I also have a pair of overpants that I wear when it's cold enough that my perforated leather pants would not work well. They don't fit over the leather pants, so I wear jeans underneath.
To me, they are a bit of a compromise. They're textile so basically one off and they're done because they won't hold up to abrasion as well. However, in between mutiple layers in the overpants and another layer of regular trousers beneath, I'm reasonably confident that I won't suffer road rash.
The bigger issue is that by definition they have to be loose. That means the armor isn't guaranteed to stay in place when your friendly local road surface tries its best to rip your clothing off.
