What does everyone wear when riding?

Helmet, gloves, work boots, goggles(not always worn), shorts or jeans depending on the weather and a pack full of water and some basic tools to fix almost anything on a trail..

haha thats when you dont have anything important in your head so if you knock it silly its no big loss! near the end of varsity however, you start to actually acquire some knowledge!...i think...
 
I have some Answer Racing Rockstar over the boot pants. I have some Alpine Stars Tech 2 ATV boots. I have some Fly Racing gloves, an open face helmet, Oakley over the glasses goggles. I wont ride in a short sleeve shirt. So I always wear a hoodie, and I always have my camelback on me when Im riding too cause it carries my tools, and my water :)

Gotta have your gear on man. Gotta.
 
Put me in the "all of the gear, all of the time" camp.

helmet
goggles
gloves
full boots
Alpinestars flack jacket with spine guard/shoulders
heavy off-road enduro type pants
jersey
water pack

Because of my need for speed, I adhere to the "dress for the fall" approach to riding regardless of the weather.....which means always wearing:

MX Boots
Helmet w/ face protection
Gloves
chest protector

Good luck!

Wife went to Vegas and went a place called cycle gear and bought just about all that. She was going to order on line at some discount place but was told you must try on the clothes so that the pads line where they should. With a salemans help they set her up, she thought the pants were a little short but was told thats the way those are supposed to fit. I gotta run out there next.
 
I wear comfy jeans a helmet my hard toed workboots and on ocasion fly gloves when I ride dirtbikes I like to wear my thor mx1 boots, green fly pants, gloves and my helmet and a baggy white T-shirt and nothing else causeit gets to hot and I can ride longer.
