Kidding me? I ride in shorts and t-shirt just around the neighborhood. But how can you do serious hwy. riding without full gear on? I've never gone down at speed, but I surely would have when I rode through a swarm of bees a while back, had I not been totally covered in proper gear. It's 100 deg. here every day and it's not uncomfortable at all in full gear, as long as I'm not in stop and go traffic. You could easily survive a nasty fall without full gear on. But I'd fear the skin grafts and recovery more than dying.
