How much does a full set of motocross gear cost?

The answer depends on the quality of the gear your looking for, and how much you willing to spend. another factor is the optional protection.

heres some estimates.

helmet: $90-$600

goggles: $25-$60

neckbrace: $100-$400 (optional, but highly reccomended)

chest protector: $75-$100 (also option and highly reccomended)

jearsey: $20-$40

pants: $90-$200

gloves: $15-$50

boots: $100-$500

knee pads: $15-$30

socks: $15-$25

So for top of the line, fanciest gear possible, your looking around $1500-$2000

i normally spend about $500 a year on gear. helmets, boots, neckbraces and chest protectors will last you awhile so you hardly ever will have to pay the $1500 at one time. if you new, start off with the cheap stuff. that way your only spending a couple hundred on gear. guys i race with, that have the gaerne boots, nad shoei helmts(those alone are around $1000) probably spend more than a few thousand a year on gear. if you have the extra money, don't hesitate to buy some spare gear.

like..

3 goggles, 2 jearseys, 2 helmets, 2 pairs of riding socks, 2 pairs kneepads.. etc.. just in case something breaks or gets lost. Hope this helps :D
