I love these gloves. I haven’t fallen off in them yet but I just know they’re going to do the business when I do.They enjoy the catchy name of G6037. If they were called Barry, or Wayne or something we might have more chance of remembering but G6037? I don’t think so. Colin it is...

and acquitted itself very well; it’s a bit lumpy at first but soon beds in, the look is stylish and although I haven’t tested its crashing qualities, it’s properly tough.Excellent use of pockets and storage, padded mobile phone holder, use of leather in inside

The comfort of Arai’s lids in the upper range are, for me, beyond compare.I’ve spent the last two years wearing this lid, and, just my luck, I crashed the first time I wore it.Chasing a Fireblade down the Brands Hatch straight, his engine blew sending me and the RC8 I was (briefl...

I got these just for trackdays, I wanted the best protection.They have loads of armour on the knuckles and a huge plastic wrist collar, not to mention thick rubber on the palms to protect your scaphoid.While all this armour sounds good, I can’t get comfortable in them. They haven...

These have been worn non-stop since I joined the magazine nigh on a year ago and are now showing signs of the wear and tear they’ve been put through.They are extremely comfortable and not a bad-looking boot and are often worn during the day in the office without any major discomf...

As worn by current 125cc world champion and my good self, these boots really do have some pedigree in the testing stakes.The fact that we are at opposite ends of the aforementioned talent spectrum matters not, as I had my best ever performance on a track day in these boots and mu...

This Alpinestars Sphere jacket was purchased at a very reasonable £200 from J&S in New Malden last summer. In actual fact it was a bit less as they knocked 10% off due to a voucher you could print off from their website. Despite me having no idea about this at the time. What love...
