What to wear?

[NEWACRIDER]

My garage... while I was home!!! They broke into my truck, took the remote for the garage, and took both riding gear bags (mine and hubby's) but left the kid- sized gear.... They also took some expensive tools! We had only been living in this house about 2 months... I got the alarm system hooked up to the roll up garage door too the next day! The scary part was, the door from the garage to the house wasn't even locked, they could have come right in! If they had they could have met my German Shepherds (who never barked, BTW) And we might have gotten our gear back! LOL

Dang Monica, that sucks. I'd be sooo scared. Do you still live there?

[NEWACRIDER]

Sorry to get off topic... but Yeah, I still live here... like I said, I added sensors to the big garage door, don't leave the remote in my truck in the driveway, and added a security camera to the front of my house... I had a peeping tom episode not long ago, (thru the mail slot in the garage door) that I also added a box to so that noone can see in. I set the alarm everynight before bed... and when I am gone for more than a few minutes... I used to be able to not even lock the doors around here, I grew up 3 blocks away... so sad.

i always wear riding boots/pants/helmet/goggle/gloves. If it's cold then i'll wear my jersey but most of the time i have a t-shirt on.

[wheeler0801]

ohhh i tried a tank top once. the ending wasn't pretty. I wrecked trying to jump a double for the first time. ended up with dirt rash up my arm and across my back from the tumble....

props to you dune!

[fox300exchic]

Geesh Monica! A peeping tom? That would really freak me out. So have you had any problems since you installed the alarms and camera and stuff?

[NEWACRIDER]

No, no problems lately... :rolleyes:

[wheeler0801]

yey, good to hear so...for gear, what colors does everyone wear?

as you can guess, i totally rock the pink:

[fox300exchic]

At the moment...mine is black red and white. I use to have black and white pants and black and pink jersey.

[NEWACRIDER]

Red black and white Fox gear, except my boots which are Red/Black O'Neil...

[wheeler0801]

lets see some pictures

[fox300exchic]

Here is a pic of me with my red,black and white pants and my pink and black jersey. I think my red jersey was dirty or something. Dont have one with my red jersey on.

[ALLYRATT]

I wear Thor and ARC, yellow and black and white, and boots are SWIFT(black)

[dunerider07]

[wheeler0801]

yeahh ladies everyone's gear is awesome. looks great :)

[CountryGirl91]

I normally wear jeans, Ariat boots, and a tank top. I sometimes wear my jersey, depending on where I'm riding. I haven't been able to get into the whole MX boots- just isn't for me but I wear a helmet when racing and when I know I'll be doing some jumps, etc.

[Ghost420guy]

Jeans an boots with glasses, only wear shirts and helmets at the OHV parks :kittenhate:

[jeeptuff]

Full on gear with the exception of chest protectors, everyone behind me has them on though

[Outlander]

I usually wear the t-shirt I have on in this photo with my riding pants, boots, glove, goggles and sometimes a dust mask and helmet of course and a chest protectorhttp://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss25/Hodie_2009/Facebook/Poker%20Ride/413187_10152052263680651_478460953_o.jpg' alt='413187_10152052263680651_478460953_o.jpg'>[/img]

Nice pic I always get jealous of the snow pics. Where I live it doesn't snow, it always seems to be ice.

I wear riding boots, pants, knee/shin guards, elbowpads, a neck collar, chest protector, helmet, goggles, gloves and a t-shirt or jersey. I know everyone has their own thing, but I can't help skakin' my head and thinking bad thoughts when I see somebody ride by in a pair of cut off shorts and flip-flops.

I ride with all the gear ^^^ wylde wears And this year I will be sportin a wrist brace !!

[marioweldinginc]

I wear helmet,goggles,riding gloves, chest protector, work boots, work pants ,long sleeve t shirt.

When things settle down I am buying new gloves, scott goggles, ratchet boots, thor impact SE. Possibly a neck guard. I seem to be partial to Thor equipment but i hate their goggles.

What is the importance of wearing a riding jersey and pants? I dont wear them but see alot of people ride with them. Do I need them?

The pants have protection built into them and are usually made of materials that are more resistant to the dirt and water. Along with having areas of ventilation to keep you cool, They stretch and flex better too. I kinda compare it this way, You can wear a pair of skinny jeans to go to the gym and work out, but you will be uncomfortable and limited in what you can do.

[marioweldinginc]

Gotcha. Ok next question how do you size yourself for riding pants/jerseys? Also who makes the best bang for the buck. Although Fox stuff is nice, i cant justify the price for wjat little riding I do. Any other suggestions. I dont like Thors selection...to uhh colorful for me..

My riding pants have a leather inseam to prevent me from burning my leg on my exhaust pipe ! plus my knee pads wont fit in to jeans !!

I wear the same size riding pants as my regular pants. The jersey I wear the same size too, but depending on the size of your chest protector you may want to go a size bigger. I just wear a small chest protector now, but I used to wear full body armor, for that I had to go up a size. Where to get it is another story when I started out I just searched closeouts to find my size. Rocky Mountain, Dennis Kirk, Bob's Cycle, Ebay.

I recently bought a new dust mask " The Wolf snout" $19.99 online @ wolfsnout.com and really like it! My prior dust masks would be too hot and fog up my glasses and goggles. Just a lil info for anyone looking for a new one. Check out their video to see how it works on their website.

[amandaroepke]

I always wear a helmet and goggles. Helmet, Gloves, riding suit, good sheos, protectors for safty. It is comfortable. But depends on the weather. Sometime i have used atv riding suit.
