Hey guys, quick question

I commute everyday to work, around 15 mile trip, I don’t wear full leathers because of the hassle and I don’t want to carry the extra clothes. I wear an all weather bike jacket, gloves, scarf and boots.

What do you all wear for your commute, any links and pictures would be great.

“Dragging Jeans” Cargo pants and the jacket with lid boots and gloves is my commuting setup.

Practical and offers good protection at London commuting speeds

Spada Circuit Jacket and Podium Jeans over my work clothes, as recommended by Ride. Good Stuff, waterproof, warm (with linings in, and cool without), and cheap too.

I have leathers too, but i never wear them anymore.
