    I have black cordura pants, a blue & black cordura jacket, a maroon helmet and a red bike. So colourwise its a mess.

    Medium term plan to get some new stuff that matches abit better. Wont catch me looking like the above repsol pic though.

    Whatever sinks your boat brother.

    My bike is black but I don't really dig black riding gear but mostly my rain gear is in black as it just happens to be the most popular colour on the market.

    But my favourite colour is blue, so I have a blue helmet, a blue textile jacket and blue gloves.

    Look, it's a personal choice.

    Having matching gear isn't gonna make you a better rider.

    Plus, it's really women and metrosexuals that are into matching panties and bras.

    (not that it's a bad thing)

    not being funny but leather is way hotter than cordura in the summer (with the thermal lining removed)!

    'Cirus' helmet
    'Fieldsheer' jacket
    'Neo' gloves
    'DriRider' pants
    'Sympatex' boots
    'Honda CB400' bike

    .....all black. Not planned that way. It just sort of happened.

    Mrs Oakie's gear (including bike) is all different brands too but once again ...all in black except for her helmet (white)

    Nope gear doesnt match, i wear either jeans/camo and a repsol jacket that the misses gave me.
    Easiest way to tell me is the ruffed up matt black shoei.
    I dream of matching gear but money doesn't come in like that.

    I plan to get some red glamoflage draggins, they don't really match anything

    My bike is black, you can pretty much get away wearing any colour. The old bike was purple and it was queer enough without going as far as getting matching leathers

    Do you wear textile jacket and pants, or leather jacket and pants??

    I have a really nice textile jacket and looking for pants, but am looking toward leather pants. Or should I go with textile all round and look at getting a full set of leathers later on down the track????

    How say you?
    I wouldn't wear anything but a leather jacket but I'm just an old-school type. Jeans and sometimes some woolies and tour with wets in the saddle bags or strap em to the back seat for short trips in dodgey weather.

    I must admit I've been looking at leather pants but can't handle the Benny Hill squeaking that goes with them. (Ever seen him in leather? Funny-as....)

    I know leather is heavy and hot in summer but it's protection for my elbow skin, which matches my ball bag skin so I don't want it damaged.
