often riding gear with armor have very generic and loose-fitted locations for the armor. These items allow you to place your armor right where you want it and they stay in place better since the pants and jacket may slide around or rotate during a wreck. Most ADV riders, as I'm learning, prefer this type of approach. I have a pair of mesh pants with armor. when I wrecked on the KLR recently, the knee armor moved, allowing my knee to get a rub burn from the nylon rather than the padding staying in place. |
This is true of riding pants far more than it is of jackets in my experience. Most jackets have strapping and buttons to help tighten up and locate the elbows. The shoulders rarely shift much, nor do the back protectors. The knee armor on most riing pants though... Yeah it just flops about.
