If im Riding to my headquarters base which is about 10.5 miles away...i pack my uniform in my back pack and change in our locker room...I rarely ride it to my reporting station as I either take the car on shitty day or ride my bicycle due to it only being about half a mile from where i live...but otherwise anytime im out...all my gear all the time...its saved my ass twice.....ill for sure keep it all on...my leather jacket doesnt get that hot as its perforated...so its no different then wearing a tee shirt to me...
