‘It’s smart but I only wear it on the bike’
1. Furygan Serpico jacket £159.99
“It’s smart, showerproof and protective. It’s got armour at the elbows, forearms and shoulders, plus I put a D30 back insert in there too. Although it’s styled like a casual jacket, I’d never wear it when I’m not riding.”
2. PT Jeans £40
“These were bought quite cheaply from eBay. They’re fully Kevlar lined so feel reasonably protective and came with knee and hip armour as standard – but I’ve upgraded that to some D30 which feels much more comfortable.”
3. Viper F656 helmet £85
“I saw this discounted online for £85. The only downside is that the visor doesn’t seal so it gets draughty on long journeys.”
4. Racer Field leather gloves £29.99
“I just love how these gloves feel. They’re so comfortable and I get great contact with the controls.”
5. TCX X-Blend WP boots £164.99
“Again I wanted something that looked a bit retro. They’ve got protection around the ankle and toes, and they’re waterproof too.”
