Thor SXT Helmet Thor SXT Helmet (L).

Your budget DOT/SNELL 2000 approved MX helmet. I particularly like this helmet as I can put it on without taking my glasses off first due to the long chin bar.

Denniskirk.com had these on closeout for $35 from the MSRP of $150 recently. Stock up while you can!

I upgraded to this from my Icon Field Armor Vest (on 's recomendation) in order to have some shoulder padding and I wanted attached elbow pads so, that they would stop sliding down to my wrists.

It's comfortable, breathes well and does the job. However, I might try an XL next time as it's a little short for my 6'3" frame. Here's some alternatives I looked at.

I got this is because the wall at a flat track race started to look really close.

It's comfortable, seems to do the job and fits easily under my jersey. I upgrade to some body armor (above) but, it's still a decent set of armor - I may move it over to street use but, for the moment it's a spare.

off-road.com reviewed 'em recently. Alpinestars makes another budget alternative if you're so inclined.

The boots in the bag vary as they wear out and I replace 'em with whatever's on sale. Here's a short list of boots that I've abused:
  • Oxtar TCX Pro Boots (13) - $75 Closeout.
  • Thor T-30 Quadrant Boots (13) - $30 Closeout.
  • Axo Boots (??) - They were free and did the job.

Pants/Jersey/Gloves
I always buy this stuff on closeout 'cause they're consumables.
  • Fox Pawtector Gloves (12/XXL)

I buy 'em in boxes of 100/200 from sharpesafety.com and that'll last me a couple years. I use the Max Lite's just because they have the highest decibel rating I could find. The cord is optional.
