I almost forgot the to post about the gloves. I never ride without them same as the helmet and now the boots.
The upper body armour, knee pads and butt-protector are only used during recreational rides or any ride out of the city.

The thick, woolen lined gloves (Upper red and black pair) are my winter gloves and the lower red pair are the cooler summer gloves (some fake brand).
I'd like to get a better pair but I don't know whether or not tanked gloves will cut it.
Maybe the TCV31??? http://www.tanked-racing.cn/products...assid=16&dis=1
