Приколы
I bought every piece of gear in this video WITH MY OWN MONEY (except for the Haga Arai). I chose, tested, and used this gear before making this video and NO ONE PAID ME TO SAY ANY OF THIS.
They paid you to say that..
Love the transparancy!
Do you wear the Techair with the Hyperspeed? Is it Airbag compatible?
Please tell us how you crashed on the street so we can learn from you
I ride with full gear always. Helmet, gloves, jacket, riding jeans, boots and an airbag vest / backpack (helite h-moov). Sometimes it’s annoying to gear up but then I remind myself that I increase my survivability with a few percentages 🤓
do u also used armored gear with the airbag vest?
Is it hot wearing the vest underneath?
Neck gators are also great for protecting your neck from bug hits and sun. Always have it on for Street, ADV, and dual sport riding.
The versatility with them is insane. From hot weather to cold weather you can and will find multiple uses out of them.
I prefer a balaclava myself as it helps keep my head from sweating so much in my helmet. One would think it would make you hotter but no. I use the Axial ones but I'm sure many will work.
I mainly use it as a makeshift balaclava and neck protection from sun tan.
I think that one of the most important things that people do not speak about is how lazy most people are to do their own fully fledged research on brands, standards, tech and models of said brands. The next is the importance of fit and finish. How it fits you, specifically and how it is finished, meaning how well is the item actual built, not how good it looks in design.
Bro most people don’t know their ass from their elbow. Finding someone they trust, that knows more about it than they do, then following that example, is much better than the “average” person making a decision for themselves. Think of how dumb the average person is. Half of them are dumber than that. Especially in America.
What do you think the point of watching these videos
@@brettknighten1171 You seem to have misread my comment. Try reading it again. Slowly.
Arai Helmet, Revit jeans, Revit Gloves --- pretty pretty damn close. Bravo for the video.
11:50
I have these lava gloves. They are honestly not warm enough under 40 degrees outside, and they let a fair bit of water in. Some of the outer material has started to fray in less than a year of use.
lovin' the moto safety vids brotha, keep em comin.
Yam has Hair ?
Keeps sponsorship incoming
He looks different/better without the cap.
I'm so glad you mentioned the isle of Mann. I watch some form of real road racing every day. Glad you're a fan! This is a well done gear recommendation video. Love your content
Buying my first bike tomorrow 😅 Z650 it's used great condition, I'm a new rider but I'm a pilot and know engines and stuff and I'm in love with it, my cruiser bro prbly gonna make fun of me but ima learn everything I can on my little old z650 (17k miles)
Hey man bout to join you as a newbie!
The 650s are nothing to sneeze at! I think your cruiser buddy will be playing catch up and wanting his own naked pretty soon! Best of luck and safe riding!
That's exciting! I think the Z650 makes a great beginner bike. Enough power where you won't get bored right away too!
Enjoy brotha! 🤘🏻
Thanks for the advice, I'm starting my motorcycle lessons and I needed new gear, now I'm all set!
I wear an Aerostich Roadcrafter light one piece suit. Helite air vest. BMW adventure boots. Sena helmet. Various gloves. All the gear regardless of weather. I’d rather sweat than bleed. Great video Ysm.
I personally believe the He-lite air bag vest is better since it's the only one that immobilizes your neck and doesn't require being sent back the the factory to 'reset' the inflatable function.
They really need to make one that can be worn under a jacket. I'm going for the Tech Air 5 for that reason alone. Not all of us want to dress like a dad that rides a BMW touring bike.
@@thadcox5298I went with the backpack one. Since I often wear a backpack anyway, this works out.
@@thadcox5298facts
@@thadcox5298That’s exactly what I look like when I wear my Helite 😅. However, as I am a dad, I don’t care and really value the added protection
@@chrisoz4929 I totally respect that and I would do the same if I had kids. The thing is, most motorcycle riders (especially sportbike guys) are vain. Like, neck braces work, but there's a reason you don't see sportbike guys wearing them, even the guys that wear race suits on the street.
