i just feel much safer in my gear. i couldnt imagine doing the highway ride i did yesterday without gear. bugs hitting me at 70 would HURT without my jacket and FF helmet. got hit on the knuckle by something as well, but barely felt it thanks to my gloves.

i hope i never have to find out if my gear will save my skin, but i wear it all the time just to make sure i do save as much as i can. i wont be comfortable without it! but if you are comfortable in just a helmet, thats ok too. as long as youre comfy!
