I havent gotten to ALL the gear yet but helmet,good gloves Armored jacket long pants (jeans typically) and good boots I dont leave without. It DOES feel good with just a T shirt instead of the jackets - they are hot even though they are mesh and my friends ride without a helmet unless it's raining or weather is bad..Dont ride dirt but have no qualms about shall we say 'enthusiastic' riding.That and swarms of bugs,wildlife and in Colorado we have "free range' farm animals to be aware of.
Good on you for having that gear on and best wishes for you healing quickly.
