Which to choose...

I am planning on getting some armoured trousers as I destroyed my last pair when I last came off the bike.

I currently have the RST Electric jacket. I was going to go for the leather jeans to match and get a waterproof over suit.

Bearing in mind the weather is going to be crap for the next few months, should I just get textile trousers (with armour) to save scuffing up a new pair of leathers?

Any suggestions?

If you're going to get textile, make sure you get a good pair that keeps the knee pads where they should be. I got a cheap pair and the only time the knee pads stay in place is when i wear my racing boots, anyother time they just hang around my shins.

This time of year I'd go for textile with the extra linings that can be zipped out.

As for flexible armour I'm a fan of the Hein Gericke stuff. If you buy trousers or jacket from them and their flexible stuff isn't fitted then they give you a discount if yu buy it at the same time (well they did me anyhow ).

Suggest trying Hein Gericke anyhow as I'm told they do have women's sizes/cuts for their clothes.

Well, went to my local place last night.

Got a pair ofr RST Jeans that are a combination of leather and textile. Not bad for £100. Tried on quite a bit, but these fitted the best. The 100% textile stuff I found to be too loose on my skinny legs so the armour was (as you said) in my boots.

I also got a waterproof suit to keep the majority of the wet stuff off of me.

Looking forward to putting the bike back on the road now.
