I got a Fieldsheer Jacket with armor(and it looks and feels/fits awesome BTW) for $46 and I can get armored pants for around $50 so they are even affordable IF you look. Jacket and pants around $100, Helmet was $60 and gloves $20(leather with the molded knuckle armor and extra padding in the “skid zones”. So im pretty much ready to go for under $200 for everything(I already have about a trillion pairs of work boots that will work just fine for over the ankle boots) I need to ride and its not junk this is decent stuff just on closeout most of it.

Jacket:$47

this is the Jacket I got(just got it today) its armored in the shoulders,forearms+elbows,and back VERY nice for the $$$
Jacket:(i got the yellow for visibility)

thats $180 for everything..not “cheap” but not horrible to be fully protected either..a LOT of people pay more than that just on ONE piece(normally the helmet) alone let alone get ALL your gear for that much..and like I said its not junk Fieldsheer is pretty good as is Tour Master the helmet is DOT/Snell so thats just a example of how you can get gear of decent quality for “cheap”
