chest protector
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-M...UpQudA&vxp=mtr
I just picked this up for $30. I know it is not $600 Dainese motorcycle armor but it beats an AC/DC t-shirt ( for protection, not coolness) There were only 6 left so if they have your size better snap one up. Now my search for gloves with serious palm protection. |

I bought this a few months back. Knockoff of the very popular Fox Titan armor. They run small. Mine came in with a busted zipper. I contacted the seller and they refunded my money and I got to keep the armor. Marzhere who is handy with a sewing machine put a new zipper in. So for the cost of a replacement zipper, I have fairly decent dirt riding armor.

Ebay is my playground. I didn't buy those. I bought some with hidden knuckle protection. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360932898959...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I jumped on the gloves that Pistolclass posted because they are available in 2XL. It's tough to find gloves to fit when you have big mitts.

yeah I'm cursed with Goliath hands and got the 2XL's also. Living in a cold climate where gloves are mandatory on some days it is hard to find gloves that fit.
2XL's should do the trick, A couple of guys I work/ed with are 6' 5 and 6'7", the "shorter" one weighs about 300 and the "taller" one weighed 450 pounds (he died at 44 years old), needless to say that always had trouble finding gloves that fit. I'm petite when standing next to them at only 6' and 200 pounds. |

Nice helmet, cheap at $88 LS2 MX453
I bought this helmet a while back and have put 2500 miles on it. I wear a 7 1/4 hat size and bought a medium in hi-viz yellow. As most reviews state the cheek pads are initially quite tight but will break in quickly, then you have a very snug properly fitted helmet. The peak does not catch wind or buffet and the lining is very comfortable. I have a Fox V3 for more off road riding and the LS2 is much, much better at higher road speeds. The V3 peak catches the wind and causes neck fatigue. At $88 bucks on sale I think this is a great deal. The sale ends in a day or so according to the site. I have had very good luck with purchases from Motorcyclecloseouts.com
