Being hot and sweaty is a small price to pay compared to the possible injuries that can result from no protection.

(that said, I still need to find some overpants/kevlar jeans).
Helmet, jacket, pants and (brand spankin' new!) boots here!

Kinda curious as to why the ones who wear everything except protective pants, don't wear them?

What do u mean by boots? Does it have to be boots made for riding or just work boots? I put boots down but I only wear my leather work boots.

In addition, most motorcycle boots will have a non-skidding sole, to give you better traction when stopped (wet pavement, oil, etc...). And many have a shifter pad on the top of the toe to give you more secure/precise shifting control (your boot won't slide off -- they give you grip).
And for you ladies (and vertically challenged men), boots also give you a little more height, to give you better footing when stopped.

Take it from me, Jeans are not a good form of protection. I KNOW.
Ide have to say that armored textile pants would probably be next after leathers.
I'd think it would be better to wear the jacket in town because there are alot more vehicles closer to you in town then on the highway.
Just a suggestion

I wear my helmet and gloves all the time. If I am going to leave town I will wear my jacket also.
