Dunlop elastic side steel caps, bell open face with no liner, just the coolite inside (burnt orange colour.....woohoo) gloves...ya pussies, king gee green overalls...any tougher they'd rust, so surely that means they'd protect ya as much as steel plates would....young, dumb & full of cum ...later on I upgraded to a pair of gloves Now I don't go anywhere without pretty much full leathers with armour, spidi vertabra 2 boots, gloves & me trusty shoei & trust me, jackets with armour really do work!
