I have three sets of gloves (I lost half of another pair in a shop once, very annoying), two necktubes, two jackets, one balaclava, one helmet (with two visors), one pair of boots and one pair of armoured textile trousers. Oh, and panniers and a tankbag.

Not really all that much.

Shorts. I have lots of pairs of shorts, which I like to wear whilst riding my motorcycles. All of them 3/4 length cut from combat trousers.

Rode to work in Jeans one day last week, the only occasion I've ridden to work in anything other than shorts for over a month Thumbs Up
