Lol! ^, I wear my gear all the time. I learnt this by going down on my dirtbike in shorts, my fat FMF exhuast landed on my leg and burnt me. If I had my riding pants, would have defiantly stopped that from happening.
what do you wear in summer?

Helmet, leather jacket, and leather gloves. My leather jacket is the Dainese Nikita Pelle (see below) - was ok riding today at 28 degrees as long as not too much stopping (lol). I recently ordered an A*'s Stella NYC that is a perforated leather jacket. Hopefully I'll wear that when it gets hotter. I also have a A* Stella GP Plus textile jacket for... I don't know...

The Alpinestars Verona Air would have been too cold yesterday but with todays extra temps. it worked great.

Oh, I thought you meant you went down with the jacket on. I wear a perforated leather jacket right now.. not sure if I trust the mesh jackets or not in case of a crash.
In over 45 yrs. riding and going down on pavement a handful of times I've never suffered any real road rash to speak of. Never been down at high speed tho. The armoured textile I now wear is the most protected I've ever been. I feel it's sufficient. That's just one angle, take it fwiw.

Here is my gear year round, only take out the insulated liner in my jacket....
Helmet - Bell RS1
Jacket - White Icon Overlord Prime Leather
Gloves - Icon Overlord Gauntlets
Boots - TCX SportTours
Knee/Shin - a* armour pads
***** - Knox CE Shorts
Pants - Draggin Jeans or regular jeans when laundry is backed up. LOL
I was die'n this weekend but I just stayed out of the city. Now if I commuted in T.O. I would likely wear a lighter jacket.

My gf has the Joe Rocket Alter Ego 10.0 jacket. I'm super jealous.
It's just as protective as my joe rocket leather jacket (and the padding is better than my alpinestars t-stunt jacket). Has a really awesome warm/waterproof full liner. The jacket goes form basically a nice looking full textile to a jacket that is full mesh torso and under arm up to the wrists while still leaving the protection on the outer portion of the arms and shoulders.
Basically she has a jacket better than both of mine combined.