I love these boots so much. I’ve done 65k miles in them. I took them to a shoemaker to get to sole redone after 40K miles. They are, 6 years later, still water tight, breathable and comfortable as hell. I will buy the same again if available. Not sure when lol.
I ride a 3 season RST full textile jacket and matching bottoms with all the protection. In the summer I wear jeans and a lighter jacket with the same full protection. I only have one helmet, rain gear in my back pack at all times, three gloves for different seasons and that I believe all one ever needs.
I do like the airbags; however atm the price outweighs the benefit for my wallet.
Very happy I just got an Alpinstars tech air 5 and on my first ride with it at about 10 mph I hit a 4 inch deep pavement grove that threw me about 15 feet I landed on my chest, and because the vest had inflated I actually bounced and walked away with just slightly sore ribs and a pulled groin. My riding jeans did fine and my Fox Creek leather jacket with ghost armor came through without damage. I sent the vest to SeaCoast and the did a full service and sent it back the same week for. $179 well spent money.
I wanted to buy my first pair of boots today and was really undecided about which kind and model to get, but you just set the tone! Thanks!
Would have appreciated it more if you had included the ballpark figures for the items, but it is still useful. Cheers, Yammie!
Love my Revit Moto2 jeans! Super comfy, AA rated, and they don't look out of place off the bike
I love your work, most useful stuff I've heard yet
Sitting at my desk in Klim Outrider pants, Buff neck gaitor and Belstaff Resolve boots. Schuberth C5 helmet and Held Score KTC GTX gloves are on the file cabinet. Rev’it Worker 2 over shirt hanging on the back of the door. 150 miles on the bike this morning.
For the pants use the gentle cycle in cold water when washing, hang to dry. They will remain crispy. Great vid 👍
Me personally,
Helmet: AGV Pista GPRR, HJC RPHA1, Shoei X15 but have a sweet spot on Shoei. They're comfie, quiet and can ride with it all day.
Jacket: Ixon, Dainese, Joe Rocket
Gloves: Dainese and Revit
Pants: Komine, Dainese
Boots: Augi, it's a Taiwanese brand and I don't think it has reached american shores yet. I got 3 of them already. 2 riding shoes and 1 race boots. The build quality and durability is awesome and a lot cheaper.
Do you think dropping 1k on a helmet like the agv is worth it? I think they look really cool but idk if i can justify it lol
if you dont think you can justify it, its 100% not worth it. Especially when u can get just as good helmets for less than 750 usd.@@cuubs
@@cuubs definitely no. Pistas are overrated. I just tried it because yeah they look really cool.
No speaker pockets, not much detents on the visors and it feels heavy for a carbon. I get that it's made for racing but c'mon, atleast give us a speaker pocket.
@@cuubs the K6s looks good though...if you have a round head.
I personally want riding shoes instead of boots and least for when im first starting out. What type of brands/shoes would you recommend for riding shoes?
Hey Yammie I loved the video and you've basically saved my life with your video on NBT and such. One question that I haven't been able to get answered looking at all your gear video reviews or videos similar is what type of brand would you recommend for riding shoes? Me personally I'm just starting out and I would prefer to get some riding shoes before I get some big boots and I haven't seen much anywhere that talks about what the best brand/style of riding shoes are the "best" so to speak. Thanks again!
Nice! My gear;
Helmet- Bell Srt Predator Blackout
This helmets alright, good protection but the wind noise is a but much
Jacket- Dainese SuperSpeed 3 Perf
Pants - Dainese Delta 3 Perf
Gloves - Dainese Full Metal 6 Gauntlets
Boots - i wear vans right now like a squid, but will be getting the A* SMX-6 v2 boots soon.
I did buy all of this myself, but i waited until the end of the year for HUGE sales when they are discontinued and new products are released. Over 40% off every item except the helmet.
Deployed the Tech-Air 5 after two "whoops" on track and it is 100% worth the money. No injuries both times.
