Does your gear match as in same brand?
 
Just wandering if when you buy say a Joe Rocket Jacket do you also have Joe Rocket gloves? Is it a sin in your book to have on a A-star jacket but Icon gloves?

I bought everything at the same time from the same place, so it's all the same brand. As I get more gear it'll eventually become mix matched. What I can't stand is having different designs clashing, but brand names don't bother me. I'll wear anything as long as it'll protect me.

Nope, not even close.

zed 03-29-2009 11:37 PM

I don't think I have two pieces of gear from the same manufacturer.

Mrs. Colleen 03-29-2009 11:40 PM

Neck down...all Alpinestars
Helmet...Scorpion

Cutty72 03-29-2009 11:43 PM

My boots, both pairs of leather pants, and my jacket are teknic, my gloves Icon, and I've to Scorpion EXO series helmets, a 400 and 700 respectively.

derf 03-30-2009 01:41 AM

all my gear is different. It all looks like it could match but for the most part it is whatever fits, looks decent, and is cheap.

Dave 03-30-2009 01:51 AM

I do! But only because I got talked into some girly gloves that went with my leather jacket. :lol:

And for the record, most of my gear is black, my helmet's red. But when I get the Icon jacket from Tigger at the rally, nothing is going to match! :rofl:

bmblebee 03-30-2009 07:33 AM

I buy the gear that fits the best, so it will perform its job. Since manufacturers size their garments differently, I have to buy different brand items for the fit...I just try to get them to match the color as close as I can

Amber Lamps 03-30-2009 08:06 AM

Oh I'm a set guy for sure!!!

Oh hell no. I have a lot of Joe Rocket stuff, but not all. I buy what I like and what fits me well. Fit is hugely important in gear being able to do it's job in the event of a crash/slide, so I'm not going to buy stuff just cus it matches; I'm going to buy what fits the best.

I've got jackets by Joe Rocket, Power Trip and Cortech. I've got gloves by Joe Rocket and Alpinestars. I've got boots by Teknic and Axo. And my helmet is Arai.

Rider 03-30-2009 08:19 AM

No, gloves, boots, jacket, helmet and pants were all different brands.
