same mindset as you.
it takes times to put on all the gears before can even ride off
it may not be as cooling as not wearing a safety jacket (I don't really feel hot, got used to it)
BUT sweating is much better than bleeding/bone fracture
and spending more time putting on the gears is much better than spending time in the hospital.

I'm AGATT all the time even when i ride to work. unless i'm go out to nearby shops to tapau - i'll put on my lighter weight ride jacket and use my mountain bike knee guard.

not sure if you consider this is full gear or not. Other than my fullface helmet, this is what i wear when i ride.

This is why i AGATT all the time.
You'll never know when shit will happen.

at times I get teased , and some will give me the "you are such a show off" look.

I know one guy in my office, quite a close friend before this - he laughed and teased me when he saw me putting on the safety gears at the office car park.
Know what, about a year later , he had a bike accident. His knee hit the tarmac and his kneecap fractured. Other than this injury, he had those usual bike injuries such as road rash, etc.

I was so tempted to remind him of that day he laughed and made fun of me for wearing full gears.

LOL.

i guess some people can predict when accidents will happen.
that's why they dare to ride without safety gears.

I don't have this ability to predict. Hence AGATT.

These shoes are comfy enough to wear the whole day , especially when it is seasoned. And it still provide enough protection. I wear this in the office and go jalan jalan.

If I'm not wrong the model is TCX Mood. And it's waterproof as well. Go check it out.

most riders do not have this concern.

call you a pussy
or make fun of you by saying "you going racing?"
or say "so scared then better don't ride".

You may have good skills.
but on a public road you are not alone. There are road users with no skills.

dandanfireman always say riders must put their high ego aside when riding on a public road. We are not the only road users.

you just need one donkey to make you crash.

Bro
Protect your knees as well.

If you remember the story I shared, my buddy fractured his kneecap just from a simple fall from his motorbike.

Awesome

for curved surface on my helmet, I use this epoxy putty to mold the exact shape of the helmet curve and my gopro mount surface.

some recent reviews says that DJI Osmo Action 3 is much better than Gopro.
(and cheaper)

I didn't stick it directly onto the helmet

Use 3m heavy duty double sided tape on both sides.
Still holding, almost 4 years now.

I biasa already.
I'm wearing a relatively light weight helmet ( rpha70).
With the helmet cam and intercom, no more light weight. But used to it, so no issues.

The velcro straps will become longer over the time. Don't worry. Just make sure it doesn't come off easily.

Don't bother about how others look at you. Because it's anything happen and you are not ATGATT, that will not be there to help you.

How to close all the way when the strap is there?

Close all the way means closed until the visor clip locks and have water tight lid.

Treat the money you spend in safety gears as an insurance.


This is how I look at it.

Sorry.
But you sure you bought ori Komine?

I'm still wearing this jk103 since 2016. Wear it daily Monday to Friday as I ride to work.
Zippers and velcro all still working fine.
I bought it from motogear.

The holographic tag is embedded onto the jacket, next to or below the label on the jacket.

If don't have, most likely it's not original

Next time for the peace of mind, just buy from authorized sellers.
Motogear, Motoworld, LSH, etc.

Too many fakes are sold over the internet and worse of all, they are not cheap either.

That's why I stop going into these shops unless I really have things to buy

Scared every time go see look see look, something will follow me back.
