What gear do you wear?
- Thread starter Evil^

spring to autumn commuting in London I'm in a air mesh textile jacket, normal jeans, leather gloves and boots and a helmet. If I'm going further then textile trousers over a pair of light shorts for summer. Just depends on the speeds really. Then in winter it's just swap out the air mesh jacket for a std textile jacket and heavier gloves.
Since the hot weather has creeped in and im thinking more and more of not riding in my gear im curious to see what you guys are riding in today?
Anyone?
If its proper scorchio I will ride to town in jeans and a t-shirt (30mph limits)

Super hot weather I wear an Alpine Stars bionic jacket. Basically body armor mounted on mesh. Whilst moving it's lovely and cool. Though when the temperature drops... brrr! 
I stick to my leathers for my lower half. I find the vents etc. cool me down better than kevlar jeans

I wear mostly the same gear all year round, In summer I remove the inner linings on my text jacket which allows really good air flow. Oh and I swap gloves to summer ones. Same boots and same Hood kevlar jeans.

Saw a guy riding around with no helmet on this morning, wasn't too sure what to make of it 
Hein Gericke Gore-tex jacket, rain or shine.
Hein Gericke Gore-tex trousers for long distance, jeans locally.
Berghaus Gore-tex walking boots.
Hein Gericke Gore-tex winter gloves. Magma summer gloves.
I need to get a decent summer jacket with good venting. Has to be Gore-tex obviously
I'd say you're better off getting a proper pair of boots
