Just got all my gear, another n00b here.
Go to Modern Motorcycles around Commercial + 12th, the guy I dealt with (Aaron, son of the owner) put together a pretty decent deal for me (gloves + pants + boots). Burnaby Kawasaki is overpriced + half-assed service, and Richmond Motorsports is quality but $$$. I like Imperial Motorcycles too (dealt with Sandra), but their hours aren't so great.
I don't know that much, but be sure to try sitting on a bike while trying on the gear. Walking around and riding are pretty different when checking where the armour sits on you.
As for my gear: finally just got it all yesterday

Yes, I am very aware that my helmet + jacket don't match.
Shark RSX Stunt - Black + Red

Joe Rocket Meteor 5.0 - Blue

Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 - White

Joe Rocket Alter Ego - Black

Alpinestars SMX-4 - Black
