What I'm
Riding In
Right Now

This is the stuff I actually wear. Not brand deals, not free samples I had to review. When something gets swapped, it shows up here first.

Alpinestars SMX-1 Air V2
Gloves
Alpinestars SMX-1 Air V2

Leather palm, perforated mesh top, knuckle armor that doesn’t bulk out. These are the gloves I reach for first whenever the temperature is above 60. Short cuff so they don’t fight the jacket, and they break in fast.

Alpinestars T-Stunt Air
Jacket
Alpinestars T-Stunt Air

Maximum airflow without giving up CE-rated armor. Mesh chassis, leather-feel collar and cuffs, sport-cut shoulders that fit over a midlayer when the weather drops. This is the jacket I wear on every street and canyon ride from May through September.

Shoei X-15 Proxy
Helmet
Shoei X-15 Proxy

The successor to the X-14, with a meaningful aerodynamic upgrade and a chin bar that sits closer to the face for better wind management at speed. I reach for it on track days and high-pace canyon rides. The Marco Bezzecchi colorway is the cleanest race rep I have in the garage.

NBT License to Ride 2.0 Cargo Pants
Pants
NBT License to Ride 2.0 Cargo Pants

Cargo cut that doesn’t scream “riding pants” when you’re off the bike. Knee and hip armor pockets, abrasion-resistant build, and they handle 8-hour shoot days without becoming uncomfortable. The pants I wear on every first ride.

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma
Safety
Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma

Standalone airbag vest, no tether to the bike. Goes under or over my jacket depending on the day, fires only in a real crash, and at this point it’s part of how I get dressed in the morning. If you ride and you don’t own one yet, get one.

Alpinestars Speedforce XR
Boots
Alpinestars Speedforce XR

Sneaker silhouette, motorcycle bones. CE-rated ankle protection, oil-resistant sole, and they look enough like normal shoes that I can wear them into the dealer or a coffee shop without changing. The boots have been in rotation for two years and still look new.
