https://amzn.to/40DzUXx These are the boots i have. https://amzn.to/3QUNNgY I had my first crash at the age of 18. My helmet saved my life. I split the helmet. A heavy jacket and jeans saved me from road rash. My hands not so well. That's why it's important to wear Gloves. Your hands will be the first thing that will hit the ground. You don't need high dollar equipment. Any protection is better than none.

Thanks for the link. I just purchased my wife these boots for our anniversary! Seems she was just looking at them yesterday.

She'll like them. The side zipper makes them easy to put on and take off.

I think the Alpha branded gear on Amazon and the Hawk branded gear is much like our motorcycles in that they are very similar, but not exactly the same and comparable in most of not all other aspects.
JerryHawk250, does the tag on your Hawk jacket have a US flag printed on it? Mine does, and it also says made in Pakistan on the reverse side... Lol

I had to return my 1st Alpha jacket. Some the stitching was bad and fabric panels were separating from the jacket, but the materials for price still impressed me so I exchanged for another and the 2nd one is good. You'd be hard pressed to find a wind breaker for the same price as these jackets.

I noticed the pants have a zipper on the outside rear. Does that hook up with the jacket? If so, I may have to grab that jacket. The pants are great.

You're right it is HWK, not Hawk.

The pants and jacket should zip together. My Alpha jacket has that too.

Yes, I always wear boots or shoe with steel toes.

I normally ride with some steel toes, but I have some O'Neal Rider boots for more technical terrain. I have 3 HWK jackets. I should wear better pants, but I usually just wear jeans or HWK cordura pants.
I've put a bike down in a lot of different ways over the years and I've been lucky, only a broken coccyx bone.
