Looks like just cuffs and mace. You'll have to provide your own gun.

I haven't seen this stuff before. Looks like the best crash protection. Too bad they can't incorporate water proof qualities into the shell material. But the fact that it is track approved makes me very interested in this gear.
I have the kevlar mesh jacket and pants by Motoport. The jacket is awesome and very comfortable, but the pants feel a bit bulky. They do zip together to form a suit. I purchased the waterproof liner for the pants; however, I wish I hadn't. I've never used it. I have waterproof overpants that I use instead.
Which pant did you get? They have jeans that are stretch Kevlar on the back side of the legs. He says that's what the cops love, because they are wearing them all day long.
The pants I have are overpants, and I think I have the Ultra II Air Mesh Kevlar Pant. I have had them for 6-8 years now and I don't quite remember and it looks like they've changed it a bit.

Hey Garnet let me know when you get your suit, I really want to check it out. Who knows it might even fit or I will have a reference for fit.
