Not sure about a helmet, but a floppy hat for the sun and rain (I hate rain on my bald head)

What are you wearing when you get off the bike?
one pot only, no plate, eat out of the pot
are you carrying any food?
lighter

thanks folks, think i have everything covered.i'm trying out my new tent well new to me , mountain hardware cant remember the model but it's much heavier and bulkier than my akto ,but lots more room .
i tell you how these ultra light guys do it is a total mystery to me,at one time i had four panniers packed and i was cutting back. anyway i think i'm sorted soon find out if not.
