    I wear an IXON one piece perf race suit on most days out......IXON RS pro HP gloves, Under armour based layer that keeps you cool in the summer and a cold weather one in winter with thermal tights. TCX RT race boots.

    On the odd occasion I'll wear jeans with a textile jackets if I'm just nipping out. I've also just acquired a Fully armoured textile waterproof/windproof jacket and trousers from RK Sports. Not expensive stuff by any means but I'll only use it once in a blue moon, just gives me the flexibility to get out if its cold (if it rains I'm covered):rolleyes:.....didn't want to shell out too much. I'm seriously impressed with the quality, fully lined, full removable thermals, decent armour, nicely fitted and not all baggy :)

    For my daily commute, nothing beats the Richa Atlantic Goretex jacket and trousers + Alpinestars Web Goretex boots (keeps fairly cool on crazy 30+C days and nice and warm on chilly winter -2C days). Gloves on the other hand (well, both hands) are proving to be a nightmare (I must have at least 8 different pairs). I've been using Richa goretex gloves but they aren't warm enough for those cold mornings of late (-2 C yesterday morning) - my finger tips go numb after about 10 mins of riding at reasonable pace on the A20 into London. So I took the plunge and bought a pair of the Gerbing XRL heated gloves (and a 2 Ah battery pack). These are ok, but it can be a bit like riding a bike in boxing gloves. Indicating is ok, but any finer controls are a bit tricky, and opening and locking my visor closed on my Shoei hat is frustrating. I don't have heated grips on my blade but maybe that's the answer..

    For weekend rides when the weather's nice I've got a 2 piece Richa set. I guess I like Richa, just need them to do a bit of R&D and then it'll be my name stamped across my back..

    Well I've bought a set of Held 2 piece leathers. Not had any Held stuff before apart from gloves but if the suits are anything like the gloves it should be sound.

    A BKS two piece that I’ve had since I was younger and slimmer, That now doesn’t zip up all the way at the flies. I like to show off how fat I’ve got whilst riding :D

    Too much 'name brand' stuff here. I'm steering well clear to save embarrassment over my 'Mega Mart' specials.:(

    I've owned mega mart specials, nowt wrong with them either, still got me oxford one piece & gloves which were bought at the nec for £100, most comfortable tbh, some review reckon there crap but I reckon nearly 10k has been done in them, all zips etc still working, got some IXS 2 pieces leather & textile from J&S aswell which are heavy and very stiff so they don't come get the use they should.

    Just got a one piece dainese laguna seca D4 perforated suit, its fine in summer, i dont mind getting hot, in winter, I have oxford thermals, plus a tshirt, sweatshirt, and if its really cold, i found a zip hoody that will fit over the top

    I like leather too much to buy textiles, but probably want a two piece non-perforated suit too
