i rode in my 1 piece suit today for pretty much the 1st time on the road and really didn't enjoy them.

My usual attire is jeans, boots and textile or leather jacket. (obviously a helmet too.)

I've just bought myself an armour undersuit as the armour in my jackets (both Alpinestars) isn't honestly very good.

I just prefer the sense of freedom you get in jeans etc...

You ?
I'm a 2 piece guy with good armor and a decent helmet, boots and gloves. I'd wear a one piece but I'd feel like a tool on the street. I've been looking for some cooler but protective textile gear. I used to ride in jeans and a jacket/boots/gloves and I liked the freedom but I'm stupid on a bike and feel like the better gear gives me more freedom to be stupid!

Helmet kbc airforce ,icon short gloves, harley leather boots ,icon tmax pants on road trips, jeans around town,power trip powermonger jacket (sleeves zip off ) I also have an icon hooligan leather jacket have only worn once on the Duke .
Helmet - Shoei Diabolic

Jacket - Feildshier leather or tex jacket depending on the heat. I like Fieldsheer because I think the armor is great for the price and the arms seem longer than most. I have spider monkey arms.

Jeans - garden variety. I wish someone would make an armored jean that is slim fit. I hate baggy jeans that flap around in the wind.

A-stars SM-X short boots.

Shift Streetfighter shorty gloves.

I wear two piece Teknic leathers & GP gloves and Sidi Vertebra boots when I'm out riding for keeps.

I just rode with a guy who had this on, and he was COLD when I was sweltering (94 degrees & humid):

If weather clement, Johnny can be seen modelling the latest leather and textile jacket from Icon Moto, the "Strongarm 13". This daring jacket is usually worn with Wolf leather jeans. When doing a track day, Johnny prefers a Wolf zip together 2 piece leather and for days when the weather is inclement, Johnny likes to drive his fookin' car....
