Get the kidney belt! Everything else is frivolous

You get what you pay for.

decent helmet, decent boots, cheap body armour, cheap knee pads/braces and cheap clothing is the bare minimum in my opinion.

Kidney belts are a little out of fashion and no longer worn, but i used to wear one and if you want one go for it.

If you have the money then get decent helmet, boots and Knee braces as they're the ones you'll be grateful for the majority of the time.

Fly F2 helmet is a good combo of value and quality, Alpinestars/fox/TCX make good quality boots at varying price points. even the new fly boots look quite good.
Hope that helps.

I'd start with a good helmet, preferably one with MIPS. You can get a reasonably priced helmet with MIPS from Bell (mx-9) or Fly. As far as boots, I have the Forma Terrain MX, which have a hinged ankle for a reasonable price - probably the best value out there, in my opinion. I had Fox Comp 5 and found that they offered very minimal protection. I'd focus on helmet and boots, and then whatever you can get a good deal on for the rest.

Closeout gear is just gear that is a year or two old so its on sale

Feel and fit while riding is first. Helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, and knee pads is the minimum to start. Then you can add stuff as you like.

Getting a good pair isn’t a issue, I’m a safe person if you want to call me that so I will spend the extra money for better protection, just wanted to know what was needed and what was extra, thank you

Most important stuff is for sure helmet, boots, goggles, gloves, knee pads, jersey and pants. I really recommend a kevco stubbs kidney belt.
