Kevlar jeans and a leather jacket - how to prevent riding up

Hi,

I've got a 2 piece leather suit which I've been wearing, with a zip between the jacket and trousers. I'm considering a pair of kevlar jeans (easier for shops, work etc and all low speed short journeys) but I cant see any way to join them? How do you stop the jacket riding up in a spill and letting the road grind chunks off you?

Cheers

You don't fall off.

It's always a compromise between comfort, practicality and safety.

Some jackets and some jeans have zips installed at the back, if not you could have some installed.

Yup, buy a zipper to match the trousers, sew it in.

Just take the jacket and jeans down to your local alterations shop, they'll do it all for you.
