New riding kit, what have you bought lately and why?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Bought a pair of these



To use to ride the bike to work and as we're dressing down for the lock down, I can wear them in the office, also be handy if I need to go out to some plant as I won't have to change shoes like I do now (I think I've been up a crane once in the last 12 months, used to be at least once a week)
Also be handy if anyone annoys me as I can kick them in the nuts extra hard.

Got these at last years bike show, not had a chance to give them a ride out yet.

And now I have
They're nice and comfy, very stiff so need a bit of breaking in.

I also need to learn how to stand and walk again I've always worn boots, hiking boots, walking boots, work boots, cowboy boots but always boots and always with a heel of some kind.
These A* jobbies are totally flat, I nearly fell backwards within seconds of putting them on and standing up, just totally throws out my usual balance.

I've got some cycling shoes with very flat soles (apparently skate boarders use them as well) and they're weird to walk in.

[Supermofo]

I've worn skate trainers for years to work and on weekends and so I'm used to the flat sole, the TCX is the same. I did notice it though as I'm used to bike boots on the bike.

Y'know it won't actually look like that when you try it on right?

Not very recently but the last thing I’ve bought - summer gloves.
Watched one of the Fortnite videos on YouTube where these were discussed and decided to try as they’re pretty cheap.

Very comfy and, well, the whole glove is basically a leather sieve with protection bits so ventilation is top notch.

It's about time you learnt to walk without high heels

Fits well and happy with it.

Job done, body armour ticked off the list

[formula400]

Got these today, I had an older pair and they were amazing, they got damaged so got some new ones

[ajlog]

Had these delivered earlier in the month, they feel very similar to my Vans hi-tops, so hopefully will bridge that gap between protection and general use.


Then just ordered these, as a new pair of summer gloves.


I just hope there is a chance to use these this summer.

This. Bought pre lockdown in the hope it will get warm!

Haven't even got a bike yet (well technicallly Ihave but won't be picking it up any time soon) but I did buy my first bike thing - a very Marmite Belstaff jacket which I hope will stink like my old one did. 240eur off full price - should've passed it up, don't need one, but you know how it goes.

[Dodgy69]

Had my first ride in these Wednesday and very happy. Soft and comfy. Easy gear changes. Didn't do a great deal of walking but so far so good.

As mentioned in the other place, I recently got another open face Davida Ninety 2. Love Davida quality and I’m sure it’s quieter than any f/f Arai I’ve ever had

1. Another place? Wash your mouth out
2. I like that!!!

LOL I thought of you last night when speaking to my Manc cousin. I asked him how he was faring in the lock down; he said he’d been off work so long he was starting to develop a scouse accent
