Does The Gear Match The Bike?

Hehehe. Tnx. 
With this setup i can mix & match colors without the fluorescents permanently on the suit. It gets boring sometimes always wearing the same colors. xP
You can always do what I did also and slowly accumulate some extra hi-viz (neon yellow) gear on the side (gloves, knee pucks, helmet etc.) and then mix it up with your existing gear. I was originally thinking of just getting some waterproof neon tape and going to town with it- i.e. doing the Eddie Van Halen thing. but, then once i started browsing, i noticed that a lot of reputable brands actually make high quality gear in neon yellow. so, it just made more sense to go this route and not desecrate what i have... plus, this is easier to swap around. true- it's going to cost a little bit more. but, neon stuff will go with any primary color theme you already have- be it black, red, white, or blue...

nice boots, where and how much?
Nope... never tried to match -- besides, trying to match to my copper bike would give me a headache...
So --
Helmets: Matte black Arai and matte black Sorpion lids w/ reflective Halo band
Jackets: Black Dianese Air Flux mesh for the hot weather
Cortech DSX lined Denim for colder nite rides
Slate ICON Contra for everything in-between
Neon yellow BILT reflective vest
Boots: Black Alpinestars SMX-5 full boots
Black Speed and Strength Moment of Truth 3/4 boots
Pants: Black BILT mesh pants
Gloves: Black Z1R Reaper gloves
Black Alpinestars mesh gloves
Black Sedici mesh gloves
Looking at: Neon Joe Rocket 5.0 Jacket
Revit pants in anthracite
Alpinestars SMX-2 orange/white gloves

Euro model Sidi ST's in Yellow Fluro. Have to order from eBay cuz US distributors don't carry this color. Same price as US plus shipping. . .
