Hmmm, I gave up wearing fashionable boots about 1985, it was too expensive. Hubby used to knock the heels to hell going round the corners. Of course we were younger and sillier then 
Well, hopefully Icon makes their jackets better than their gloves. My Icon gloves started coming apart after a week of using them.ralphie wrote:When I ride I always wear full protection gear (full face helmet, leather jacket with CE certified body armor, motorcycle boots, and full fingered gloves). But my wife rides her scooter a lot and doesn't seem to want to listen to me to wear full gear. She wears a helmet and gloves but refuses to wear leather jacket and boots. She wears her sneakers and jean jacket. Refuses to even wear jeans! Skirts, black pants, shorts, etc but no jeans!
I can understand on a scooter going 20mph is not a huge deal but now she wants to ride on the back of my bike and there is no way i would let her on with at least a protective jacket. So I convinced her to buy a motorcycle jacket.
I would prefer her to get leather with extra protection on shoulders and elbows but she insists on getting a textile with the padding. Is textile ok? Or should I be hard-headed on this and insist on leather?
Here is what she wants:
