Have a few questions:

I have a Suomy Apex cool that I bought last year, build date is July of 2010. I only see a DOT sticker, is this helmet good for tech standards? If not what brand/models are? Also wondering if anyone here wouldn't mind letting me borrow some of the gear I need to participate. I'm in need of size 42 leathers (I'm 5'6 -160lbs roughly), gauntlet gloves and back protector. I had all this gear but had to sell my R1 and some gear about a month ago due to family economic problems. I will pay for damages to the gear if any done by my use *knock on wood* lol. Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
