It's a good question. I rode for years with two-piece leathers that zipped together completely and I do think they're safer. That said, I've offered to look for one piece suits for Peter and he doesn't really want to go that route. *shrug* It's all personal preference, and I'd rather him wear the gear he was wearing and take the minimal damage he did, than have him not want to wear the gear at all (or not ride at all).

I should mention that the mark on his waist, while technically road rash, looks more like a rug burn that's about 1.5" long. It's really quite small and he didn't notice it until I pointed it out.
