Default Badass Full Body Armor for Motorcyclist.

So in my journey to find a motorcycle within my price range.
I also did alot of research and came to the conclusion that...I need some badass body armor to go along with it.
And you tell me, is this badass enough?

They both look like you could only wear them during halloween and even then you're probably trying too hard.

Not sure I would use them for street or track gear, but the second link does look pretty sweet.

I would mod my lid to be a bat-helm and crack u every time i ride. That is cool. It will get way too hot to weak leather in the summer even with the lining off. Do yourself a fa favor and s supper set riding and a winter sent riding. This mainly means a mesh jackets with guards and gloves that breath and a leather jacket and 3/4 to gull gauntlets. The other thing to consider is the wrist are on the jacket. Will the glove slid over under it.

yeah but its like heaven forbid if you do have a spill and you land on your back, there is ZERO protection on your back besides the leather, I'm telling you, the concrete aint giving up ANY resistance, and Im afraid that leather would literally shred apart.. It'd be a bad deal.

just my 2 cents.

Sure it hurts. However, It's Better to have that cow skin scrape the floor than my own.

I have never landed on my back but my bro had a big spill in leathers. H walked away unscathed. Much like your lid, leathers or gear for that matter only work when they are worn nd fitted correctly.

One important way good leather will protect you is I'm case of a spill, you'll just slide instead of rolling and breaking every bone in your body.

But in Minsu's case, cheap synthetics will do.
