I can't post links but its the Oneal Element package. It comes with a jersey, pants, gloves, boots, and a helmet for $260. The only thing I'm was worried about was the helmet but it says its DOT and Snell aproved. Do any have any opinions or expierence with these products, or know of any better deals?

I have no experience with the helmet and boots, I have had some Element gear, it is cheap but did alright. It's the old saying "you get what you pay for." If your on a tight budget and need a full set of equipment I'd say give it a go.

It's definitely better than nothing, and the Snell approval is a plus.

I have a pair of element boots, they suck real bad and hurt your feet.
