Do you want comfort, sound, or protection first? old bikes teach patience.

In my experience, A good base layer does more than an expensive jacket in the cold. Ask three riders, get four answers, but that is my take. Mostly highway or backroads? Hope that helps.

Okay so Mesh in summer completely changed my riding, no going back.

Genuinely, You get what you pay for with rain gear, cheap stuff wets out fast. What are you riding now?

Long time lurker here, Spend on the helmet first, everything else can wait. old bikes teach patience.

This again, ha. Honestly, Armor is only good if it stays in place, watch the fit at the elbows. Spent years fighting this, simple maintenance beats fancy parts every time.

Following this one. Not my lane but Try it on with your riding posture, not standing in the shop. I ran into the same thing on a Street Glide and it came down to the basics. Get properly measured, most people wear a helmet a size too big.

Nice, congrats. Okay so ECE testing is stricter in some areas, but I would not lose sleep over either.
