All the gear, all the time???

ATGATT. The folks I ride with get so annoyed, they're ready to go while I'm strapping on this or that. I've occasionally ridden without a jacket, but as others have mentioned its just uncomfortable. Like driving without my seatbelt, I just don't feel protected. Mesh helps in summer. Boots and gloves are a huge must for me. I ride to hiking destinations so I often bring my hiking boots but always change on arrival. I have a scorpion exo900, so its full face or 3/4 depending on how hot it is.
I will make a correction, I don't own any riding pants. I have rain pants but they are much too warm for my commute and don't have any armor (though they are very thick textile, I would say significantly more protection than standard leather chaps). Any suggestions on an affordable, 3 season pant that can be worn over jeans (I'm vegan, so textile is a must, but all suggestions welcome)?

You are not going to eat them lol

You are in Cinti. i suggest riding out to sport tour near tri county mall and looking at their rack of textile riding and over pants and see what appeals to you. You can try them on and they are as cheap as anywhere I think. Plus nice guys

Gotta love this forum
