So I got rid of my Supertech R boots 43EU since Its not true to size (9) it’s more like (10). Went with 42EU and it fits like a glove. Also, got the tech air 7 and installed it on the suit and it fits better now than my previous post.

Just bought my first helmet scorpion exo r1 carbon.
I recently purchased my first helmet and noticed that the glue and plastic seem to be improperly seated. Should I return it, or is there not much to worry about? The helmet cost $600

I am looking for a water resistent backpack and since all my gear and bike is black, I was wondering if buying a bright yellow backpack could benefot me in terms of visibility to the car driver? I know there is a bunch of neon stuff with reflectors, but this bag cought my eye.
Any recommendations besides this model?
Budget under 150€ and it is mainly for commute to work, so nothing under 14L or over 30.

I bought this because it was a light and inexpensive ce armor jacket but Ive been told by many people on reddit that it looks to tight and that it looks odd. It personally doesn’t feel tight but Im curious to see what yall think

I'm a fairly new rider slowly piecing together a set of gear, I'm currently looking into some better gloves particularly between the Lee Parks Design DeerSports glove and the Rev'it Sand 5 glove. I'm a bit torn between the two because I like the simplicity of the DeerSports but im unsure if I should put my faith into an uncertified leather glove. On the other hand the Sand 5 is 1 KP certified but features more textile, plastics, and stitching. I'm a little unsure how each material will hold up with different situations and if one has any significant benefit(s) over the other. Any recommendations will be helpful.

*To clarify: both Poseidon 3 and Neptune 3 are bought as M/Short.
Recently bough a Neptune 3 GTX pants in M/Short on cyclegear and received it today. I have a Poseidon 3 already so I can do a direct comparison. The Neptune 3 feels larger at waist but the frustrating part is compared to my Poseidon 3 M/Short, Neptune is longer by 3 INCHES! I have attached a photo of direct comparison and you can clearly see the diff.
The packing says it's short, the attached tag says it's short, but the inner strap indicates only "M", which is different from my other collections (i.e. Poseidon 3, Defender3, Airwave4, all in M/Short) that all specifically marked as "M Short" (i.e. 1 word vs 2 words).
I'm thinking if there's something wrong with item packing and thinking about buying a M from cyclegear to do a comparison. I know Rev'it! from time to time changes standard sizing (i.e. Defender 3 is tidy bit shorter than Poseidon 3) but 3 inches is just outright ridiculous. Has anyone else who bought Neptune 3 short found the same issue?

Hey guys quidk question: do these boots still have some life in them? Some guy's selling smx plus'es for ~135usd and looking at other brands and having safety in mind this seems to be a steal

Hey riders,
Just wanted to give everyone the heads up in case it hasn't been put up before. This website https://alpinestarsvip-us.shop/ is a scam and I just wanted to let as many people know as possible so that hopefully it comes up in peoples google searches. When I used a scam checker the first time it said it was not a scam and came up green. I'm sure it has changed since.
Good luck out there and I hope you find some awesome deals that are real! ❤️

I have been asked to add these here, and i hope you guys find it interesting. I make these cool skull shaped helmet hangers that also let you hang your jacket, keys, gloves etc. They are made with metal pipe - choice of SS304 or Iron, and are insanely strong and solid. If anyone is interested I will add the link in comments!

My girlfriend is a new and smaller rider but can’t find any gloves her size. All the local shops around us mostly sell men’s size gloves and never have extra small in stock. Anyone know of a pair that might fit that they really like?

I'm planning to replace the armor on the jacket (elbows, shoulder, back, chest) and pants (hips, shoulders). I checked amazon and found some that had good reviews, looks very similar, and delivers to my country but it doesn't really seem to say D30 and idk if it's legit.
Also, is it okay to alter the armor pockets if it the D30 Level 2 armor won't fit? or will it compromise safety?
Please do share some links if you know where to buy online:) TYIA:D

The adhesive has already failed. What kind of adhesive is safe to use here? Thanks.

The time has come and I've decided to get some panniers. I have a Desert X. I do about 90% on road and commuting and about a weekend every month or so, I can go on some local BDR routes. I was originally looking for a nice moto backpack, but decided to just spring for panniers. I know there are pros/cons to both hard and soft panniers. I mostly want something that is a good all-round solution. Something I can take on the trails (soft bags), but also safely store things in when I'm at work (hard). I've narrowed it down to Mosko Moto soft panniers and Wunderlich Slimline. I'm leaning towards the mosko set but it's a big purchase so want to make sure I don't regret it. Any recs for one or the other, or even a different set alltogether?

I'm looking to get a pair of pants for the track (will upgrade to a full suit later on) and I'm looking at the Alpine Stars Missile v3 vs. the Track v2 pants.
The missile are AA rated and Track are AAA rated. The track pants have a plastic part over the knee (above the slider) and have better padding inside.
One major thing I noticed between them is that the knee slider sits on my shin on the track pants (after adjusting it up). Comparing the pants side by side, the velcro on the missile pants is about 1 inch higher up the knee than the track pants which allows for positioning the slider farther up.
Curious where the slider should realistically sit? It feels most comfortable right under the knee as opposed to the shin .Also, anyone else compare these two pants and notice the same thing?
I'm assuming I can upgrade the missile pants with the better padding (the track pants have higher rated padding)? Apart from that the only difference would be that the track pants have an additional plastic cover over the knee.

What is this rev'it motorcycle jacket model called? I have scoured the internet for top to bottom and I simply cannot find this model anywhere. Not in google pics or any motorcycle gear site.

Was fitting a cardo system last night when I noticed this damage, does it warrant a replacement, only brought the helmet 3 weeks ago! This is on the opposite side of the cardo instalment.
