Don't know about you Lozzo but back in the 70's/80's & early 90's I wore leather jacket, gloves, helmet, jeans and trainers all the time unless it was a long run out. Jeans and trainers today but tomorrow will be different coz its a long run out.
Times have changed I guess, and for the better but if based on probabilities is it a version of 'elf and saafty the we are all subscribing to?
I'm not suggesting anyone does any different than what they've been taught, or what they're comfortable with. As someone has already said, each to their own.
P.S. You'd never catch me without gloves. That's the hardest skin graft to take, or jacket for similar reasons.
