I recently saw that Fast Company (Draggin Jeans) offers a kevlar shirt that could be worn alone or with another jacket. While it offers no impact resistance, it should help avoid the roadrash. They also offer a few other jackets, including a kevlar-lined jean jacket. I would think the kevlar shirt would be a great option for those folks who already ride without impact protection. Just another option...

I would recommend the Tour Master Tech Jacket, it has the removable liner and plastic elbow and back protectors, comes with zippers, buckles, and velcro, what ever you wanta close it with, use one way to close it or all 3, plus it has better water protection than the $400 Harley rainsuit. I rode with this jacket in heavy rain and I was dry, plus the jacket is warm, I ride in PA in 30 degree weather no problem, plus this jacket has a cheap price, got mine for $69.95

I've tried several different textiles and I've not found one yet that fits as good as leather.

Check out http://www.foxcreek.com. EXCELLENT QUALITY and TOTALLY AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE. :D

That warranty does not cover knife fights. Bummer.

I think for that you'll want something made from chain mail.
