Good day to all the motorcycle enthusiast here. One of my goals this year is to become a rider. Hence im researching and learning stuff about motorcycles. I read that best thing to invest in is protection. I've seen a lot of brands in the classified ads section. i would like to know your top 5 brands when it comes to protection and affordability. This would be my guide in purchasing my equipment.

Hope to hear from you

good on you bro...

IMHO the most essential (at minimum to wear on a ride, malayu o malapit man):

1. Helmet (any basta certified standard)..cheap once would protect you pareha ng mamahalin, yun nga lang, mas comportable, magaan at mas maganda ang graphics ng hi-ends

2. Padded/Armoured Jacket....
mesh lang mainit ang leather, mahal pa..
mas maraming pogi points nga lang...:D

3. leather gloves,
double stitched at me palm & knuckle protection

4. Riding Boots......
pero pwede na rin ang closed shoes,
mostly yung walang laces para nothing wud get caught sa mga moving parts...

now, marami siguro mag sasabi na overkill yan,
pero decent gears wud cost as much as some mods....
and who knows it might save your skin ip not your life, if da worse is to happen...

ride safe.... shiny side up...:banana:

Iba iba kasi pwedeng pagpilian eh, depende parin lahat yan sa budget mo sir.

Pag Low Budget, di din ibig sabihin na inferior sila. Actually very effective ito Sir. Remember, kahit gaano pa kakapal pads mo sa katawan mo, kung stupid/reckless driver ka naman, it will only give you 2 results, Excruciating Pain or worst DEATH!

Aside from Gears, concentrate on your driving skills.

JACKETS

If your budget is around 2.5k and below, ito choices (na alam ko):


Fox Body Armor (contact Overdose, Computer_Otaku, Xyphrus, EZ_Riderph / so far sila palang nakita ko na bebenta ng mura niyan)
Duhan Padded Jacket (Plain, FIAT Replica, etc)
Alphinestars Padded Jacket
Sir Overdose's Custom-made jackets
Dianese Padded Jacket
Leather Jacket sa UkayUkay / Divisoria
Scoyco Padded Jackets (Di ko sure kung yung nakita ko is orig)

If your budget is above 2.5k, ito choices (na alam ko):


Komine
Teknic
Orig Alphinestars Jacket
Orig Dianese Jacket
Orig Fox Jackets
Leather Suits (Di ko na lam brand, basta Up and Down na yun)
CHECK CLASSIFIEDS


GLOVES

If your budget is around 1k and below, ito choices (na alam ko):


Probiker Gloves w/ Knuckle Protector
Scoyco Gloves
Bell Gloves
Fox Gloves
Gloves sa Ukay Ukay / Divisoria

If your budget is above 1k, ito choices (na alam ko):


Teknic
Orig Fox Gloves
CHECK CLASSIFIEDS

ELBOW / KNEE / SHIN GUARDS

If your budget is around 1.5k and below, ito choices (na alam ko):


Fox Raptor
AXO
Pole Position
Scoyco k06 / k07

If your budget is above 1.5k, ito choices (na alam ko):


Komine
Orig Fox Gears
Orig Pole Position
CHECK CLASSIFIEDS


BOOTS


Komine
AlphineStars?
CHECK CLASSIFIEDS





Sorry sir yan lang po alam ko, as of now. Hope I helped you a little. Enjoy Riding, it's FUN. :D

Maybe you can post your total budget for the gear then we work backwards...

Essential items would be helmet, jacket, gloves, shin/knee guards and boots.

Thank you for all those who replied to my post. I have been thinking about what you said when it comes to budget. Actually my budget for the helmet would be 7k below for the other parts almost the same. Ill buy it one by one so it wouldn't eat up my savings.

my next question would be. If you had the same budget as mine, what kind of protection set up would you have. Brand specs and price.

thanks to all who's going to reply.

A 14k budget is enough for

Zeus helmet (3k to 6k)
Pole position body armour (4k+)
Pole position Advance knee/sheen guard (1k+)
Pro Biker gloves (900 below)
Boots?

Punta ka sa motoworld sa moa, pag may sale, sigurado swak ang 14k mo kasama na boots. :)
