Do you guys who commute to work and ride around shortish trips during the day wear all your protective gear for every trip? Helmet (obviously), boots, gloves, jacket, pants, neck brace, etc?

Where do you put everything when you get to work or to the shops?

Helmet obviously, jacket yes, gloves only when it's wet or cold

don't have boots, special pant, neck brace?? :wtf:
 
I don't have pants or a neck brace but the rest goes on almost every time.
 
I wear helmet, jacket and gloves everytime.

Steer-by-wire on a motorbike sound adventurous. I definitely won't be getting any 1st-Gen products with that though.

Just realised what I quoted before excludes vat. It's R2700 including vat...

Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, Boots always. I've bliksemed off enough to never go without those.

In summer I ride with jeans day to day but full leathers on spirited rides or track days that aren't commuting.

Winter in have Alphinestars over pants.

Never done a neck brace, probably never will.

Before my BMW with the top box in simply carried it all with me. Now my helmet and gloves stay with the bike and I throw jacket over chair.

My boots and I became one many years ago so they don't bother me.

I don't know how one can be physically comfortable not wearing gloves.

I can only imagine it's because you are using welding gloves or some other non-bike option?

The grips were designed to be used with gloves so are too thin otherwise and lead to hand cramps.

I've even got Grip Puppies on my BMW to make them even thicker.

Beyond that my gloves are the most important parts of my livelihood after my brain so I would never risk damaging them.

Having come off with full race gloves and seeing that damage there is not a chance I would forego those.

In order of priority it would be Helmet > Gloves > Boots > Jacket > Pants for me.

And I guess you can just drape your jacket over your chair at work or something?

No pants but you wear boots :D

Yup. They stop my work pants flapping around and catching on footrests etc

It's absolutely your choice. It's just completely inconceivable to me.

Have you ever crashed a bike? Or even a bicycle at speed for that matter?

Same for me. Full race gloves because without my hands i can't work

Jeez tell me about it. Bloody pants hooking on pegs as you put your foot down.

Then there are crazy people riding boots with laces. NOPE.
