Survey on riding gear choice and rationale from you Galeana Gurus.
I'd trying to decide between motocross/enduro clothing and ADV clothing or mix/match. I'm riding the KTM 500 EXC. I do NOT have a windscreen on my KTM because my GPS mount interferes with a screen plus my handlebars are full of stuff. I have a full complement of MC clothing to choose from (ask my wife), so it's not a matter of buying anything.
- ADV or dirt helmet? ADV has better wind/rain protection and better visibility in traffic vs goggles; dirt = much better ventilation, and can wear glasses vs goggles for better visibility in traffic provided weather is good.
- If motocross/enduro chest protector, hard or soft armor?
- If motocross, jacket and pants: Ventilated with a separate rain/wind shell, or non-ventilated? Colder mornings vs working hard up on the pegs in the sun in the afternoon?
- Motocross or ADV boots?
Mix and matching? ADV jacket and pant with moto armor and knee braces? Or what? Why?
Thanks, Trekers!
