Cool. The clothing looks OK, but like you say, not sure i'd buy a helmet for £30. Wonder how much they bought them for.

I bought the jacket, trousers and gloves, not exactly alpine star, but not bad either.

Might think about the boots from Aldi.

I bought two of the walkie talkies, and they rock! really good feel to them, and 5km range. I'm not sure how well they will link up with other brands as they only have 8 channels, so I bought two of them, and at £25 with the flat cloth head phones/mic/handlebar PTT, they are great!.

Just need to get my bike back on the road to test them out over wind noise. The also have VOX, but I dare say the PTT button on the handlebar may prove more useful with wind noise/random swearing at cars lol.

Kit fit quite well into my AGV, and seems to be audible enough. Easy to use and set up, and the unit itself can be plugged in to recharge the batteries.

I bought one of the rider/pillion intercoms about two years ago for £5 and its still working well, hopefully these will prove as good, also they have 3 year warranty.

Thumbs Up

from me

Also bought one of the back protectors, and its fits well, is good and adjustable, nice and comfy, fits under my leathers well, and seems to offer good protection, reaching over my shoulder blades and down past my coccis.

Out of all of that I'd only even think of using the walkie talkies and the balaclava.
When I did my CBT in December the bloke warned me that they're starting to sell helmets and said not to touch them with a 10ft pole.
I don't plan to. Shocked

I bought one of the 25 quid bike to bike units and it works very nicely indeed with the one my mate paid £140 for last week. Laughing

Went in today for the dregs.

Got charger, gloves and socks.

Socks and gloves took the journey home from Bradford - York.

8/10 gloves, 9/10 socks.

Gloves said windproof and clearly are, construction seems good. Waterproof claim I take with a pince of salt as no gloves with leather can be fully w/proof.

Feel was a tad awkward to begin with with inner liners i wore, improved as journey went on. Very good fasteners with zero gappage for draughts.

Socks had advantage of 13 quid windproof boot liners over, but very comfy (no digging in) and did the job that two pairs of 'civvy' socks usually do.

30 odd mile breezy journey and feet and hands not cold at end.

Other gear looked decent, tried a lid on just cause I could Very Happy

Seemed ok for price. Almost got back protector and rainsuit but payday isn't until tomorrow!!! Laughing
