teknic jacket with armor, full face hjc helmet, joe rocket boots, and Bohn Body armor under my jeans ( http://www.actionstation.com/). Never tested them hopefully I never will have too. Feels great under my jeans though barely notice them. I have the Cool Air Bodyguard Adventure Pants. Looks gay as hell but rather be safe than sorry.

I'm somewhat of a squid on the street lol
well not really but I definitely don't have the street gear that I would like to have
currently I've got a crappy Icon Ti-max mesh jacket that I've had for a few years and doesn't fit me right anymore
I do wear my Sidi Vertigo Race boots and Scorpion helmet, gloves depend on what I've got near me and how far I'm going, either my cheap A*s, or my GP Techs or Pros
and with all that I usually just wear regular jeans lol, stupid I know but I probably ride 20 miles per month on the street at best and after spending well over $4,000 on all my track gear (1 set of Spidi and 1 set of Komodo leathers, 1 AGV and 2 Scorpion helmets, extra visors,GP-Tech and GP-Pro gloves,2 pair of Sidi Vertigo race boots, back protectors, knee sliders, a large pile of under armour, etc)

again I don't suggest anybody wear regular jeans to ride in but I'm way to f'in broke to buy new street gear as little as I street ride

Since I just got into the motorcycle scene, i've been buying all my protective gear over the last few months. I use to just ride around with a helmet, leather gloves and a sweater, but now I've bought
- New Icon Helmet
- New Shift & Joe Rocket gloves ( built in Armor )
- New Alpine Stars & Joe Rocket Rackets
- New Shift riding Jeans
I'm still just wearing sneekers on my feet but am looking at diferent riding shoes to buy.
In my experience in buying all my new gear I learned a valuable lesson, don't do it over the internet. Why?, because the stuff you buy never fits. Size large from one company it totally different from another.

When you look like a Power Ranger, you're ready to ride.

I am guilty of t-shirt riding with shorts and sneakers, it gets f***ing hot here in florida. Always a helmet though.

It is funny, I have 'crashed' (very low speed altercation with gravel) and was thankful I was fully armored. My crash was on one of those 'cloverleaf outings' and I knew I was going to push a little because I was riding with the local maniacs.

My advice is, wear as much protection as feasible, adjust your type of riding when you aren't wearing full gear, pray for cooler weather so you can wear your gear.

I agree about the florida heat. I don't like to ride without any gear, so I just about put the bike away for the summer. Which unfortunately is at least 6 months out of the year.

Like I said earlier, it's up to the rider to determine the amount of gear they wear but my advice is to dress for the crash, not the weather. You can't control that grandma driving the big car that's gonna try to take you out, hot or not.
