Jacket - Leather: Teknic Lightning, wrecked in it twice, no issues.
Jacket - Textile: I have a Joe Rocket Ballistic Touring Jacket, no issues.
Jacket - Mesh: Cortech GX-Air AMAZING JACKET! I absolutely LOVE this jacket (more at bottom). I had a Firstgear mesh jacket, POS. I had a Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket, also POS.
Pants - Leather: Don't have any.
Pants - Textile: Don't have any.
Pants - Mesh: Don't have any.
Pants - Denim/Kevlar: Icon Recon Jeans, wrecked in them once, they held up well. I like them.
Helmet: RF1000, I LOVE Shoei's. They wind tunnel test their helmets more than any other manufacturer, their shield change is very quick and easy, plus if you wreck you can send your helmet to them and they'll inspect the helmet to make sure it's safe to wear.
Gloves - Leather: Shock Racing GP1's. I like them.
Gloves - Mesh: I only wear leather gloves
Gloves - Weather/Winter: none, the GP1's work fine.
Boots: AGV Sport Sebring.
One-piece suit - Leather: Teknic Violator 1-piece, so far, so good, Used to wear an IXS suit, went down once, held up great. I really liked that suit, but you can't get them in the states anymore.
Two-piece suit - Leather: Don't wear two-piece.
One-piece suit - Touring/Textile: NA
Two-piece suit - Touring/Textile: NA
Armour (i.e. Icon, Bohn, Alpinestars): Alpinestars Tech Back Protector, I liked it, I now have an Alpinestars Bionic vest, which is a back protector/chest protector combination, I really like it so far.

The Jacket, it's a Cortech GX-Air, it is the best mesh jacket I have ever seen! It has real THICK leather on the shoulders, elbows, and down the back. It has the best foam back protector I have ever found built into a jacket, and it has triple layer armor at the shoulders and elbows. It has a mesh chassis, with leather in impact/abrasion areas. It came with two spare liners, a quilted one and a waterproof one, and both liners can be used separately or together. It has a TON of useful pockets. It has a lot of reflective piping, it's awesome. It's VERY sharp looking, and doesn't look like a Replica/Ricky Racer jacket, so I'd feel comfortable on a sportbike, cruiser, tourer or any kind of bike. I recommend this jacket to everyone.

Just ignore the diving gears occupying half of the left rack.

1-set for the track (yellow & red)
1-set for canyon/sport riding (red & black)
1-set for cool/cold weather riding & touring (blue&white)
1-set for the KTM (orange & black) just because
1-leather black jacket (Field Sheer) that I bought on sales for dirt cheap
1-commuter/wet weather/cold weather Field Sheer Highland II suit that's not shown
1-mesh jacket BMW Airflow
Several pairs of riding jeans, BMW, A-Star, Cortech
A bunch of gloves - cold weather, wet weather, touring, sport riding, track, mesh.
Several helmets - they get stinky real fast so I gotta switch'em out
Several pair of boots - they too get stinky real fast.

You guys gotta remember that I clock in close to 30,000-miles a year in all weathers.