Cannot beat Alpine for airbag suits and vests. You can get the Air Tech 10 or Air Tech 5, and have ultimate safety. Or even, for the users concerned with saving money and avoiding the hassle of sending the vests back to the manufacturer after every deployment? You got the Alpine Air Tech Offroad, which can be used in street mode and behave like any other Alpine Air vest. You get the protection of the Helite with the neck and back, whilst also getting the protection of the Tech 5 for the sides and shoulders especially. Best of all, the offroad vest comes with two canisters already and only fires one on each deployment. Then you can buy a pack of 2 new canisters for around $170 and then install them yourself like the Helite, but after 4 deployments, which I don't think people are going to crash that much on the street, then you send the vest to Alpine for a canister and bladder replacement for $300. With the amount of protection of these vests, you just cannot beat Alpine vests.
Love Rev'it gear. Just recently turned on to it and it hasn't disappointed. Get yourself a pair of really good quality waterproof gloves. Rev'it and Dianese make outstanding gloves. Wore Arai for years but switched to the new Shoei R-1400 last year and really like it.
My personal picks. Background: almost a decade of street riding exclusively in Nepal, and now in California
Jacket: Alpinestars fit me best, but I seem to like leathers on dainese or Spidi jackets, really high quality. Astars leather seems to wear off easier.
Pants: RST techpro jeans (for the street) it is rated to CE level of AAA, has level 2 protection and has stretch lining in the knees and hips. So much more protection and much cheaper than overpriced brands for riding jeans such as dainese or even revit which offer low level of protection, skimp out on armor to level 1, or don't even provide armor in some cases.
Gloves: Many many choices. Gloves are really overlooked by riders, but it is usually the first thing that touches the asphalt when you go down. Knox handroid, Racer high speed gloves, Five RFX race gloves are awesome protection. they have good bracepoints that a lot of gloves miss out on. Leather quality is really top notch.
Boots: really depends on feet shape and have to try out different brands to see your preference. I Like TCX boots for track riding. Dainese torque for overall protection and walking practicality,
Helmets: so important to get the right size and shape that conforms to your head. Arai is definitely king. HJC rpha 1: love this helmet,fits my oval head perfect, is very comfortable, cuts through wind like butter, materials are high quality, and also is FIM rated. Shoei RF1400, too heavy and hurts my pointy ears. AGV is lightweight and comfortable, visors scratch too easily,expensive to replace, vision fromt the helmet is awesome.
Finally, one protection that people skimp on
earplugs! foam earplugs are okay (if you use it right! you dont just stuff it in your ears, you have to squeeze it, put in into your canal, and let it expand) Cons: can be painful during long rides since your ears wont be able to pressurize to the outside environment
Im researching earplugs with a filter, replys are welcome.
Yamm, all that considered, most of your gear cost around 700$ piece/gear aprox, for all of us NOOBS that dont want do spend so much make a top full equipment for summer/entry level gear, BUT in BUDGET!! BEST price/quality for each category... Helmet,Jacket,Gloves,etc... MUCH Appreciated from a Romanian newbie!!
Fortnine usually has a good video on this! My advice is when searching places like revzilla, set the price point you want and then sort by best sellers not best rated. Sales numbers speak more than reviews in my opinion
I use my SMX-5s not only for street and track days but also for Enduro riding. Just a great all around boot
I'm absolutely on the ATGATT train. Helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, boots and even a helite airbag vest. While cumbersome and a lot sometimes, I know it's always worth the extra hassle to make sure that if I do go down I will come back to my wife alive and intact.
Very helpful!
Nice. I’m on my 2nd Arai. Tried a Bell. Was a bit noisy. Thanks again.
You should check out the 3M E-A-R TaperFit Foam Earplugs they have at Northern Tool. They have a 32 NRR rating and come packaged in pairs in a 200 ct box so you can put a bunch in a pouch or bag and they won't get dirty and you will always have two as long as you have an unopened pack.
