Summertime, short ride: Jeans, T-shirt, Half-helmet, gloves
Summertime, long ride/inclement weather: Jeans, Joe Rocket Ballistic Jacket, Gloves, Half-helmet (raingear and full face helmet in inclement weather)

Winter, short ride: Jeans, Ballistic Jacket, Gloves, Full-face helmet
Winter, Long ride: Ballistic pants and Jacket (they zip together, it's nice) Full-face helmet, neck gator, glove liner, gloves, wool socks.

I always have on the gloves (Icon Pursuit) because I work with my hands and need to keep them protected, and I always have boots on too, X-element. Don't really understand the shorts and tennis shoes people around here.

I'm in Georgia so it doesn't really get much lower than about 15-20F. I suit-up fully when it's cold in the morning during the winter months. Right now it's around 100F everyday and have only worn my jacket when I was doing a 300mi trip one day. I have a 32.5mi one way trip to work on some country roads, usually cruising at 70mph.
