REV'IT Pants: One 4-season or 2 different pairs?

I've been trying to decide between one pant to do it all-- the Defender-- or the Legacy paired with the Airwave pants for warmer days. Abrasion resistance is a priority, as is the highest-quality armor. The reason I'd considered the Defender is that with the liners removed and vents open, it seems like it might not be as hot. That combined with the SAS-TEC armor seemed like a good combo. That said, I don't want to be too hot in the Defender pants if I'd be better served by two pairs rather than one. I'd appreciate any advice.

FWIW, the Tornado pants are nearly identical to the Airwave, but come with a waterproof/thermal liner. That would work year round around here.

"Jack of all trades, master of none" usually comes to mind for me with four-season pants. I expect any you get will perform excellently in the cold, but not so well when it really heats up.

Thanks-- I've thought about those. One issue I'm having is the abrasion protection. Neither the Airwave nor the Tornado look particularly burly, and I want to have as much protection as I can. I'm thinking of upgrading the armor to Forcefield but am considering ordering an older pair of the Turbine pants from Germany because of the higher degree of protection.

Thoughts?
