I just ride naked, the cagers seem to stay away but in coastal areas i tend to get harpooned.
I sowed elbow,shoulder,back armor into my harley textile jacket that I've had for a long time and wanted to keep. It never had armor! Thing ways a ton now but so much better protection. Put lvl 2 back armor (replaced a foam pad) in my summer jacket, so that thing is safer. Put the flat armor in my winter riding pants and used the armor I took out of them and sowed them into a pair of draggin jeans I just purchased. I may get another set of forcefield flat knee armor for the jeans and replace the one I have in there,not sure. So all my gear is upgraded !!!
