Full helmet, ear plugs, leather jacket, leather gloves, combat boots - 100%
Chaps, kevlar jeans (rear and knees) - 95% (The other 5% I just wear jeans.)
Fortunately most of my riding is in Minnesota and Wisconsin and 99.99% on rural highways. The heat is not an issue. I may not be able to ride year round like the S. CA boys, but in the last 5 years I have been in one traffic jam.

I live in OH. No helmet law if you have had a mc license more than 1 year. Scorpion Full Face helmet. I strongly believe it's your head, so it's your choice. I sometimes ride with helmetless friends and they have always been respectful of my choice.

50/45 going without or wearing 1/2...the other 5% is when I wear my FXRG FF.
Going to try out a 3/4th.

Skid lid all the time. I know it's not much, but it's better than nothing. I hate the parachute effect and mushroom look of most helmets. I have added padding to mine and it has some really good straps.
