Any gear that you have liked the most? Helmet, jacket, boots, or luggage?

Was it practical? Stylish?

Looking at my accident history. What would have saved me from a crash would have been ABS. That's not gear per say.

Most impressed with a Stars smx boots but I haven't really tested those hard in my crash.

Dainese jacket, dainese pants, helite turtle 2 air bag and arai regent x helmet did great in crash. Did not break my collar bone or hip. No injuries. I guess astars gauntlet leather gloves got tested slightly also.

I wear a pretty obscene amount of gear.
