I wear a Darien jacket, gloves of some sort, selection depends on weather, Nolan helmet... never sandals...
I was wearing my Scorpion AT950 helmet, Joe Rocket Ballistic revolution jacket, rev'it pants, 2x layers of Cabelas thermals and Olympia gore Tex gloves. I don't really like the jacket as it's button front flap scoops the wind, makes your chest cold first and the wrist seals are just an awful idea, but I love the helmet and pants.

My GS1200 lighting sucks ! This might push me over the edge to get some aux lighting on mine.
i have a set of Denali Aux lights that are so bright they make the stock headlight irrelevant. I saw the deer easily. slowed down and went around and hit the ass end of the Third deer to jump out , I jumped it, then landed with the front still sideways, pitching the bike over forward and catapulting me past it.
