I always wear proper gear but it did feel strange coming back from work today. I had an R1 pull up beside me at the lights wearing shorts and T shirt then I saw a girl walking the streets wearing a bikini which nearly caused me to crash my bike into the car in front.

I have a pair of the K7....excellent fit and you adjust the length to suit your boots or whatever. Very well made and excellent protection against burns and they look like normal jeans. Take a look

All the gear, all the time.

Regardless of how far you go or how hard you ride.

Falling off may have nothing to do with how or where you were riding.

Loads of guys at work have started coming in in their shorts/t-shirts/jeans/trainers. Slightly worse seeing as all of them have had offs in the last couple of years.

"But it's so uncomfortable wearing proper gear!" (said with a cheeky chappie "of course this is a magic t-shirt/pair of shorts that makes me immune to falling off" grin)

"Yeah, and so is walking around with most of your skin missing".

Anyone seen the ad about the plastic tubing filled with water that sits around your neck and has a hand pump to "spray" you down inside the jacket?

Sounds obscene, but I wondered if anyone had found it useful?
