There's a river boat operator in Riggins who does his guide work in a loin cloth. Eye's forward!

 

If it's really hot my summer outfit is usually kakky shorts and a wife beater with flip flops as the little pointy things on the pegs hurt my bare feet.

 

Here in Kansas we wear a backwards ball cap (pioneer seed or cargill) for headgear, walmart sunglasses for eyewear, a pack of marlboro reds hard pack in each front pocket of our sleeveless pearl button shirts for chest protectors, wrangler jeans with large belt buckles to guard against roadrash and a pair of justin boots for the ultimate in comfort and ankle support..

actually, when riding purely off-road, i always wear motocross boots, riding pants with padded hips, elbow & knee/shin guards, under the jersey chest protector, icon or thor gloves and my dualsport helmet when riding. Even in town i wear my pit/atv boots, gloves and helmet. I always wear either my arnette sunglasses when bright and my yellow lense glasses when dusk or afterdark. Thats in the dirt or on the road. Helps alot with my visibilty.

If you are buying new, ALWAYS look in the closeout section first of the online stores. You can find great gear for great prices if you don't mind riding in last years or the year-before-last styles...

 

I am prepared to crash when I ride, so, I wear it all...except for the neck brace. Probably should get one.

Be selective when picking out chest protectors...some have a nasty characteristic of increasing the risk of clavicular fracture due to their shape...but, a neck brace may fix some of those faults (especially the ones that don't protect from the face guard hitting the clavicle).
