I've never heard anyone say after a spill, "I wore way too much gear". In contrast I've read numerous accounts of people stating that helmets and jackets have saved their lives/hide.
To be honest, I don't feel comfortable on the street without my Jacket/gloves anymore. The more gear I wear the more relaxed I feel.
