This was an eye opening excercise!
1 flip front.
1 full face.
1 open face for campervan bike (well ventilated, flip down inner visor so comfortable in hot weather) eventually realised it was a CHIPS/Village People style and havent worn it since.
1 open face for workshop/short test runs (cheap Aldi Jet style).
1 enduro full face with peak.
Rukka jacket and trousers (technically brilliant).
Shoei leather jacket (favourite although well worn).
1 Triumph ventilated leather jacket (lots of mini hole punch holes in it so its great on hot days) may knock the Shoei of its perch as its great on hot days.
1 Triumph kevlar denim jacket cool in the heat but poor fit so its on its way out.
Three pairs of kevlar lined jeans. 2 dragin and one triumph (favourit although well worn).
Mesh enduro/trail jacket with waterproof liner, works great with body armour off road.
No name cordura chepo jacket and trousers, kept in locker at work incase weather catches me out.
Sidi enduro boots
BMW touring boots (favourit although well worn but still never ever leaked).
TCX boots, good comfortable fit and reputation but never worn yet due to still using BMW boots.
Triumph shoe style bike footwear. Handy for campervan bike as serve as robust walking shoes.
Various different sets of gloves, stopped counting at 10 pairs. Mainly use belstaff waterproof, after using these I went back and bought the remaining stock (four pairs) as they are so good. Also three pairs of belstaff summer gloves that are brilliant. Just bought a pair of Lidl/Aldi gloves although I have no real need for them yet.
Heated vest, inner gloves and insoles (rarely used due to fairweather riding).
Waterproof over jacket (jcs), great performance when used over the Shoei leather jacket, so good I bought another one when I was last there incase the original one started to fail and they stopped making them. Waterproof one piece (jcs again).
And thats enough I think.
I have bought and given away other kit as it did not suit me for one reason or another. The stuff I have all has its place and works well.
Overkill? probably, but its my hobby.
Quite frightening though when you add it up.
