My Firstgear jacket/pants and Olympia gloves. I can ride in very cold weather (20F, snowing) and warmer weather (up to about 75ish) by just adding a sweatshirt, or popping out the liner and opening the vents. Also have no problems with leaks or soak-through in rain, even riding for long periods of time.

I love all my riding gear. It took a long time to find the stuff that I like because I'm so picky. So here's mine.
Shoei = graphics rock, styling and fit are tops, imo
Joe Rocket = I like their ladies gear line, their stuff fits me nicely. Warm in the winter/cool riding days and cool on the hot riding days. Really versatile jacket. My jacket style is RocketGirl.
Olympia gloves = I like the protection and fit.
Nitro Racing Boots = 50% sport tour boot and 50% roadrace boot

Alpinestars for gear (my s.o. gets killer discounts on this brand) and Acai helmet (getting a new one soon) but for now..the helmet I currently own, just a basic Hjc. I couldnt ride w/o a helmet.:russian_roulette:

Its a little old school but I like it. Got it for cheap on Ebay. Some kid bought a bike and all the gear. Rode once, got scared and sold everything. Works for me.

Wow that was lucky. I almost got a 1/2 price deal on just he Yamaha leather jacket last year at VIR. They didn't have the red and white in my size just the blue & white. My bike and everything is red. I was disappointed.:(

I love my ICON Mainframe helemt..with it's big ol monster face on it. Even more now that my hubby and daughter bougt me the Electric Lime Green mohawk to put on it...It really kicks butt!!! I know, it's so girly!!!
I also like my Icon Leather jacket, but wish I had a textile one for the summer time.
My other piece of Gear I LOVE are my boots...yes, they're cowboy boots....Justin...George Strait series...They are sooooooo comfortable and feel like I am walking on air...I practically live in them!!!

My absolute favorite gear is my Tiger Angel leathers. They are Australian custom leathers, and I got mine for a steal from an Australian gal on e-bay. It was a big gamble with the fit, so I was ecstatic to find they fit like they were made for me! I pretty much wear them in all but the hottest weather, and except when I'm riding the dual sports. As for my favorite brand overall, it would be Teknic- they fit me well and quality is good.
