All these leather post have me wondering: How many of you make sure your pants and Jackets have armor vs how many of you do not care? WHy?

 

I have armor in my tourmaster textile jacket and pants. I left them in there as they don't make the gear uncomfortable to wear. I don't notice it's even there.

 

I have a bunch of leather jackets and one pair of leather chaps. Armour in an FXRG and a Vanson, no armour in the other jackets (Langlitz, Schott, Brooks, HD) and none on the chaps. I don't worry about it.

 

I don't worry about it. I wear a jacket, but I don't want to feel like an Ice hockey player.

 

I have a denim jacket with it, but I wear my heavy leather jacket 100% of the time with chaps.

 

just the leathers

 

When I ride during the day I only wear my blue cowboy boots and boxers, so...........no armor.

 

When I ride my Ducati I have the armor when I ride my Harley I don't. Probably doesn't make much sense but my Ducati jacket came with the stuff most Harley Jackets don't.

 

I prefer to wear just jeans, boots, and a t-shirt, but once cold weather sets in, I wear more to stay warm. I feel if you are to bundled up and hot then the ride is less comfortable and therefore too much like work.

 

I had my leathers on when I laid down my bike in November. The leather protected my skin from the road rash. I don't think any amount of armor would have protected my shoulder. I landed square on my elbow, but that shoved my arm into my shoulder and resulted in a rotator cuff tear.

That being said, I have an HD mesh jacket for the summer, and it has pockets for armor. After having laid down the bike, I've been considering adding in the armor for summer use. (just in case.)
