yea, i have the aplinestar gp pro gloves, and sm-x boots... the gloves were like $180 and boots were $260ish new when i bought them last year, so im good on those. luckily i didnt give those up with the suit.. i definately dont want to cheap out on a suit, i was just wondering if they were worth a crap. i will probably end up with another alpinestars tz-1 suit. i liked it alot and seems to be a pretty popular suit for the price.
