[QUOTE="Spud, post: 1023671, member: 17601"] At a minimum get you and the GF at least decent riding jackets. Besides the protection, they are designed not to flap in the wind, and make higher speeds way more comfortable regardless of temperature. As for rain gear, make sure what you have will fit over whatever you're going to wear. Motorcycle specific is nice, but it it's just to get through a storm and not hours on end of rain, what you already have may work.... It's really about how much you want to spend. More protection and more comfort the more you spend. My first real jacket was a Joe Rocket Alter Ego and I still wear it all the time. It goes from Warm to Cold to Rain by zipping apart, and while not the cheapest thing, I think is a great jacket for the money.
