Was just wondering what do most forum members tend wear regarding safety gear..I tend to wear textile jacket Kevlar combats and motorcycle boots plus helmet and gloves of course for my commute,with it only been an 8 miles round trip..Sunday blast or day out on the bike its full race leathers all in one..suppose it's a balance of safety plus practicality for me..
Leathers, full boots, decent gloves and a forcefield back protector. Do have a set of HG textiles but as I don't tend to go out much in the rain they don't get too much use, but when they do it is with the boots, decent gortex gloves and the back protector.
Minimum Helmet boots gloves armored jacket and jeans...aka...the shop run Textiles with full armor if the missus or the boy is on the back...because they won't wear leathers 1 piece suit when its playtime!
For me it's always Full 1 BKS made to measure or 2 piece dainese leathers. Winter or summer. Full face lid. Loving my Arai RX7 at the mo Alphinestars Supertech or Sidi Vortice boots Dainese Full metal summer gloves or Dainses Supercharged winter/spring gloves Dainses Back protector Undercrakers Ear plug
Got a 50mile round trip commute, always full leathers, race boots (ones with decent protection), full length cuff gloves and gillet style back protector. Arai RX7. Wear exactly the same on the track!
Minimum for me is either leather or cordura jacket, gloves, jeans, bike boots. More often than not its leather 1 or 2 piece suit
My gear at the moment 2 piece Dainese T Avro leather suit Sidi Vertigo boots Fast Bikes snood Shoei XR 1100 Skeet Knox Aegis 8 back protector Knox Handroid gloves Held base layers top and bottom Karrimor hiking socks Hoping to get a 1 piece in the summer. Looking at some Spidi suits!
As I have a Multistrada as my road bike, I wear Kevlar jeans nearly alol the time, unless I think it might rain, so it's Dainese D dry textiles. A variety of either textile or leather jackets, always boots and gloves though.
Can anyone recommend a back protector for good money? Ive commuted twice on my new 08 blade and been out on Saturday for a blast with mates. I wear: -Dainese 1 piece -AGV Veloce hemet -Alpinestar SMX boots -Alpinestar gp pro gloves. -Aldi thermals
Knock are great. But there are others on the market. My Kock fits like a waist coat. It has a zip up front.

Have a look at the forcefield back protectors as comfy and have the best protection! A lot of the others are once only use if you've had an off
I like and use forcefield. Am on my second one now, a Pro Sub 4, the first I sold to SimonRR purely as I fancied an upgrade. Try and go to a shop where they know what they are talking about with regards to sizing as a correctly sized one feels a bit weird to start with.
