When it comes to gear, there is obviously some compromises to be made, especially when it comes to budgets. That being said, BOCO - Buy Once Cry Once - will be a bullet you have to bite.
Plenty of guys here and on the Facebook group have the HWK jacket and pants and seem to be happy with them.
Me? I will spend the extra on a budget "big name" jacket and pants. Often I will scour revzilla for closeouts and sales around the end of the year or early spring to get some good deals.
The HWK is made of 600D mesh and has CE rated armor, so that's all good things. Where they tend to save is on the stitching, zippers, etc. So they may fall apart faster. What I would love to see is reviews on the jackets from people that have crashed, and how they held up.
