During short trips for lunch or after work I wear textile slip-overs on top of whatever pants I'm wearing at the time. But for long weekend rides I usually wear armored jeans. Mine are fairly typical (I think) with Kevlar lining from the knees up and a textile lining below the knees. Add I've filled the inside knee and hip armor pockets with armor pads. So how safe are armored jeans?
