I have...
Arai Helmet
Joe Rocket Phoenix 3.0 Jacket
Joe Rocket Phoenix 2.0 Glove
Over the ankle steel toe work boots
Jeans
I will wear that all the time from now on no matter the temp. I had a low side crash today. Bike has some scraches and so does my body. For the amount I slide the gear did its job (I had all of the above on). I got up and walked away from my crash in better shape then most of my childhood bicycle dumps.
Gloves did not hold up as well as I would have liked. The next pair will be a bit stronger.
Two lessons learned today
1. always wear your gear.
2. Don't ride like an idiot and pay attention.
