The Racing Apparel Thread

[evil_weevil]

So,

Thought I'd start a thread for two reasons, show what you have and give info and tips to others looking to buy race gear for the right racing!

So,

What does everyone have?

I have a mixture - Ive got an RPM suit, ERG gloves and looking to buy shoes to do MRA

My helmet was given to my from my best mate for my 21st - still going strong today!!

[evil_weevil]

So now that Ive posted the thread, I need advice!! lol

I have a Shoei helmet

I am also looking into buying a suit, gloves, boots etc, So i will be interested to see what the pick of the bunch are.

I have been looking at the RPM single layer club sprint package that revolution offers, anyone using this now?

[evil_weevil]

Thats what mine is Ryan. Ando and I use them.

You'll need to by the underwear also for doing MRA AFAIK, but have also been told can wear long pants and long sleeved shirt underneath also.

My girlfriend and Dad got me this for my birthday which was awesome.

Also have some OMP boots and dodgy Nitro helmet, which is comfy enough. Might pick up a Bell or Stilo soon though.

Can't let Chris have the goofiest pic in this thread

My gear bag now contains:

Stilo helmet and a HANS device - sports version (the poor mans version) but just as good as its big brother

2nd helmet which is now my back up for if I ever can't run in my Stilo & so old I can't see or remember the brand!

RPM Mondial suit (double layer)

ERG Protek suit (double layer)- second suit a good investment for me given how smelly they can get after sitting in them for days at Targa!

Sabelt balaclava & fire proof undies. Sabelt had the only black balaclavas I could find- they don't show the grime you pick up after dropping them on the floor!

OMP Gloves

Co-Pilote Rally Watch (does superduper rally stuff & is definitely smarter than me)

Will post some pics when I am awake enough to hold a camera straight (tired, not pissed before you smartarses say anything!)

Below is my first investment in gear, purchased with a gift voucher from mates (hence the dodgy pic to show what I'd bought!).

These are still my favourite dancing boots- made by ERG and are super comfortable and a good fit for a smaller foot. Can't remember the style but ERG don't seem to make anything like them now. Unfortunately they stopped being the right standard for rallies run under CAMS so I also now own a pair of Sabelts which are not nearly as good a fit.
