Currently i'm just wearing my jeans and leather jacket, however I'll be investing in a pair of textile pants and a layered riding jacket. It's starting to warm up over here and the leather jacket has zero ventilation.

i wear the draggin jeans cargo pants, complete with knee n hip padds.

although i havent had an off with them on (touch wood) i hear they wont realy stop ya bones from breaking but they will keep ya skin on ya bod and wont allow the burning the usually goes with sliding on the road.

I have heard from paramedics that they are a total bi.tch to cut off ya though, scissors dont cut kevlar to well ;)

Im probably going to pick up some armor to at least cover my knees when using the kevlar jeans. I know that both Bohn and Icon make armor to go under regular clothes.
