I always wear my ICON boots and SCORPION helmet I have different gloves depending on the weather. I have a couple pairs of TECHNIC for cool or cold weather and I just bought a pair of ALPINESTARS for warm weather. I had been wearing a JOE ROCKET textile jacket but I also just upgraded to an ALPINESTARS venilated leather "Stage" jacket. I also ordered a set of ICON leg armor but they haven't come in yet.
I've found that I cant hardly ride without the boots. I wasn't sure about them when I bought them because they felt a little stiff but after they broke in, I wouldnt trade them for any other boot.

Helmet (Scorpion EXO)
Jacket (Scorpion EXO mesh jacket)
Gloves (Scorpion Exo COOL HANDS)
Icon Field Armor Vset
Pants (Icon Victory Jeans)
Shoes (Alpine stars Octane black/red)
I plan on getting the leg protecters soon. I have ICON all weather boots as well, but they seem a little stiff and not ventilated compared to the Alpine Stars.

I know this is a little old, but wanted to say that I am an advocate for wearing proper gear. **** I even get comments about my overpants, but at least when I fall it wont be just jeans. Guy I ride with home from work bought leather jacket, uh, shoulda got the leather pants instead cause the textile jacket is good enough, but wearing just jeans isnt gonna protect much. Gear also adds confidence, but ride at your own level I guess.
