So Im thinkin about purchasing some riding gear off ebay, because im poor and cheap :D Im wondering a few things. Do you wear you clothes under you gear? They just seem kinda thin for the riding i would be doing being cold wet and muddy lol. I wear size 32-34 Pants and Like a Large shirt. What sized should i look for? Also would it be a better idea to purchase my gloves somewhere I could try them on or can you size your hands like that? Thanks for reading any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I get my gear for a good price from a place called Cycle gear.
Cycle Gear - Motorcycle Apparel, Parts and Accessories

As for wearing closes under your gear as YB said you could wear a t-shirt under your jersey but I dont think you couls wear more than a pair of thermals underneath.
As for pants and jersey sizes the run just like clothes. As for gloves they vary by company. I would go try on a pair on at a local dealer that you are looking at on eBay and see what size you need.
 
i usually wear a pair of tracksuit bottoms under my riding gear and depending on the weather a hoodie aswell but under the actual top. I do find it gets really warm with all the moving youre doing though
if you plan on wearing clothes under youre riding gear get a size bigger but tbh its all down to personal preference and the weather
 
I where jeans, and some good boots. Either justins or my old combat boots, and a good helmet. depending on weather I wear a tshirt or hoodie...

But usually its pretty warm here in south texas.

When I used to ride in Northern michigan i would wear a full snowmobile suit in the winter
 
Usually I would just put jeans and a hoodie add a helmet and call it a day .... But my friends all have gear and they make me look like a noob when im with them lol Everyone says how great the pants are. The gloves I smashed my knuckle off a limb the other night so Im defiantly gonna get some good ones lol Thanks for the links guys ill give em a look. I found a set on ebay used i can prob get for like 50 shipped Its Shift MX Gear i guess idk lol But its yellow and black and would match my blaster ..

Im watchin this auction There a size 34 but that should be good if there a little big. I was also wondering about the supporting membership on here to use the classifieds. Any information would help thanks guys.
