    At the risk of "You're just saying that because you sell them" replies... :-p

    My Reevu helmet. With my panniers fitted to my bike all I can see in the mirrors are the panniers, so the mirror in the lid is invaluable for touring. I did 1500 miles around Spain in July, just using the lid's mirror and loved having no blind spots anywhere.

    But even without that, it's still the quietest and the most comfy lid I've had in nearly 12 years of riding, better than my previous Shoei XR1000 and Arai Tour-X by a long way and considerably cheaper.

    Struggling to find something similar
    Personally, I've never met a pair of waterproof motorcycling boots yet! But that's just in my experience : Good to hear others have [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Took some finding, but my TCX gortex boots (retail £220) are brilliant. I'm on my forth pair. Not only totally waterproof, but comfortable and hard wearing. A lot of instructors use them because they're so good.

    Although Kevlar jeans are comfortable in summer temperatures, don't think they give you the same level of protection as leathers, because they don't. No matter what the claims are, we've seen evidence to the contrary. I do wear Kevlar jeans only if the weather is too much to take. And I ride very carefully... :-?

    Just breaking in a pair of TCX Infinity gore-tex boots. No more wet feet for me thanks

    So my best kit is my Shark helmet and my TCX boots
    My heated grips are broken so no longer on my good kit list

    For me it has to be stomp grip. Puts me much more secure on the bike, and takes a bunch of pressure off the wrists.
