If anyone needs an exact name for Goose’s helmet, search for “Bell super magnum silver helmet”, and remember, the accurate helmets are the ones without the face guard snaps, those were added later.
Also, since we know Goose’s helmet is silver, is Max’s white or silver?

Found a budget-friendly accurate version of Roop’s glasses:

Also, this was my 500th message!

Just thought I’d post a rare uncropped version of the Goose motorbike slide aftermath:

I might as well talk about the boots while I’m at it. They are alpinestars from the 70s, and very hard to find these days. They’re the 2nd generation model, and for some reason, Goose’s boots are missing a metal plate on the ankle that appears on all the boots of this type that have been found. Also, how is he wearing his revolver on his belt? Another holster?

I thought I’d end up on a wild goose hunt searching for the boots, but I ended up finding something absolutely phenomenal:

They’re out there somewhere!

Time to talk about Goose’s motorcycle gear, and believe it or not, Tron fans might like this post. Goose wears kneecaps, arm guards, and gloves. All of these were made by Jofama, even though the following images have it censored:
Armguards:

Knee/ankle guards:

And finally, the gloves:

Thanks to this Japanese blog for the photos:マッドマックスな日々～MAD MAX グースの装備
Fun fact, Goose is REALLY popular in Japan!

Nice score on the boots. Those should be valuable on their own, let alone a Goose prop. Roger DeCoster is currently head of off road motorsports at KTM racing. They should also be extremely uncomfortable to walk around in.
Jofarma? There were protective gear sold in the US name Jofa. Maybe the same company?
I still have my white open face Bell helmet from the early seventies. Looks like the one you posted above but with a snap on visor and buttons by the lower jaw

Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn’t score those boots(sold on the bay less than a month ago-not my size anyway), but merely confirming the existence of the EXACT boots, which as far as I know has never been doucmented, was a big enough find in itself. Jofa and Jofama are one in the same, I learned that while looking for some gear they made that was used for the video warrior costumes in Tron.

Check out Goose’s shirt:

Looks like the hems are cut off, whereas Max’s shirt still has the sleeves and collar fully intact.

Here’s some pics that show Goose’s holster (and his belt, which looks different from Max’s):

Observation: Goose’s belt is not looped through his pants

Well, looks like www.madmaxcostumes.com (a valuable research tool) is down. Does anyone know why?

Some more Goose holster photos:

While I’ve looked for those, I also started a hunt for the gloves worn by the Patrol. The originals are VMX gloves from the 70s that were available in the land down under. Here’s some photos of actual vintage gloves and some screenshots:

What is up with the cuff on Charlie’s gloves though?

Here’s another rare uncropped photo, because I have not much else right to post about right now:

Some detail I noticed on Max’s right shoulder pad:

It’s almost like those are scratched in numbers that represent something. Arrests mabye?

Also, turns out Roop also wears a holster. I also found a Max holster photo and a couple of Goose ones, including one that shows how his jacket goes over the gunbelt:

The shoulder caps are an enigma, because no one is really sure where they came from:

It’s possible they were originally white, but as can be seen, the production crew did some messy spray painting on the caps. Also, the amount of rivets in each cap depends on the character wearing the jacket.

They are very similar to the caps of knee pads and then painted.

I’m not sure I see any of the holes in those, but I did find a source for some accurate looking ones back here:Mad Max MFP Uniform/Acessories Thread
Also, since your username is MFPbadges, would you happen to know of a source for some good horizontal-pin MFP badges?

Well would you look at that, www.madmaxcostumes.com is up and running again!

I haven’t. To be honest you don’t want that because they are week and fail easily.

If anyone wants to find Max or Goose’s leg wraps, just search up gauze bandage rolls. Also, Charlie wears a white pad and black scarf after he “cops a saucepan in the throat”:
