i am more of jacket of some short kind of guy, jeans, boots, helmet. been wearing my high viz first gear kilimanjaro jacket most of the time. now since it is getting 90 that is warm.

tried a mesh jacket from cycle gear and it was hotter than my first gear jacket :shocked:. that one went back quickly. very poor airflow.

i hate being around those big rigs and bugs come back and whack you pretty hard.


if its a quick run to town to eat mexican than I might just go tee shirt, helmet and jeans.

I have a mesh jacket from Tourmaster. It has a zip out liner that is real good. The jacket is a very nice jacket. Lots of zippers, Velcro adjustments, etc. And the zip out liner is pretty warm on a chilly day--not perfect for cold weather--but when the temps get into the high 60's it works just fine.

Under armor long sleeve t under a pocket tee, maybe my can am summer wind breaker, and I always wear denim jeans, ankle high hiking style shoes or military style, either 3/4 helmet or doo rag and sunglasses depending on my mood and sweat factor. :bbq:

[flaggerphil]

Shoei RF 1100 helmet
Tourmaster Cruiser 2 gel gloves
Long sleeve hi-viz t-shirt
Jeans
Lightweight 3/4 boots
Rain jacket in the saddlebags.

Which is pretty much what I wear all the time when I'm riding down here.

Since we have been experiencing a "hot" spring here (70's), I have been able to wear my summer gear for the last month or so.

:ani29:: Helmet: Nolan N43 or N44 modular.
:ani29:: Jacket: Mesh jacket or my perforated leather Firstgear. Now a discontinued item.
:ani29:: Kevlar lined jeans.
:ani29:: Leather Harness boots.
:ani29:: Fingerless gloves or light summer gloves with the knuckle protectors built in.

As a few others have said, you can't pick the time of the accident or the gear that you will need.

A few fallacies that can be picked from my above selection, but better than no protective gear at all.

ATGATT - all the gear, all the time. And plenty of hydration and stretch breaks to cool off

 

[mindman]

ATGATT Baby!
On the Spyder:
Schuberth C3 Helmet
Olympia Motosports GT Air Transition Jacket
Olympia Motosports Mesh pants or Sliders Kevlar Jeans with knee armor
Good pair of gloves
Revit motorcycle boots (over the ankle length)
Underneath the mesh pants...definitely no shorts (don't need polyester mesh grinding into my skin)
Under the jacket....short sleeve t-shirt

On the BMW two wheeler substitute a Motoport Mesh Kevlar one piece suit for the jacket and pants.
Underneath: t-shirt and shorts.

I was new to the riding world when I bought my Spyder in 2011. I always remember reading on SL, "dress for the slide, not for the ride." You can't have too much protection...

:agree: Deanna777

ATGAT in summer it's mesh jacket and pants and riding boots. Never had an issue where it was to hot

Same here. ATGAT. On the back roads I may have jeans no riding pants. Also a full face helmet.

Speaking of jeans and riding pants; where's a good spot to purchase kevlar-reinforced riding jeans? :dontknow:

Thanks! :2thumbs:

ATGATT for me. Full face flip up helmet, Cortech armored gloves, Canam riding boots, Canam riding jacket with all the armor, Tourmaster all season riding pants with insulation for colder climates and turn them into mesh riding pants when it is hot out.I find those riding pants to be very comfortable for me. They also serve as a heat barrier as well. I also have a Tourmaster Synergy heated jacket and heated gloves for cold weather and carry with me rain gear and boot gaiters, in the event that I get caught in the rain. I always have a thermos filled with cold water to keep myself hydrated.

3/4 or half helmet. Mesh gloves, jeans, 3/4 boots, usually short sleeve or long sleeve shirt. Going on base- full finger gloves, long sleeve shirt or jacket, helmet, over the ankle boots.

Winter- 3/4 or modular helmet. Same boots i always wear. Thick socks. All weather mil spec gloves. Either First Gear jacket with liner or cold weather jacket, long sleeve shirt with short sleeve under that. Jeans with either long handles and chaps or just chaps. Face mask or balaclava. I have lined jeans but it usually doesn't get cold enough to wear them.

I usually ride all the time with my vest as seen in my avatar.
