I couldnt seem to find a thread on this soooo...

What kind of gear is everybody rockin' at the track?

Im slowly gathering funds for leathers, boots, and gloves. Have a few months yet though.

Having some difficulties determining what is actually worth buying so lets see what you got!

I'm shopping around as well, and thinking real hard about Spartan Leathers - Premium Custom Motorcycle Leathers, Jackets, Gloves, and more!

I'm super broke with an addiction so price is a biggy right now.

Everyone tells me to stick with the big brands....but I owned a Buell recently if you catch my drift...

A few people I know are raving about Held products as well.

Im a big fan of alpinestars as ive owned TONS of their products. Yet i cant justify spending 1K ish for leathers only. Ive been looking basically all winter. Still stumped on whats hot and whats not. Yet i do understand you get what you pay for.

Im pretty broke too. But not broke enough that i refuse to feed my addiction.

Sweet, thanks! I am definitely going to upgrade. My Bilt gloves are crappy as all hell. The seams are already falling apart.

Locked and loaded! Couldn't be more excited for track days!
