Just wandering if when you buy say a Joe Rocket Jacket do you also have Joe Rocket gloves? Is it a sin in your book to have on a A-star jacket but Icon gloves?

I bought everything at the same time from the same place, so it's all the same brand. As I get more gear it'll eventually become mix matched. What I can't stand is having different designs clashing, but brand names don't bother me. I'll wear anything as long as it'll protect me.

I don't think I have two pieces of gear from the same manufacturer.

all my gear is different. It all looks like it could match but for the most part it is whatever fits, looks decent, and is cheap.

I do! But only because I got talked into some girly gloves that went with my leather jacket. :lol:

And for the record, most of my gear is black, my helmet's red. But when I get the Icon jacket from Tigger at the rally, nothing is going to match! :rofl:

I buy the gear that fits the best, so it will perform its job. Since manufacturers size their garments differently, I have to buy different brand items for the fit...I just try to get them to match the color as close as I can

Oh hell no. I have a lot of Joe Rocket stuff, but not all. I buy what I like and what fits me well. Fit is hugely important in gear being able to do it's job in the event of a crash/slide, so I'm not going to buy stuff just cus it matches; I'm going to buy what fits the best.

I've got jackets by Joe Rocket, Power Trip and Cortech. I've got gloves by Joe Rocket and Alpinestars. I've got boots by Teknic and Axo. And my helmet is Arai.

right now... I have a A* jacket, Boots, Gloves, pants, and knee armor. my leather pants though are Teknic.

I don't really care WHAT brand it is... but A* just seems to fit me the best... and has the quality I require.
