ahhh, well your onto a winner then, its a shame Im Indoors wasn't wearing a a pair when he had a bump on suzy a few years back...his golden globes have been frozen in time, on her tank. I tried to cover the evidence of the two dents with a tank protector, but they refuse to be hidden...lol

Well I can provide a product review.......

The shorts, are comfy and can be worn in place of pants if you wear boxers. The padding round your behind also makes sitting on the pointy seat more comfy.

The only down side of the knee armour is that the straps do get sweaty and I have excema, so it iritates a little. But for AR am thinking of cutting the the bottoms off some old rugby socks and putting them up on my knees and then the armour on.

So your leather alteration place provide a pair of courtesy kecks! Now THATS service.

I have a pair of J&S kevelar pants which are my only bike pants atm..

Chep and cheerful at £50 but they seem to do the job, and I have no fear of riding hard waring them,

Plenty of kevelar in them but I might well invest in some of that strap on armour?

I recon, if one wants all the protection they can get, including armour, then a decent set of leathers is the best option. I like the jeans but I wouldnt buy armour to go underneath; if I felt the need for more protection i'd get my leather trousers on.
They're good for a quick trip to town and if you want to look more casual, but for a nice blast in the country or a day long trip, then the leathers give more protection and more confidence.

sounds like your going into battle

My mate wears knee armour like that motocross one over his trousers, have you tried that? Wouldn't get so sweaty then.

had a pair of draggin jeans for a while now and prefer them to leathers in the hot weather. not put them to the test yet and dont intend to. bought the velcro knee armour and not happy with it, too much movement so never in the right place and uncomfortable.
only a+b roads mind choose not to wear them on the motorway.
one thing i've found out, leathers stick my behind to the seat, denim slide around.

I;ve got a pair of Hein Gericke jeans... not sure how protective they are really. But the Hiprotec armour is ideal for jeans as it's so thin and flexible, I'm aware it's there but it's not intrusive, and not very visible. I mainly wear these for riding my pushbike and they don't interfere at all with the pedalling action, which shows how little impact the armour has... But it's all CE armour.
