don't forget boots. And pants help too. I picked up the Alpinestars airflo textile pants...they zip up almost the entire leg so they are like slipping on shorts...great design. For jackets, CE armor is the "gold standard", but some brands use their own design. Generally they will run CE in the shoulders and elbows, but just a foam pad in the back.
Be prepared...this is a totally different game then riding way back when. There is really good gear out there, and it makes a big difference, especially since you have a lot more hp and there are a LOT more cars on the road (most of them on the phone too). I feel alot better about life when I'm fully geared up.
