I always go to NewEnough.com for mail order clothing if I'm dead-sure of my sizes (mostly repeat buys).

Gloves? Held Profi's for me but their little brother, the Steve, seems good too.

Boots? Oxtar Matrix. It is lacking any torsional exoskeleton but is very comfy and plain enough for a street boot (I don't like the boy-racer look). I'm thinking os stepping up to a BMW Touring boot for that exoskeleton. The Sidi Vertebra looks like a serious design but is also a bit flashy on graphics. And I ride in all weather (their Tepor system causes more foot sweat than regular GoreTex).
yup, that's the site.

loved the Dainese Speed Metal gloves I had. Also Sidi Vertigo boots - some like the Vertigo Corsa better but I didn't need the extra adjustment factor

IMO, if its not good fitting, quality leather then why wear anything at all???
Have you ever come off whilst not wearing gloves?

It hurts, skin grafts etc. .

Ill fitting gloves are better than none at all, at least they will provide you with some protection.

Sidi Vertigo boots are functional, newenough.com recently had a decent price. i would try them on in a local store first.

gloves, buy with as much plastic protection as you can

back protector?

I ordered the closeout model, the vertibra. They seem like good boots for the money.
