Get everything. If you go down, you will be happy you spent the money. I crashed at Hockenheimring last year wearing a Dainese one piece (Techno) with Kushitani HyperProgloves, an AGV TiTech Helmet, a Knox spine protector (would have really hurt my back without it), and Daytona EVO boots.
Everything together cost me around $2000. I got spit off the bike in a highside crash, landed on my head and slid for a ways on my shoulder and back. I was doing around 80 a the time of the crash.
I walked away from it. Actually, I ran...picked up my bike and rode another two laps. The leather never wore all the way through, the gloves and boots were still usable. The helmet, well, it was crushed, but my head wasn't. The people at the hospital couldn't believe it.
Remember this adage: There are two types of people who ride, those who have crashed and those who will crash. WEAR GEAR! IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!
