What do you routinely wear on your bike? I tend to wear leather trousers and seperate jacket or my one piece leathers.

2-Peice leathers all the time unless it's raining when I wear the textiles I despise (or my old leathers if it's not that bad Very Happy

).
I shall be investing in a Fieldsheer summer jacket this year though hopefully.

Only £80 and should save some sweaty days!

Recently I've been wearing leather trousers and a textile jacket (plus the boots and gloves). Got hold of a load of CE armour for the jacket but it still feels no where near as safe as a leather one. Would like to get another leather jacket soon Thinking

/ me goes to 'blag' some freebies

Textile jackets, jeans and heavy winter/armoured gloves.
Once I have my bike test booked, and my new bike lined up, I will shop for full leathers :>

'Textile', that's the word I couldn't remember when I posted this! Rolling Eyes

I've just bought a V lightweight textile jacket with 'knox' armour to wear with my leather trousers because I wanted something that would be cooler in the hot weather and wanted something a little more practical when off of the bike.

I wear leathers when it's hot and textiles when it's cold.

Danny, I think you accidentally posted a picture of my leathers instead of yours. Wink

I wear a silver thong.

Other wise it's a leather jacket and leather trousers.

I was looking for some the other day in Hein Gerickle, but they were too expensive......I joke I joke, I'm not really a tart. Wink

Anyway, so then Bendy pointed out these gloves:

Wheres the Cordura option? I have a cordura Jacket and I wear Jeans, when I get a bike that can go over 40MPH thats when I will still thinking about leathers.

Side note, was anybody watching Men and Motors earlier, with the man being dragged on the road behind a car with leathers on, but finished virtually unscaved? Smile

Note that a lot of the armour on the knuckle area on gloves can be pretty pointless.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
