I ride with shorts and jeans around the neighborhood occasionally but I am stupid. They always say most accidents happen with in a few miles of your home.

When I ride to work or on the highway I try to wear my Dainse mesh pants and jacket. Even in the heat / sometimes it is actually cooler on a longer ride. The hot air and sun will get you on a hour or longer ride. I have a hard time wearing the full face helmet in the heat. I bought a 3/4 with a full face screen that is almost tolerable and will provide some protection.

I wear Sliders. Agree with the lack of protection from standard jeans.
