Gloves are GREAT IMO & easy - albeit for a good, tight fit, you may need a mallet to bump them into place. Epics, as you know are good, but the wires & clip can be. My personal experience is mostly just with Easycare boots. Scoot boots I've known of some who love them, but many who find they rub.

Renegades are great IMO, but haven't tried them myself, but have quite a few clients use them. As with the Macs, Trails & other 'high profile' boots, they can rub & aren't the best for really long/lots of riding. I've had clients use Cavellos(used to be the 'budget alternative' to Easycare but don't believe they are these days) & liked them. I have used (original, pre Easycare) Old Macs & found them good, if 'clunky'. As they have such a broad range, it also was good for considering different brands, although of course they don't mention those. Think they've changed/removed it though, as I couldn't find the info last time I went looking, that I remembered seeing. There was a good bit of information on the Easycare Downunder site, for comparing pros & cons of their boots.