I like that leather jacket! I'm gonna get it. Thank you YAM YAMS! 👍🏽
personal tip... use quick ceramic detailer for your helmet visor it will keep it cleaner and you can remove any insect with your hand easier when riding
The Napolean Dynamite reference with the pants was a nice touch
Arai/Shoei helmets, Dainese leathers, Held gloves, Daytona Frey boots ...best of the best in class
I got a modular ECE rated helmet
Alpinestar textile mesh armoured jacket with back protector and chest plates.
Alpinestar armoured gloves, not gauntlet
Alpinestars armoured high top sneakers
And I’m getting armoured Kevlar jeans this season
I've put those boots on my wish list. But I have 3 pair of TCX boots (no matter how much I look at others I keep buying TCX boots) so I don't really NEED more boots. I like boots that don't look like I'm walking on the moon, those Alpinestars definitely do look like that, but next time I'm at the gear store I'll try on a pair.
I work parts at a dealer and I always tell people "Safety is a sliding scale. It's up to you to decide where you fall on it."
Another thing that people, even more so new riders, don't think of is: Gear isn't "Just for the crash." You ever take a rock or big ass bug to the knuckle or shoulder at 80mph on a highway and you'll wish you had gloves or a jacket on.
your gear costs more than my bike
Isle of Man TT, you have got to go, there's nothing like it. I was there 3 times before I moved to the US from England in 2000.
Rokker is expensive but have some great pants. Short of leather, Draggin' Jeans offer the most protection. They're pretty close to leather.
This is my first time seeing your hair 😯😄👍🙂💯 GOOD VIDEO YAM ✨
AGV, Alpinestars gloves, Langlets jacket, Alpinestars boots.
I have the RST track tech evo 3 and they’re pretty nice for the price of $180 new.
RF-1400, Alpine ⭐️’s gloves, Dainese jacket and boots.
Do you wear the Airbag underneath ur Revit leather Jacket? Or does it even fit underneath?
Thoughts on the SMX-6 vented?
I dead ass thought my vision was blurry since I didn't have my glasses on 🤣
I bought SMX boots purely on the recommendation of Yam after watching a video a few years back. They're probably not the best value for money but definitely steered me in the right direction because I was about to buy something alot worse.
AS far as helmets go, i absolutely hate the arai logo. if i could buy one without any of their logos id probably try one out
you should look at an frz400 there pretty interesting for an older bike.
Yep.. the airbag vest works. Personally crash tested it 1,5 weeks ago 🙈
I don’t see the SMX-5, would the SMX-6 be seen as an upgrade?
Can you do a video about 750cc I’ve been looking for a 750 and I’m not sure if it is the best bike to get.
What did happen to the motorcycle gear used to sell?
I actually bought the armored flannel which I wear all the time haha and wanted to buy more
How does the airbag vest work in hot weather?
Cargo shorts, filp flops, and a tank top and you're good to go. Don't forget the shades
Beardless Linus is back
Now Yammie is growing some hair on top?
Wild times
Just out Italian maker of the most popular brand of motorcycle gear is now producing a line of full body suits called the “ cannoli” in a crash the whole suit fills up with whipped cream! 😂
I use the same airbag vest for the last 3 years.
Do you know any otber brand besides HJC that have XXXXXL sizes?
I like the airbag idea and if I had the money I’d get one but I’d get tethered cause as advanced as it may be I don’t want to put my safe in the hands of a computer 🤷♂️
Thanks noobie 😸
I always liked the idea of buying an Arai helmet, but they do not offer any internal fighter pilot sun shade option. I don't want to pack different visors for sun and night, so i went with a Shoei GT-Air 2 instead. Not sure why Arai refuses to use internal sun visors.
I read, they feel it compromises safety.
I don't believe you can have the max safety rating with the sun visor. Whatever space the internal glass and mechanism takes is going to reduce the amount of foam/armor in that area.
Easier than carrying two visors, wearing sunglasses in your helmet can work really nicely.
lol changing visors takes less than 30 seconds. If you’re really going on such long trips you’d have to carry another one, take sunglasses. This is a silly complaint, ngl
I know shoeis have photochromatic visors which change from light to dark depending on the weather for the RF models, unsure of the GT models. And yes, internal lens means less protection usually.
