[Fawlty]

I too always wear armoured jacket and trousers, boots, gloves and full face helmet, even in the heat of the Spanish summer. I have summer and winter kit. In the summer I wear shorts under the armoured trousers, so I can slip the trousers off if I am doing any walking. Bit of a pain, but not so much pain as possible injuries from a fall.

I am almost 64 now, and one thing is for sure, as you get holder, you don't heal as well or as quickly as you can when you're 24!
