A CURRENT AFFAIR Gear

I'm five months and nearly 5,000 miles into my all-electric experience of living with the Zero DS. Throughout it all -- the ups, the downs, and the compromises -- I've put a range of gear through the wringer to find the absolute best kit for my daily rides.
The Aerostich Roadcrafter one-piece has won the suit competition, hands-down. The Schuberth C3 Pro, with its integrated communications system and superior wind protection, is the helmet to beat. But there's a host of ancillary equipment that's made my life easier and my commute safer.
Motorcycle gear is the ultimate combination of function and form, style and safety, comfort and compliance. And these are my top picks for the year -- both for price and practicality -- just in time for the biker on your shopping list.
