I have a pair of the SMX shorties, and I love them, but I can't find them now that I moved into the new place. I went out and bought a pair of "Five" shorties from CG (it's a house brand) and I was plesantly surprised by them. Did over a hundred miles in them today and they were really comfortable.

I like those gloves, and the Cortech Vice. Little longer than a normal short cuff, but without the hassle and fiddling of a gauntlet.

Nice find. I have the A* SMX 2 air carbons. Love 'em, they've lasted 2 years now and are still going. Should make this season before they have to go. OSP crash tested a pair too, and they held up well.

Let us know how you like the Octanes. I was looking at either those, the 3/4's or the GP-X's.

The carbons were the other ones I was looking at. Im hoping to have the bike back out next week or the following week and the new tires put on right after that, so once that happens Ill definitely let you know how they are. The GPX is basically a short cuff version of the gp plus, and thats definitely a good thing since I like the plus' that I have already.

I've had a pair of Power Trip Grand Nationals since I started riding. They've held up really well, and are very comfortable. I don't think my new GP Plus will get much use- but I'll keep them for trackdays. They just don't feel good enough to ride all day.

I have a pair of Alpinestars Octane S-Moto Gloves that are all leather, perferated and armored. They took a little to break in but are super comfortable now and good protection other than your wrists. Perfs are good in hot weather too.
