>>2572681>Riding boots walk shitty, riding jackets are armored (heavy) and too warm. You can use hiking boots for riding but offer very limited protection in the slide and no armor on the ankle and shin to protect from a footpeg or a hot exhaust also laces and shift levers love to get tangled Yeah most boots for riding are, though you can get ADV boots which once you break them in DESU they are pretty comfy and walk fine, would you get blistered to fuck if you walked in them all day for a few days? Fuck yeah but thats not the point
Jackets if you are doing Out riding, you are not using a jacket. Those armored jackets are for like, road riding, if you are doing single track shit, all you really need for armor is helmet, knee guards, boots and thats about it, 99.99999% of the times you 'crash' are you falling over on technical crap doing like....less then 10.
>You can't take a lot with, you space and weight is at a premium on the bike.Thats not true, i can only assume then you have had bad experiences because you can easy load a bike up with a 40L pack system, not counting tank, fender and back pack, you can even edjust the shock to carry a 80L pack if you really want to.
>When you walk you can't lock anything away. Maybe you have some nice lockable cases on your bike but most likely you're jacket and helmet will be in the tent.Same can be said about a car, which besides, the idea of going /out/ on a bike is to get WAY away from people.
>Your camping will be extremely barebones (no chair, small tent, limited cooking arrangement)See above you can carry a LOT more then you think you can. I hike with a 40l pack and carry all the cooking equipment i need for 3days with a 2 person tent, AND a portable wood burning stove for hot camping.
