What a Dakar Racer Wears - Brake Magazine 

can you guys provide a list of gear in the video? that would be very helpful. Thank you

Hay....Thanks Simon....Always look forward to Mondays mini tips....All the best..

Simon Pavey’s Dakar ride was amazing and a well documented story in “Race to Dakar”

Thanks Simon for sharing your experience in equipment choices for Adventure riding

This is very good info, many thanks, cheers.

Thank you for showing and sharing with us your personal used gear. Seeing how well the equipment held up during use and seeing how easy each product fit`s and stores is far better then seeing bright new shiny equipment that many adventure rider`s have store away in their closest collecting dust instead of dirt from trails. Ride Fast, Far, Forever.

Thanks for the tips and gear guidance for the pro riders. Definitely a spot on article, respectfully done. This video is Gold!

Great video

Great Job Simon, good to share your experiences and keep us all on the right track.Regards R and Annie Lowseat.

Thanks Simon, got a lot out of that.

Finally found this video, very informative, no dislike whatsoever :D

A far cry from the BMW Rally2 jacket you wore in the Race To Dakar video. I still wear mine for mostly road use, but with all the armour in them, they are heavy.

thank you

Thanks Simon. Your Gear is very similar to the gear I wear for adventure riding in South Africa. I've got the exact same knee braces. According to me knee braces are as important as a helmet.

Great seeing your dad, a true Dakar heavy weight. Hope to see him do another Dakar ps great channel

Good one Si

Great vid! Couple questions... have you tried the water tube system that ports into the helmet? I had what you had and found it was hard to get a free hand sometimes to grab a bit of water whereas if it were in the helmet I would have been drinking more. Also, do you think something like the Leatt 5.5 armor (full chest and sleeves) would be too heavy for you? Thanks

great video=. thanks. But one point is not clear: "only chest and back protector"? Does that mean you do NOT wear the Alpinestars layer with the elbow pads, etc.???

Sound is off a few times

Got to be fast to wear gold! :D

What's the brand of the heated first layer? Never seen that before and after 4 rally trails it sounds perfect.

Another great video, brilliant. Does the knee protection system you use have to be made to measure, or is it off the shelf?. Thanks.

New subscriber here, great video. Do you have the link to that black alpinestars full upper body armor you are wearing?

White boots make a world of difference indeed! White helmets too!

This channel should have as many subscribers as the number of users on ADVRIDER.com!

Gold tint for the goggles and gold boots only for the fast guy(s)

Just curious if there is a compromise of road abrasion protection vice impact protection given you mentioned wearing the same gear on your adventure bike? I am assuming you wear the same gear on road aswell?

Could u please tell me the company that makes the rain/wind jacket? Cheers

The demonstration pretty much answer the question " how do they pee?"

Is that all your torso protection?

Dumb question, what about hip protection? He didnt mention any armor there, and I didn't see any bumps as if he had protection on?

Hey! Thanks for the video. What brand and model is your mesh jacket? I really need it. Regards.

Which alpine stars armoured vest is that?

Whats the model of that alpinestars jacket? I just can't find it anywhere and I've been looking for something like that for a long time!

So no neck brace then, I thought for sure.

So wait?No upper body padding? Elbow/shoulder/back protection? Sort of looked like there some pads in the second "base layer" but maybe it is electric heating panels??

A pocket of pharma is the base layer in my first aid kit.

Hi, can you tell us the brand of the rally jaket, looking to buy a similar one with the build in camel back and rear poket for the rain jaket

what about neck brace?

How do you measure ambient temperature on a Dakar bike?

Hello, where could I find the wind/waterproof azure jacket? Thanks

what the hell brand of jacket is that? That's exactly what I want for the Trans America Trail trip i'm planning and better than my current leatt enduro option

what rally jacket is that? the mesh one at 5:15 it is so fly

Any reason why the pants are tucked in2 the boots?

Hey Simon, do you wear a neck brace?

No neck brace?

Who don't you use any kind of airbag? Maybe that could save some lives like it happened unfortunately with Paulo.

Where can I buy that lightweight mesh outer jacket?? Been looking everywhere. Anyone know?

what was that? DoCCAAARR LOL

Good informative video, shame about the camera work

*RACER

neckbrace?

So he just wears a roost guard under a desert jacket?, what does he use to protect his forearms and shoulders??.. Nothing I guess??..

Why do you have to be fastest riders wear gold tint lenses?

they sock for sure
