Kerry, do whatever you need to do to keep the gear from shifting around too much. If gear will not "mostly" stay in place, it most likely doesn't fit properly. I see riders go down all the time, the ones that have the least amount of injury are the riders with gear that fits very well. imho, textile doesn't move around any more or less than leather. I have seen a rider slide 800+ft and his textile gear did it's job and was perfectly in place. Now... he had a broken back, but that was from hitting at wall at 70mph. :\