I went with the shoei rf1400 with transition visor, you cannot convince me there is a better helmet on this planet I lov my shoei
I am using a tech air 5
What was your 2016 crash? Was it ur fault or a car? Genuinely curious
Arai Qantum X for me cuz I got that bowling ball head 😅
Why did you stop selling gear?
Thanks for the Video. It's Helpful. I'm Trying to Gain as Much Knowledge as Possible Before I Start Riding.
Excuse the ignorance but shouldn’t the helmet be able to isolate enough wind noise to avoid tinnitus?
Because your head is bigger than your neck, and the helmet fits over your head, there's a big gap between your neck and helmet. That gap allows a lot of wind noise at speed, and helmet padding only helps so much because it's designed to reduce impacts, not noise. I'll wear ear protection every time I ride, because some helmets and bikes produce a high pitch at speed, especially if my vents are open.
No helmet blocks wind completely. You're literally getting hit in the face with it while you ride. I have a $300 scorpion and a $900 bell. The bell obviously does better than the scorpion, but I still wear earplugs.
Did you get a hair transplant? I just ask cause I’m 29 and strongly considering one
Why don't yall sell gear on the website anymore?
Yo Wig be Funny ‼️
Aerostich ?
Why only the A rated jeans when you can get AAA? Seems like an unnecessary compromise.
You put all that gear even if you go downstreet to buy something quick or to grab a coffee?
Tryna find a quality quiet long oval helmet or longer intermediate oval with good venting, good wind buffering and speaker pockets, but no one makes a long oval and if they do theyre loud as all fuuuuu. The only Aria that comes in long oval is the signet and it is the opposite of quiet. Great helmet but loud af. If anyone has any suggestions. And no I dont want a scorpion or an icon. The build quality is trash
We got Yammie with hair before GTA 6
You get do anything with an SMX5, except hang out in public without looking like you just got off a motorcycle.
Focus!
Can I replace ear plugs with Apple Ear Pods?
Who else realize that papa yams now got hair😂😂😂
Some hair
Well let me just say that those tinted visors are the worst because your ass is screwed at nighttime when there are numerous helmets with drop sun visors
Have you had a hair transplant ? Looks good 👍
Wait, Yammie’s got hair?
shoei Neotec 2 helmet , IXON IX-Airbag U03 In&Motion , Hood jeans slim fit SK11 AAA rated Jeans, Revit Tornado 2 vest, Daytona Roadstar GTX boots, Alpinestars SP1 gloves (summer) Macna Foton heated gloves ( winter ) , Richa suburbanit trousers A rated overpants ( commuting), Daytona AC classix GTX boots ( commuting),SCOTT ergonomic pro rainvest+overpant. ATGATT
Thanks to vanced i can watch your videos again, those "giveaways" gave me cancer, luckily vances skips those automatically.
What is vanced
Since when does yammie have hair?😳
I prefer a physically armed tethered airbag. No batteries, no algorithm.
The Music.. Why?.. make it Stop! :P
Are you not selling gear any longer? Is this just temporary or are you out of that side of the business for now?
day 9000 of asking yam opinion on mt09 vs streetfighter v2
I don't know if I like haired yammie bewb vs potato head yammie
You only trust reputable brands. Smart.
1st
Only one thing, he hasn't paid a penny for anything you see in this video. Including the hair plugs
I think he paid some pennies, just less than most people would.
Why choose to be rude when you can be constructive? Go touch some grass. Also I did pay for this gear, I mentioned that in the intro.
This is all great gear, but considering that you had affiliations with the manufacturer for 90% of the gear show, I can’t help but feel like this was a long commercial. You recently made a video condemning RUclipsrs for promoting (admittedly terrible) gear for money, but you’ve now done the same thing (just with a better brand). I’m sure most of us would prefer a totally non biased opinion, especially when safety is a concern.
I literally purchased this gear with MY OWN MONEY. I have crash tested and USED this gear. I CHOSE to wear it.
Not ABGATT?
