I spent $600 to outfit myself in gear, and that was with me already owning boots and gettng a deep dish discount from the store I bought the bike from. That being said, I am as safe as one can possibly be riding a bike by having the proper gear.
And I look freaking fantastic!
Armored nylon is way cheaper than leather clothing, although I can’t speak to abrasion resistance comparisons.
