I'm aware off that - most of the time I wear textile riding pants, but on hot days and "more difficult" destinations the MX pants come out of the closet (adding the padding isn't very flattering for my hips though

)

I agree. Sorry, but jeans aren't 'gear'.

This is me in FULL GEAR (besides I do have a nolan full face modular... so maybe its 90% full)

Normal gear for me is this

I'm just asking what people's definition is - not what you actually wear. I define "full gear" as moto specific gear covering 100% of my body. I have ridden in jacket/jeans combo but not often. I'm paranoid. But it's paid off. So far.

ahh but your mental state is perhaps even more important. spend all day thinking about crashing and you're gonna make it happen

full gear is ce armored leathers(1pc or 2pc), ce back/chest protector, helmet, full gauntlet gloves, m/c specific boots. the definition of "full gear" shouldnt change because its a hassle, or time consuming, so you can still be able to say you wear full gear when you ride.

i voted for taters ho cuz it was a funny choice
