I am amazed  no one has lowered the tone in here to list Condoms in there protective gear.

 

Or as bikers do we accept that as part of the risk when we ride....

Consider the tone suitably lowered.

Does the tent counts? 

[S-Westerly]

Don't think so. Can't ride a bike wearing a tent. What's the slide time?
