Graham: AGV X3000

This is simply the best helmet I ever owned ..and Ive had a few! Fit is like the old Bell Star 1 and its light too, its actually the shape of a head fitting over a head...not like these rockety-shape bulbous modern ones. I was going to buy an open face for the summer but the X3000 is cooler and better in hot weather than my Bell open face. If the AGV fits you dont hesitate to buy is my advice.

Clive: Brilliant Jacket

Ive had the original Coriace for a couple of years now and I love it. I dont think this updated model is much different. Ive ridden to France in 30C + temperatures and find the perforations and zip up vents manage to keep cool so long as Im moving. In winter the zip-in thermal liner works well and unless its silly cold, in which case I wouldnt be riding, a thin fleece underneath is enough to keep warm. Ive ridden for over an hour on very heavy rain and the membrane hasnt let a drop of water in, the leather doesnt bexome waterlogged whatever they treat it with is amazing nor does the sweat build up underneath. I have Scott waterproofs if I need to ride for longer in the rain or Id use a textile jacket for long commutes in winter but I prefer this tend to wear it all the time. Reading the Motolegends review youd think the laminated membrane makes for a stiff uncomfortable jacket but I find it to be anything but. It quickly breaks in to be very comfortable in warm, cold or wet weather and I have 100 confidence in the jacket. I bought a lighter weight unlined Rukka jacket at the same time and have worn it possibly twice. It has also proved its worth in a bit of an off. January before last I found some unexpected ice. Slid down the road at about 40 mph but youd struggle to find any trace of it on the jacket. Armour is perfect as far as it can be. The only criticisms I have are 1. the black weathers quite quickly to a silvery grey but in some ways I think it improves the look. Shows Ive covered some miles but without compromising the integrity of the jacket. 2. Pockets are not many or copious. The chest pocket is so well hidden Id had the jacket for weeks before I found it. I cant see.me ever needing another jacket, this one does it all and is obviously built to last.

Bob Jarrett: Held Classic Gloves

Okay - they are probably not the most protective bike gloves you can buy but they are well made, supremely comfortable in warmer weather and look very cool on a retro or cruiser type bike..
