Gear Poll: What are you wearing?

Jiggles · September 14th, 2012, 03:18 PM

I think we could use a basic gear poll just to see what percent of people wear what. Should be interesting.

Well I screwed up the poll lol. Anyway, once its fixed only vote if you wear the level of protection described i.e. if you have a 3/4 boot don't vote for full boots. If you wear latex gloves don't vote for leather gloves

@Alex can you make it so people can vote multiple times? Thanks

Thong, panty hose, and high heels isn't listed?

xSean13 · September 14th, 2012, 04:06 PM

Helmet, Leather jacket, leather gloves, full boots, jeans
+ helmet cam (does that count? :P)

CC Cowboy · September 14th, 2012, 04:19 PM

T-shirt, shorts, sneakers, sun glasses and gloves. I've only been going to the gym on the bike lately.

If I take a ride I wear a helmet, mesh jacket, jeans, sidi boots, and sun glasses and gloves.

I always wear sun glasses and gloves.

Old Lemon · September 14th, 2012, 11:44 PM

i wear all of the above for twisty riding. for commuting just minus the pants

bfpower · September 14th, 2012, 11:50 PM

I wear 3/4 waterproof commuter boots. Other than that, everything.

Gurk · September 14th, 2012, 11:52 PM

helmet, race gloves, race boots, full body suit, back protector (when i'm not too fat to fit it in)

Whiskey · September 15th, 2012, 04:23 AM

The whole lot, €1600 worth
Every time:
Lid
Leather jacket with armour & Titanium shoulder sliders (I destroyed my right shoulder in an unintentional dismount at 50mph 2 1/2 years ago wearing a textile jacket so I'm paranoid about it)
Spine protector
leather gloves (Dainese or A*)
Sidi Goretex race boots

Most of the time
Leather race trousers (>95% of the time)

Otherwise jeans

folky15 · September 15th, 2012, 05:31 AM

I usually ride with kneepads under my jeans.

Timr · September 15th, 2012, 07:09 AM

all of them.
i also use my back protector
although my "protective pants most of the time probably shouldn't count because they are just kevlar jeans and almost pointless.

leia · September 15th, 2012, 09:25 AM

I didn't vote pants - I usually wear jean's with kevlar but no armor. So sorta but not really........though riding to work I've been known to wear khakis.
Sometimes riding to work I'll wear doc marten boots instead of riding boots.....still full boots with leather but no armor.

yzfr6i · September 15th, 2012, 11:52 AM

Same thing I wear on the track... Helmet, 1 peice suit, gloves, boots, back protector.

If I'm running around town I swap the suit for a leather jacket and jeans.

Blake B · September 15th, 2012, 07:28 PM

Never made sense to why ppl aren't willing to spend the money protect their legs and feet?

When you go down, those two things are what kept my buddies from going back to work.. And they weren't wearing gear at all, well a helmet..

Aggrotech · September 17th, 2012, 11:14 PM

I wear a Shoei Qwest Helmet.
A* SPX gloves (wich i love)
Icon Contra jacket with Icon Stryker vest underneath.
Usually some black/white camo cargo pants
my Wolverine work boots.
and always my Kriega R25 backpack

Currently looking at..
Sidi Vortice Air boots (wich is most likely overkill for everyday, all day use)
Spidi XP3-S boots
RF1100
BELLRS1
Icon Airmada 4 horseman
Teknic murcury leather jacket
Also trying to find some good kneepads and elbow pads for when i squid it up
No idea what im gonna do about pants..Might possibly get the dark knight rising leather pants from UPReps lol.
