    Anyone else a Gear junky?

    Hi everyone,
    I was cruising around for lunch in the middle of our heat wave and was praising my mesh gear. It was about then that I started taking inventory of my growing gear collection. I have gear for heat, gear for rain, gear for cold and everything in between. I ride year round and have purchased gear for all kinds of situations.

    So here is the question...

    What kind of gear do you own?

    Helmet and jacket?
    Chaps, pants, rain gear?

    Talk to me folks! Let me know how you get your fix for your gear habit.

    Re: Anyone else a Gear junky?

    Fieldsheer mesh jacket with removable liner
    Fieldsheer mesh pants

    First Gear textile jacket with removable liner (the one with leather on the elbows and shoulder and good venting)
    Hein Gericke textile pants with knee sliders

    Teknic Chicane leather gloves for not-too-cold-and-not-too-hot weather.
    Teknic waterproof & lined textile gloves for cold/wet weather riding.
    FirstGear mesh gloves for warm weather.

    Teknic Silverstone boots

    And brand new to my collection:
    - Joe Rocket Meteor 4 textile jacket
    - Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0 textile overpants



    Edit:
    I also own a rainsuit, but with the textile gear, I never carry it. And of the warm weather gloves, these are what I'm currently using. I've since retired some Joe Rocket Phoenix 1 gloves and several other pairs of lightweight gloves that were closer to MX gloves than street gloves.

    Re: Anyone else a Gear junky?

    I can't seem to stop buying gear. I have seven jackets:
    Power Trip
    2 First Gear
    3 Joe Rocket (2 Lotus and 1 Phoenix)
    Dainese

    rain suit (First Gear)

    helmets:
    Arai
    Icon
    Z1R

    pants:
    perforated Joe Rocket leather
    First Gear (really hot but with a neat pocket) full leather
    pink Icon chaps

    boots:
    Sidi Rose boots
    Dainese race boots

    Z Custom track suit

    and at least six pairs of gloves.

    Plus dirt gear. And three kids. And their gear.


    I think I just might have too much gear, though - today I wore two different gloves. Same Joe Rocket style, but different colors - had to go back into the house for something, grabbed them from the cabinet on the way out. Since they're the same style and I've had them the same amount of time(ish), they don't feel any different. Didn't notice until I got to work and took them off. Ooops.

    Man I need some of your guys cash.

    Ok now that we see the list of nice gear everyone owns, where do you live? Exact address would be nice, oh and size would help.

    Did I mention that I need a one piece?
