are still like new, still fresh inside and still waterproof. Not only are they the most comfortable boots I own but my feet do not get claustrophobic while wearing them, in short these are perhaps the perfect set of boots for those of you not looking for a full race styled boot. The only gripe I have had in the entire time is that the velcro fastening over the zip on the left boot became frayed recently, it still closes but not with as much grip, nevertheless the storm flap on the inside makes sure that the water stays out and that is good enough for me - especially in the wet and cold climate that appears to have been 2007 and the start to 2008. |

2 Piece leathers

The Rift leathers are clearly a good choice for those people looking out for a mid-range set and while the price is kept low, the spec is actually not too bad. In terms of durability they are not the best wearing leathers I have tried and apart from the waist clasp they did tend to start looking old faster than I expected, that said they remained in one piece and comfortable for quite a while and any buyer wanting to get a seasons wear out of their leathers - and not spend a huge amount - should have no real issue with these. |

While you are able to find low cost leathers around the internet, very few look this good and for a set that is not only well built and capable of dealing with a crash scenario it has all the features you might want from a mid-priced set let alone one that is this easy on the budget. The range of colours and styles is comprehensive and they are available in both 1 and 2 piece configurations, the 2 piece zips together with a full zip and the 1 piece comes with an optional speed hump if required - it certainly seems that the bases are well and truly covered here. The only marks dropped in this test are for styling, while styling is subjective I would have liked to see a few more 'bling' items on the suit - that said for that price what more do you need? |

If you are looking for a top end helmet and the Shoei fits your head shape you will not really find much to complain about with this lid, it comes fitted with the standard Shoei reputation and boastability factor that comes from years of high quality and countless unit sales worldwide.Ventilation seems to very good as does road noise, the build is good and other than the visor screw going missing (which lets face it could be an isolated fault) I had no cause to complain. Price wise, I think this is priced correctly for the specification and also the company reputation - if you want the best you pay a little more than the rest which certainly seems to be the case here, compared to other comparable manufacturers models is is a little more expensive though so I have to give it one less point in value for money. |

Touring boots

The Aqua Boot is a snip at only £49.99 which I am sure will appeal to a great number of newer riders or those with less expendable income, its claim to be 100% waterproof is in fact - well - fact although perhaps too waterproof for the breathable layer to do its job. This made for an uncomfortable boot from early on and coupled with the bad sizing, I was never really reassured that they would be any good when it mattered, I guess adding an extra layer of socks would bring the ankle and width fit about right but I cannot even begin to think of the foot temperatures involved. |

It is hard to fault these leathers from Hein Gericke, they ooze quality in both the design and feel and are massively comfortable - partly because someone at HG has taken notice of womens sizing and made these appropriately shaped. It offers a pretty much standard level of protection that anyone would look for in their leathers and although I have never crashed in these I have no doubt that they would deal with it all quite well. |
