Just to inject some discussion into this forum before they get rid of it as an irrelevance, I'm interested in knowing what's the minimum gear you guys wear when you head out for a ride?
I consider myself a bit anal and always wear at the very minimum:-
Leather jacket
Helmet (duh)
Gloves (my winter or my summer ones)
Draggin Jeans*
Boots*
* I've been known to nip down to the shops wearing normal jeans and sneakers and used to ride in GP boots, but only for short distances, and I used to wear Mx shin/knee pads under my Draggins for extended mountain runs (I like my ability to walk unassisted ).
But on the track I go the burger with the lot:-
2pc suit
Back protector
Kevlar knuckle gloves
Boots
Ear plugs
So.
What do you guys wear when you're out for a ride?
