Hip protectors-belts above jeans?

[OmegaA]

I once came across hip protectors that can be worn like belts above jeans. Like the idea because then you can have UHMWPE jeans for comfort and put on knee and hip protectors only for the rides, so very comfortable walks off the bike
Unfortunately, I cannot find them now. Any suggestions? I know Helite makes inflatable ones, but I don’t think they fit the bikers’ purpose
Thanks

The D30 knee and hip protectors I have in my jeans are really unnoticeable while off the bike.

Generally i find its pretty quick to remove hip protectors, they're usually just velcro'd into an easily accessible pocket. Undo trousers, remove

You can also get some kevlar jeans that allow you to remove the knee armour externally too...

Thinking of Trilobite

I've seen whole onesie suits that go over normal clothes, but they look pretty bulky, and I've seen Kevlar leggings with armour that go under normal jeans, but the jeans would have to be a loose fit to accommodate them.
This time of year whatever you're wearing is going to get covered in road crap unless you're in a sunny part of the world that doesn't get the wonderful mix of road salt and rain.

Bowtex leggings can go under any jeans, but I suspect they are good if you ride for leisure, probably not practical if you ride to a town centre and walk around as they are less breathable
Yes, jeans now won’t work, but I hope buying now for riding in summer - I hope using the same jeans at home, at work (not always, but sometimes) and riding. Hope they won’t get too dirty too quickly. And I know common biker jeans won’t work - too thick, I breathable and less uncomfortable than UHMWPE
