None, climate issues where I am make them more of a liability/hazard than an asset and let's face it - i'm not all that worried about protective gear for an activity that is safer than sitting on my couch at home.

When i'm feeling safety-conscious I focus on lights, reflectors, and brakes first, and i've been known to preach about active lighting and reflective clothing.

As I consider that more important, I use a Planet Bike Superflash Stealth - there's actually a more powerful Superflash out now! I wants. But it'll have to wait till I get paid - and a PB 2 watt headlight. If i'm on the road, they are on and turned on. I also have reflective tape on my backpack (though I don't wear it because of climate), and an orange ANSI reflective safety vest with white tape which was actually a giveaway - someone on a road crew randomly gave me one when I was commuting in winter at night trying to figure out where to find one.

I will replace the vest if the reflective tape is damaged enough to impair it's visibility. I will replace the headlight if it stops working or I get a good deal on an upgrade. I will replace the taillight when I have enough money to afford the upgrade.
