You don’t have to be in full 1 piece suits (although it greatly helps) but wearing gear shows a certain amount of maturity about the matter.

Squids generally don’t think they are ever going down, smart riders do. If you realize that there is a good chance that you will be down sometime you wear gear, simple as that. Hence why riders without gear are associated as “Squids”.
