I like the softer neoprene style jackets and clothing. I dont like the plastic foam vests. They seem to ride up your face.
I ride in a wetsuit always unless its piss warm water, which I dont much care to ride in really. I got mine from big 5 last year right when summer was ending. got it for 60 bucks out the door after their sale and discounts. Its a 3/4. Its worked to keep me warm in any water ive been in, but the main thing is how much it has protected my body. i wouldnt get a nice expensive one, as mine is thrashed now. It still keeps me warm but has holes in it and I broke the strap for the top.
I wear wal mart skate shoes with the most padding I can find on the tongue. They last prob 50-100 hrs of riding. Cost 15 dollars.
I dont wear gloves much, but when I do, I like the mechanix gloves.
Helmet, pretty much any bmx or mx helmet will be fine. Anything is better than nothing

I need a new life vest, but i run some JT bicycle gloves, adidas wrestling shoes, I always wear a rash guard, draw string Hurley swim shorts w/o netting inside(i have jet pilot ride shorts but they still like to fall off me). Im in the market for a helmet, probably going to pick up a light weight mountian bike full face helmet. I have a shorty wet suit, and i run board shorts over it, dammit! to keep my boaters certifacate on me when i ride. Im new to this also, I found I like to keep everything real light weight and stay away from stuff that absorbs water and holds it well. I love my wrestling shoes, those and and new turf improved my riding so much.
