    When I started again about a year ago I was wearing Jeans, a hoodie and some street shoes. The only specific thing was my new helmet.
    With time passing bye I invested in some Jerseys (O'Neal, Scott), proper trousers for summer, spring and winter rides (Endura), gloves for summer and winter (100%), a jacket for cold rainy days (Fox) and some shoes for flat padels (O'Neal). When I approached the first bike park I got some knee and shoulder pads (O'Neal). Just recently after some very muddy rides I bought some MTB glasses (Kapvoe, based on Blakes recomendation 😁).
    My wife was mocking about this quite a bit, until she started jogging again, and got some new pants here, some shirts and a jacket there, a small hip bag, and and and 😉

    Shorts and short sleeve jerseys. Along with some flat pedal shoes and an open faced helmet. I live in Kansas and starting in a couple of months, it's going to get hot. So I also have some Under Armour shirts to wear under the jersey. I have winter gear as well, including goggles. Right now I just use the goggles and a balaklava if I'm going to deal with wind in the winter.
