Clint's post about his dad got me thinking...
What's your riding gear look like?
Me:
Cortech Textile Jacket (cold days)
Joe Rocket Phoenix Mesh Jacket (hot/sweltering days)
Scorpion EXO-700 helmet
ICON Alliance helmet (spare)
Triumph gloves (looking to upgrade soon)
Oakley boots (have had them forever, but soon to be AStar One-o-One's)
Pants, usually whatever I have on, but urban camos for club rides. I am looking at some of the riding specific pants for the better venting, but I have modified my camos for some extra venting :D
What ya got? And more importantly....do you wear it all the time?
Until I got the JR Mesh, I was rocking a hoodie on those hot days...now that I got that jacket, ATGATT :thumbsup:

When I ride, I wear a minimum of jacket, helmet, gloves, long pants, and boots. I may not wear the jacket if Im taking a test ride around the block, but thats about it.

Pants: Usually black military style pants or jeans.
I can ride comfortably to about 30* if I wear polypro thermals, snowboard pants, jacket, UA hood, a neck gaiter, and the cortech gloves. Ive ridden for close to 2 hours comfortably at that temp. A little stiff, but warm.

I have a carbon fiber helmet (2.4lbs) that really makes a difference. Lighter weight adds to less fatigue.
I also wear a kevlar jacket.

Love 'em! They are thinsulate lined and have a precurved palm for comfort. I really like them. Just make sure you dont wad them up and leave them in your helmet. Let em air out or they get stinky. They are my preferred riding glove, but too hot for summer. But they kept my hands warm below freezing on 287, so I think thats pretty damn good.
