I slid on my side then my knees but my pants show no markings and neither did my jacket. I still find it odd I came out without even a bruise.
Thats great to hear. I recently switched after 30 years from the classic leather motorcycle jacket to a Tourmaster Cortech jacket and protective pant. With kevlar in key locations! I noticed immediatly I could ride further into the year comfortably. Even in high 20's low 30's tempeture. I am able to ride as long as road conditions are not hazardous. I remember one day last year it was 35 during the daytime with a little mist. On the way home it was 28 degrees and that mist was freezing in spots by midnite. I crawled home at 15-18 mph praying while sliding this way and that and if I God got me home I was done for the season. I made it. And regardless how nice the daytime looked and all sunny...I was done until the next April/May.
