As I tend to ride a lot---my stuff wears out---Aerostitct stuff good for at least 100,000 miles, on my second Aerostich Darien Jacket and pants, wore out one 1 piece suit and a 2 piece suit, second pr of their boots---at end either throw away or I had, now dead friend, who would sell them on EBAY to people who wanted to look like they rode a lot. Langlitz leather jackets last 20 years for me---got good money back on ebay....from riders who wanted to look like they rode a lot.
As riding gear is also safety gear---not good to keep it around. I go thru 2 3/4 helmets a year----dirt and stink, I generally pay in the $40 area, white color.
Oldest thing I use right now or now and then=more than 10 year old Langlitz Heavy duty gloves, good to about 40-45 degrees F
