Default Gear?

So what's everyone sporting for gear?

I'm rocking a HJC Paradox helmet with mirrored visor, Icon Hella textile jacket, Icon 29er Gloves, and Vega Matrix boots. No pants yet -can't seem to find a pair I like.

I wear an HJC AC-12 Carbon Fiber Ben Spies edition. For cool weather I wear a Cycloak textile jacket and First Gear HT over pants. For warm weather I wear Hein Gericke perforated textile jacket and Field sheer perforated textile pants (it gets hot here in the summer) Boots are Sidi Vortex. I have 3 pairs of gloves, I choose which ever works the best for the weather that day. I'd have to say the pair I use most often are the Komodo's.
