The best I could do, to convince my adult son to wear gloves, saved his hands on his first spill!
I ride with either Daniese leather jacket or Klim Badlands gear, DOT / Snell lid, and the best gloves I can afford. I've also got a couple of different sets of riding boots. I won't even get on the bike unless I've got this gear around my body.
I've been down, and I've been severely injured - by the failure to wear QUALITY gear which would have made a huge difference to old injuries that I still suffer from. How you 'look' is utterly irrelevant to me - how the gear you wear works and protects you means everything (to me).
Teaching my kid how to ride and I've also been picking up gear for him too. It doesn't have to match or be pretty, but it does have to work.
