Well- I went for budget/functional for 'My First Biker Gear'- ie mostly made by Buffalo (must be- it's written over every available space on the jacket!). It's done well in my off as didn't come off too bad- only the zip at the bottom of one leg where I landed and the zip on the inner lining of the trousers (I wear combats under these anyway and have hiking thermals, so well covered).

However, I always feel a little out of place turning up at Rykers on my nice yellow, sporty looking bike and my very courier looking gear! I'd like to get something a little more stylish in the future- esp a set of race leathers (the buffalo kit's not that aerodynamic!). But it can wait until after I replace the fairing etc... Nice stuff does tend to get rather pricey...
