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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
