Helmet and Chest Protector Badly Needed

[Jimmel]

Im from a very remote area in Philippines...but im studying here in a particular City in Mindanao...im saving my weekly allowance to buy gears but unluckily gears here are 2x the prices compared there...anyone with spare of helmet and chest protector Im willing to buy...:( no matter how old, important is i have gears...:( anyone?

[Flap]

order online

[Jimmel]

How?
I dont have my own PC and internet and i dont have even a visa? i can only surf and send mail when iam in school...i dont need a brand new...its very expensive thats why im looking old ones because maybe its cheaper...do you have old chest protector or a helmet?

[star_fish]

well you se my freind the problem is that you live in the Philippines
and buying used gear may be cheaper but it would cost some one like 20$ or higher to just send it to you. let-along buying it.
just dig around and find some gear up there were you live or get a freind with a card to buy you the gear and then you give him the money for it.

yeah, like starfish says... getting the stuff there would be a big process... your best bet is to save money, and go through someone who has internet, and a visa.... that way youre also guarenteed better condition, and therefore more safety..... but also.... just ask around there.. im sure there is at least one person who has an old cage and helmet they would sell you...

[shaolin]

you dont need a chest protectorthat much anyway there made for stopping roost form hitting you

Add barpads to your list, or rig something. Save your face too.

[freerider]

dude ,i wouldnt worry about a chest protector just get a helmet ,gloves and a bar pad (what alex said) and you,ll be sweet!!

and boots ;)

[star_fish]

yeah definatly get a bar bad. i think pro's that ride without em are nuts. its easy enough to bash your face up on them with a bar pad:p
speaking from experience though, you must have a bar pad. it could save your life. ive had my life saved by a bar pad 3 or four times.

[star_fish]

and it isnt too important to have a chest protector. but if you do any serious riding it will save your ribs if you come up short or somehting and stack on the handle bars, keep your ribs from snaping.

[Jester]

but in the instance you might smash your chest on your bars... and you dont have a cage on, there is always a barpad there to take most of the blow..

:(Philippines is a third world country...in short were not rich..ok!:(

[WaussInd]

Man... if I had any extra gear at all... I'd send it to you in a second.

I don't even have a chest protector myself, and I don't have enough money for another helmet. If you're still in need when I get some money, I'll give you mine....

Wish I could help.. :(

[shaolin]
