I think we're talk'n about "verbage" here... the question, I think should have been, how much gear is enough for you...

I'm not sure how FULL GEAR can mean anything other than just that... completely geared up...

some people choose to just wear Helmet, Jacket, and gloves for their gear and some Jeans and boots or shoes... my self included sometimes... and that may be enough for them to feel safe enough to ride... but it's still not full gear by definition.

I was wearing A* Cargo's when I went down , some knee armor, and A* SMX4's... had I been wear'n jeans and tennis shoes I'd have a broken leg/ankle... and some nice rash...
