Hi just wondered what gear you wear
leather jacket and trousers matching set great gear but heavy and very hot in the hotter weather no removable lining
then my wife brought me a 1 piece leathers love the look and feel ultra protected also has zip in inner lining but limited pockets only 1 inner can just about carry a wallet thats it now sold did not like the power ranger look
just brought Textile jacket trousers both have zip in inner lining nice and warm in current weather and should be good in the summer as i can remove the lining loads pockets trousers and jacket and all armor all left in very light compared to leather also great as trousers are jean style so remove jacket and you look OK for a walk round town etc
caberg flip helmet used for work Nitro n820 used for best Sidi Ven boots always wear Rst gloves use cold killer under gloves for colder days

Most of the time I be wearing :- Boots, jeans, bomber jacket, waistcoat, gloves and helmet! Though as its a bit cold at the mo, if i'm going to work I'll wear my textile jacket and trousers - don't possess any leathers and if I had a one piece leather suit, I'd be shot!!!! Been out today in jeans, proper bike boots , textile jacket and me waistcoat !! Was ok but got a bit chilly just as I was making my way home

I am with Andy on that, there is no way me mates would let me get away with going around looking like a power ranger, I wear either Jeans or Draggin combats with a hoodie and a black leather jacket, short gloves and dc martens!

+1 to Andy & Thed!
I have got rid of my leathers and Power ranger suit. Now I only have HG textile jacket & trousers. Looking into getting some Dragging Jeans - either combats or jeans (maybe both!) also considering some more Richa gear (they do good reasonably priced stuff) and JTS combat waterproof trousers (again good and reasonably priced)

What to wear depends on situation and riding partners, taking kids on back then a denim jacket an trainers don't half slow ya down an keeps red mist at bay, normal'ish riding maybe textile jacket, jeans an Sidi's, but when its a good R1/Gixxer baiting day, then its the full on Kryptonite proof 1 piece "power ranger suit" ;D ps Any one wants wants MTM 1 or 2 piece, can recommend SCOTT leathers from Barnard Castle, had mine 11 years and still good as new, just wish they were black, must be an age thing

Black leather FT jeans, a black hoodie under a black Fieldsheer textile jacket that's seen better days but is sooooooo comfy; KBC union jack bash hat that needs replacing, another KBC it will be; FT gloves that have had it as well - found some lush armoured ones that actually fitted but they had KIDS ZONE in bright colours over the knuckles ffs, small hands lol. Plain black HG boots that I want to replace with white sidi's but I'm not allowed Have worn the JTS combats but felt way to lesbiany so gave them back pronto! Shamefully have blue&white all in one power ranger suit ... tis going on ebay!

Nice thread kentsclan that I recently thought of posting!- no love lost mate! Me wears Shoei xr1000 'Joust' lid bought last month from Helmet City on line (delivered next day), £240 discontinued model (£330 retail!), but the one I wanted (always xr1000's); Belstaff textile all season that has seen better days (high side war wound on the elbow), but is one of the best bits of kit I've ever owned- NEVER get cold; black Spada Milan leather jeans with partly abused sliders (Dow!) tried other jeans, but leather makes me feel protected & I believe this reflects on my comfort on the bike- ever ridden in shorts? See what I mean?! Sidi B2 gortex boots £170 but worth the investment- love em now worn in & look the nuts; Alpinestar gloves £90- ridden all winter in these 'summer' gloves except perhaps twice switched 2 my winter thermal gloves. Oh, bought me self Knox body armour vest for summer use under a sweatshirt. Don't feel as well protected as with the Belstaff though, but makes ya look like an American footballer!

Alpinestar leather jacket and trousers Sidi boots alpinestar GP gloves and a KBC helmet (due for a replacement)
My dilemma is i like to drag my knee so i need the knee sliders on my leathers,although its a zip together i can,and have gone out in just the jacket and jeans.
You cannot beat dragging your knee on the tarmac so the leathers stay.

got one pc Arlen ness Black leathers.. Black Arai with some red demnons face on the side, synister i think is the model, Puma boots, Berik gloves and norm a fleece.. ( still a power ranger at heart!). when others ( on sports bikes) see you in leathers it makes them try harder, and then when they get stuffed by a naked bike it makes me laugh!!!!! ::)also usually wear now i got handle bars, Cargo pants, Gerrike black jacket with hoody underneath or a Dainese leather jacket... looking into a track bike so will always have leathers . just feel more protective in them. i know im not and it makes me ride like a loon but like em...
