riding gear?

[94warpig]

Am I the only one who rocks jeans and a t shirt when riding? You guys use all the " pro" style gear, boots and all?

I've got a pretty nice Fox racing setup. Knee pads, Elbow pads, HELMET. I use my own snow boots, they hide the lace so it's not in the way and its waterproof and insulated. Gonna save up and get a nice roost deflector. Depends on what you do, I used to be a jeans and t-shirt guy until I've been soaked, cut and beaten up from trails.

 

[94warpig]

I always wear a helmet too. I get beat up on the trails all the time but I'm not comfortable in anything else

I picked up a set of used MSR boots for 20 bucks, they are a lot better than my trashed skate shoes, keeps the muck out of my socks. Got a set of Fox gloves for Xmas so ill be rockin' them as well heh.

Only riding gear I have is a helmet and goggles. That's it. I wear mechanics gloves from Fisher Auto Parts, or deer skin gloves from Lowes. I would like a pair of boots though. I usually wear plastic sauna pants over my jeans. Keeps you from getting filthy. Also helps to make you loose weight. You'll sweat your ass off in them!

I just rock my skate shoes, jeans, t shirt or sweatshirt, helmet and goggles. I always get people makin fun of me for not wearing the proper gear

I like the protective gear it has saved my hide a few times.
Helmet- must
Boots- must
Gloves- must
Long pants and shirt- must
Goggles- must

I know sometimes these are constraining but the older I get the more I appreciate them.
The older I get the more I feel my younger days.

I rock the levi's, steel toes, Helmet and goggles (sometimes, lol) and a hoodie if it's cool out. I don't even own a pair of riding gloves but I don't have Bitch hands either. I'm a mechanic so I got man hands, lol!

you want gloves when you ride with other people when you got no hand guards. rocks hurt like a BITCH!

 

['00 WO-YA!]

And sticks, and large bugs, etc, oh and so do the blisters from the damn renthals, lol!.Na, seriously I'm going to get myself a pair this year. Oh, I forgot the thorns, they suck balls!!

 

[alex456123]

^ hell yeah thorns suck! they go through my damn gloves! but i do suggest either fox gloves or fly racing.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

I bought a nice pair of fox gloves for my wife, wish I could wear hers, lol!

 

[Gen1Pat]

Why over pay for riding gloves when mechanics gloves are nearly the same thing? Work great. Just get the gloves from Fisher.

 

[alex456123]

pat cause most riding gloves have pads in the palm so your hands dont get sore on long rides

 

[Gen1Pat]

My hands don't get sore.

 

[alex456123]

well some people have nerves in their hands pat. lol

 

[Gen1Pat]

Only time my hands hurt is if I'm wearing loose fitting gloves or if they get wet.

Sounds like some people need to man up a little bit about riding!!!

Usually and depending on the exact weather its my steel toes, pair of jeans(engine will keep my legs pretty warm when its cold), Tshirt/tank top/ hoody/ double hoody, just depends on weather and temp for shirts. Helmet and goggles, and my mechanics gloves just depending on a few factors.
