The BOB I keep in my car has a rain suit but no other clothes in it, although there is a full toiletry kit including contact lens support infrastructure, spare lenses and spare glasses.

In a separate duffel bag I have a medium jacket, ski gloves, work gloves, a sweater, a belt, a full change of clothes with extra socks, and a pair of broken-in but not broken-down sneakers, with a pair of boots in the same state. Since I always have a warm fleece and a rain shell in my car I can start with no clothes and layer for just about any weather conditions short of the Arctic.

I've found the clothes handy in everyday situations like getting soaked in an unexpected downpour. I've also had my pants tear at work, so having Emergency Pants in the car is essential. There's a reason I chose this screen name.

At the office I have a light kit that includes a change of clothes, since I take the train instead of driving most days.
