Commuters that ride 5-10 miles one way, going 30-60mph, what are you guys wearing for commuting gear?
How are you balancing convenience, comfort, and safety, especially in the heat? Right now, I am wearing torso protection, shoulders and elbows, gloves + palm protection, knee + shin, and hip + thigh + tailbone protection.
Do you wear a two piece or one piece and change at work, into your work clothes, or do you also have these small several pieces like me that you take off at work?
Do you keep anything underneath while at work?
My biggest problem is honestly just my leg protection (hip, tailbone, and thighs) underneath my pants while at work for 8-10 hours. My work requires me to be active. I get hot in my upper legs and there’s little breathability out the sides of the legs where the hip and thigh pads are. I get big ass sweat spots on the sides of my underwear where all the pads are at.
I’m thinking about not wearing my upper leg protection during the summer, but I still feel too sketchy to not wear them while riding. It’s kind of inconvenient to take my upper leg protection off during my work hours, since I gotta take my pants completely off, but maybe I should just start doing that lol.
