Default RE: gloves, helmets, boots, armor,

My favorite helmet is Shoei RF1000 cause it fits my head the best.

Favorite cold weather jackets and pants are Tourmaster/Cortech.

Favorite warm weather (mesh)jacket and pants are Olympia. These are my favorite anything.
Olympia also makes very good gloves.

Favorite boots used to be Cruiserworks but now I like the European brands. Have BMW but they are made by Oxtar or one of theItalian companies.

Don't have much Harley stuff because it's way too expensive and mostly black which doesnt worktoo well here in sunny Florida.

+1 for Fox Creek Leather products.

For cool weather, look into getting a Gerbing's heated vest or jacket. I have both and find the vest is the most versatile for me and easiest to stuff into a roll bag.

For gloves, my #1 favorite gloves are the HD FXRG gloves. They are well made, give great protection and are pretty warm. They also have a built in squeegee on the left index finger that is incredibly useful in the rain. Beats just wiping your wet glove across your face shield.
