Used to wear nothing on the back of my dad's bike, took a slide wore an unarmored jacket when I bought a bike.
Cut off once, ordered armored mesh and textile.
Group rides, seen a few people go down. Full face helmet and textile only on long trips, mesh around town
Hit ice and slid once, replaced gear with motoport bearable in the hottest heat with the best protection I can afford.
Wore workboots for my 5 mile commute, got cutoff recently wore motorcycle boots always.
