I think it's time for a "Show you gear"-topic.  I find it interesting to see what gear you guys wear on your nighthawk's. This is me: -Helmet: Open face: Project Cafe Hardcore  Closed face: I have a closed helmet, its the cheapest I could find. Some $60,- cheap ass thing. Will buy a quality helmet soon. -Glasses: Bikereyes® MOAB 4 yellow with anti-fog glasses  -Gloves: IXS (no pic) -Jacket: Difi Milton AX Textile  -Pants: Difi (textile) MQP Fang  -Boots: Alpinestars Web GTX  -Total:

 Actually, it's usually the midweight Lee Parks gloves if temps are below 60. And a cheapo fleece pullover.

These days, fluorising clothes are very popular in the Netherlands:  They add a lot to being seen by other commuters.

Helmet, jacket, and gloves shown. If going to work, business casual pants and shoes. If riding for pleasure, jeans and casual shoes.

For now, I am using the Icon Super Duty 2 boots. I am planning on buying the newest version this winter.  AFX FX-100 FF helmet with custom striping.   I have 2 riding jackets. This is the Joe Rocket CBR series...  This is my Technic jacket which I wear most of the time.  I don't have any pics of the gloves I use but, they are made by Shift for warm weather riding. I still need to get some warmer gloves for the winter and, I still need to get some riding pants.

JB1290, I've had my Super Duty 2's for a couple of seasons now. I've been pretty happy with them, wish I could've found the black ones tho!  That pinstriping looks good, I've thought about having my helmet done.

I knew I should have bought 2 pairs when everybody had them on closeout.  The only thing wrong with mine is, the soles are almost gone on them since I wear them pretty much every day.

I really like the looks of those Icon boots. They're the first MC boots I've seen that didn't look like they belong on a factory floor or a combat line.

Closed face: I have a closed helmet, its the cheapest I could find. Some $60,- cheap ass thing. Will buy a quality helmet soon. The cheapest FF helmet is far superior to the best most expensive top end open face helmet when the Earth suckerpunches you in the face then starts with the 4-grit belt sander.

+1 to that... in fact, I would be willing to bet that your helmet is just as safe as any other full face out there. The more expensive ones usually cost more because of accessories and brand names.
