Gloves...best to have protection for your hands when riding. I always ride with my gloves. Perhaps some protection for your palms if you go down. Road rash hurts.
Jacket...I have mesh jacket with armor inside. It has a liner that I can add for colder weather. Some feel as if the mesh does not offer as much protection as leather, but opinions are just that.
Boots/shoes...wear something that covers your ankles.
Pants...I wear jeans for commutes around. Never been to a track, so don't feel I need full leathers. Opinion again, but my experience.
just my $.02.
