Default need help about gear

hey guys i was wondering if someone can give me a good idea for what i should look for in a good two piece suit or one piece suit and boots..i usually like to have good protection and also like to get low around the corners....

i kind of decided to get better protection when i was going in full lean around a twisty canyon road by lake beryessa and clear lake area in north california and got alittle too low for comfort and almost riped my pants to pieces...and my knee was alittle bloody!!! []

i am not into racing track yet because i don't have money to do that but when i go into back roads or to lake tahoe i usually like to get low and i don't like not being safe about it...so anybody got any good ideas???

also, doesn't anybody have any pros or cons about the new icon helmet decay??? i have a mainframe skull helmet and like it but haven't had any other helmet before besides the mainframe....it is kindof heavy but looks nice...

I am sure that most leather suits are better than jeans. Ride safe.

if you do plan on doing track days in the near future I would invest in the one piece...some tracks won't allow the two piece zip togethers...you can't go wrong with a pair of Sidi's protecting your feet...
