I chuckle a little when i see someone with a full suit on with a high viz jacket and high viz vest over that with chaps over textile pants and huge mx boots with every other piece of equipment on but i know why they do it and agree that its safe. I wear my gear all the time as well but not to the extreame as some. I mainly wear a full face but sometimes a 3/4 with visor when its real hot. I always have a jacket wheather its leather, mesh or textile, got them all. I always wear gloves and always boots. Not hikers or work boots, dedicated riding boots. NO sneakers ever! I wear the ones that are very suptle with non slip soles and ankle support with sliders built in. I always wear jeans. No chaps, learhers or textile on the bottom but my jeans i wear are either kevlar sliders or iron workers specific for riding. They come with kevlar panels and knee pads which are low key. So all in all i wear the gear but i dont go nuts and dont want to look like im about to do a moon walk, lol. I like to wear low key somewhat matching and somewhat stylish gear.
I find the store brand stuff from competition accessories to be very good quality for the money. They have decent riding pants and jeans called sliders and cycle gear has built iron workers which are very nice for the money considering some of their other stuff is less than par. I have them both and they have held up for several years.
