Your definition of full gear
 
Personally, I dont' care what you ride in. It's not my skin, it's not mine to protect. But I'm wondering what people here consider "full gear".

I'd agree, but I want to get some leather pants soon.

As long as you're wearing a condom, you're SAFE!!!

Full gear means FULL gear. That means every part of you is covered with some purpose-made piece of protective clothing. Jeans and jean jacket just doesn't cut it, by my definition.

its always when you think something is safe when you find out that it couldn't be further from the truth.

I feel that there are 2 different kinds of full gear. Track full gear and street full gear.

Track is obviously full leathers. Street is jacket, lid, gloves, jeans and boots. I don't even like riding with Nikes or other tennis shoes. I prefer some sort of leather boots. Not really sure its going to make THAT much of a difference when I go down but I feel safer and more protected with boots vs Nikes.

Full gear to me means a motorcycle riding suit (1 or 2 piece), moto boots like Sidi/Alpinestar/etc. not steel toe work boots, moto gloves, and a full face helmet.

Anything less is not "full".

agree.

Going on "rides" I wear full gear (I wear pads under the mx-pants), however I do commute in jeans...
