    What gear do you wear when you ride?

    Curious who wears what for protection. At the moment I wear MX boots, full face helmet and gloves along with whatever clothes suit the climate. Anyone wear more or less gear for protection? I think some sort of chest or back protector might be good for when I'm fooling around on hills and pits. Lessen the chance of broken ribs or sternum if I flip.

    Shoes, jeans, t-shirt (jacket if I'm in the brush), gloves, ball cap and sun glasses. Sorry if it pisses off the safety monitors, but growing up in AK and riding that way since I was 14 has become habit. I Have tried a few times to wear a helmet, but the weight and restriction in visibility drive me insane, to the point I would quit riding altogether if I was forced to wear one.

    If I'm out hunting and driving a quad, I don't bother with a helmet, I'd rather wear an orange hat and lessen the chance of getting shot at. But then I'm just crossing fields and not fooling around like I do on my trike.

    depending on the ride ,i almost always wear my helmet for any serious riding hjc helmet no gloves at the moment but theyre on my dk wishlist scott goggles if riding with other people and brahma ( sp ?) steel toed tall work boots, i had a nice axo chest protector wich gave me a little more confidence and oniel mx boots they they burnt up in my buddies house fire . to me there is nothing cooler than being fully decked out in mx gear like a roost spittin warrior ( not the quad )

    T-shirt, jeans, shoes, helmet w/goggles and riding gloves. I used to always ride in shorts but I crashed a few years back and got gravel rash on my leg so I don't do that anymore

    I wear jeans, boots, shirt and sunglasses but I try to stay pretty safe when riding. I do want to get a nice helmet and chest protecter and such so I can start getting a little more extreme.
    Hey, What other dangerously fun vehicles can I Cram in my 2and1/2-car shop? (Garage.)

    Helmet and glasses, and basically whatever clothes I happen to be wearing that day.

    Oh and a backpack full of beverages, delicious beverages.

    I dont know how anyone can wear riding boots or them freaky riding clothes. And i also despise gloves, unless its below freezing temp
