I want to order two jackets today. Is Exlement the only Classic leather style that comes armored?

My dream jacket would consist of padding, kevlar reinforcements and armor all over. Kind of a jacket with this in it.

For my summer jacket I want something with armor, reflective, that breaths. How does Xelement compare to others in terms of the protection that they offer?

Is Xelement the way go?

 

Don't let an armored jacket give you a false sense of security.
I was wearing a fully armored jacket (brand doesn't matter here) when I flipped off the bike. I landed kneeling, and upper body twisted.. my elbow went into my back, breaking 7 ribs, two inches out from the spine.

Following recovery, I got an "airbag" jacket. co2 cartridge with a tether to the bike.. If I go off, the teather trips the co2, which inflates tubes around the neck, down the chest and down the spine.

Not something I wear for short rides (although I should), but definately now wearing it on longer rides.
