Check out switch gloves. Super stylish, super warm, great quality. They would look sick with your jacket. www.switchgloves.com

For helmets everyones gonna have their own opinion on what they like. Giro is definitely a good company though all around, maybe look at a G10MX or a regular G10

dude the point of a helmet is not to look cool, it's to protect your head. with that in mind, buy from sweet coz they're the best. giro 10s are pretty good too, as are poc.

Comfort and performance are the 2 most important things about the the items that you want. Go for that, then if you still have choices, choose the ones you think look good.

Helmets would depend on the shape of your head, but I'd say Sweet Protection have some decent looking ones. Giro have had some good ones, and the Smith Holt is looking pretty good too (IMO).

Wow, since when was it important to match your gloves with your coat. they are gloves, unless there is a sudden increase in hand fetish, no one will care what your gloves look like. And if you are really worried just get a  neutral color, like black, brown or white then it will go with anything.  Same goes for helmets matte white or matte black.
