Depends on the day.  I have summer fabric kit (IXS,airflow) winter fabric (Hein Gerike) kit and a set of Scott leathers.  I also have open face, full face and flip helmets.

Not getting on too well with my flip lid though.  It is a Nolan N104 and after an hour or so it's not comfortable.  The first hour is fine but then it starts to squeeze my face.  I have put thinner cheek pads in to no avail.  It is also very noisy - in fact I find it quieter with the front open.  I'll persevere on a few short journeys for a while but have a feeling it will never be an all day helmet for me.

I recently bought a bmw system 6. It's very quiet but squeezes my cheeks a little too much for my liking. Also it has an annoying habit of pushing down into my brow. It's light, quiet & well made but it's definitely not the most comfortable helmet I've owned.

I thought I'd try some new summer boots- something I could wear for work without having to change.  I ended up buying a pair of Forma Mito boots. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Forma-Mito-Boot ... 3aa609c64e
What a cracking pair of boots they are! The quality inside & out is excellent- so comfortable I can wear them all day in the office no problem. Fully waterproof too. If anyone has been considering such a boot for work or just for summer riding- these are definitely worth a try for the money.
