I'd probably have ground my kneecap into dust without those pants. I will never ride without my gear.

Really with kevlar mesh pants and jackets as long as you are moving it's no warmer than wearing a T shirt. You can buy stuff that looks tasteful and be fully protected too and it isn't that expensive. If you are too cool for school and think wearing a leather jacket makes you look like a wimp that's your call. Chicks dig mine so I'm sticking with it.
