In the opinion of Timberwoof of Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ:: Aerostich, Joe Rocket, Tourmaster, or FirstGear.

He notes, "Leather looks sexy and works; Cordura is functional and works; Shorts and a T-shirt are an invitation to skin grafts. Jackets can be had relatively inexpensively at pawn shops or through internet retailers. Make sure that the leather is good and thick, not the thin garment leather that most stylish leather jackets are made of."

AnswerYou will only ever get an opinion. Each and every designer will hype their product, it's business. It's more about personal choice and the motorcycling you do. My preference is textile, not just because it's waterproof and flexible, it breathes, is cool in summer warm in winter, doesn't rot and has fantastic armour built in, but also because it fits properly. I have two very different motorcycles and four jackets, The jacket with the designer label is not superior in its protection, it is on a par with the others. But it was a special gift and is only worn on special occasions. Answer:Depending on your own feelings if you decided to use leather or textiles.. I personally like leather but it can be a bit warm in the summer... So I use textiles during these months... with built in armour... My suggestion to all riders is to not just buy one coat.. Talk to your local dealers and buy what feels comfortable on you and as the seller his personal perferences. Don't buy the most expensive but don't buy the cheapest either. Their is always a happy medium...

Answer:

I agree Aerostitch makes some terrific textile gear, I've used Joe Rocket stuff in the past and over time it doesn't pass my durability expectations. My wife's Tourmaster gear (textile) is great for year round riding. If leather is what you are looking for I can't recommend Fox Creak Leather enough, just read over their testimonials on the site and if you go that route you'll be a customer for life! All their jackets have a lifetime guarantee, how many other manufactures can say that?

In the opinion of Timberwoof of Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: Held makes the best gloves. He notes, "Protect your hands. Motorcycle-specific gloves are recommended. Good ones have padding on the back and padded rivets on the palm." I've found that gloves with gel padding in the palms, actually, more like right where your finger connects with your palm, are the most comfortable, since it absorbs the vibrations of the bike.

In the opinion of Todd Robinson of Cal-Sportbike and TrackXperience riding schools;

The sport riders we deal with tend to favor the "racing" gloves by manufacturers like Held, Alpinestars, Spidi, Kushitani, and RS-Taichi. Also in the acceptable range is AGV, Joe Rocket, and Teknic. We suggest full leather gauntlet gloves that overlap the sleeve, with double cuff closure, kevlar reinforced seams, etc. And yes, Held still seems to hold the top spot for gloves from racers to everyday riders, although the gloves listed in that first list are all very comparable.

Shoei and Arai are often considered to be some of the best. The best measure though is to see if the helmet is both DOT and SNELL certified.
