Is that an exhaust burn?
I am a pretty solid follower of ATGATT.
Helmet, gloves, long pants 100% no exception.
Jacket and boots 99%.
There is the rare exception I run down the street in my neighborhood without my jacket. Last time I did that, I didn't like having my t-shirt flopping in the wind. Same goes for boots. I never wear athletic shoes because the shifter hurts the top of my foot, but last time I had my hikers on I nearly dumped my bike when my shoe lace got caught on the shifter. I had come to a stop already and had to think quick to shift my weight and get my right foot to the ground. Riding in laced shoes has pretty much been eliminated since then.
I have a pair of armored jeans and some ankle high riding boots I wear on shorter rides or when I'm going to walk around some off the bike.
