As the title says, what do you wear when you ride?
For track?

Is there even a point in asking what they wear at the track?
On the street, a casual ride or commute is me in jacket, gloves, helmet, and riding jeans with Kevlar and knee padding. I’ll eventually order some hip padding, too. More aggressive riding has me in full leathers.

Not everyone wears the same shit while riding. So yes there was a point in asking.

Held jacket and Held gloves on the street, I do not wear full boots for casual rides, however if I'm going longer rides I will, and helmet of course. I do not always wear jeans, however I try my best to. I have cheap shit Aldi jeans which are not bad considering what you pay for, I do also have the bees knees Dainese jeans. Those things are amazing, crashed in them and still wear them even sometimes when I'm not riding (cold nights) and you can't even tell they've hit the ground. For jeans it is worth getting the ones where the whole material is armour, not just certain places.
For track 1 piece Held Slade suit, love it, can't recommend it enough, boots Alpinestars, gloves are Held (these are great too), helmet Shoei X-14, good helmet, would like it to flow more air, but it is relatively quiet for what it does flow. I usually don't wear the suit on the street, I try not to ride so that I'm uncomfortable with the speed, no point on the street as there are to many variables outside of my control. I also believe the 1 piece suits are far superior to two piece items.

I wear a leather jacket. Helmet. If I'm going further than the local supermarket (sportswear clothing manufacturers) I'll wear boots. If I'm going a long distance it's leather trousers. If it's cold I'll add the neck warmer and gloves. If it's wet, depending on the distance waterproof trousers or waterproof oversuit.

Only time I ride on the street is to commute to work and back (5 minutes). I wear a textile jacket, gloves and an AGV lid.
On track I have a 1-piece spidi suit, alpinestars boots, handroid gloves and a shoei ncr helmet. Knox back protector and spidi chest plate too.

For a proper ride, leathers, long gloves and long boots.
For an urban bash, leather jacket, Kevlar jeans, Kevlar alpinestars short boots (the ones that look like high cut Nike kicks) and short gloves
To my local coffee shop or the beach (I live 800 meters from both) helmet only, rest is usually t shirt, jeans or shorts. But it is 50kph only, zipping along with the local scooters.

Im a street guy only. I wear a full face helmet, jacket with some padding, gloves and jeans. Unfortunately I had my first wreck earlier in the week. I was left with a sprained left shoulder and a contusion on my lower abdomen. I will be purchasing a new helmet and upgrading my armor soon.
