Never the less, at 45 years old and 31 years riding, I'll leave it to someone else to decide if I qualify on either count.
Helmet - KBC FFR modular (awesome helmet)
Cold weather, extended fall/spring trips - HD FXRG leather jacket and pants, heavy leather with a waterproof liner, full zip out quilted liner, armour and plenty of vents for airflow on warmer days
warm weather - HD convertible ballistic nylon jacket, Icon ballistic nylon pants (forget the model, had them quite awhile)
Boots - Canadian Army issue combat boots (longer trips), Georgia Boot Company Giant Wellington (quick on/off boot for short trips)
Gloves - too many to mention
The HD gear that I have is top notch quality and I've had most of for at least 10-15 years, it is expensive if you pay full price but I purchased all mine from the bargain bin/rack at HD dealerships all across North America for 50-75% off.
How is the KBC for noise? I'm looking for something quieter than my HJC.

I've had it since 2005 and if I remember correctly (getting old) it wasn't really any louder than my HJC but the tone was slightly different. Not a big deal to me as I never ride more than 10km without earplugs.
