I'm an all the gear all the time type. Also at least with cow hide I decided that while I would rather not wear it, it's a small part of something that got eaten.
I've always found protective gear to be an interesting subject, in part I suspect because there are so many variables.
I got some leather/textile gloves from Aldi or lidl in the past (I got some base layers from one and jacket, trousers and gloves from the other. The left glove ripped apart during a mod1 lesson while I was using the clutch, a seem came undone in the trousers as well and while I patched it up I haven't used them above 30mph since.
