Hi,

I want to get equipped with full gear protection.
That means from head to toes, even not using a motorcycle helmet anymore.

so:
car-helmet
neck protection
suit
gloves + shoes

anything missing ?
any links, companies I should look (or avoid) for ?

Thanks,

Mitch is right....find someone local to try the stuff on...you would BE AMAZED how different they all fit....for example, I CANNOT fit ANY Bell helment on my fat head....period!

Mitch is also correct about what you get for in a suit...I am currently using a 10 year old "cheapy" that is BLACK and is thicker than a coat one would use in the Antarctic regions....and I typically race in 100 degree weather!

After trying all the stuff on, go shopping for what you like. I typically use locals as much as possible: Wine Country Motorsports, Bell Motorsports, etc. but have used RacerWholesale and Pegasus as well.....
