I'd recommend you get the optional hip protectors, they do wonders. The knee pads are... eh, they move out of place when you tumble and it's why my knee got some friction burn (healed up in about 2 weeks as opposed to back when I had road rash on my knee from "Regular" jeans tearing on me and taking a month+). From now on I'm wearing external knee pads with my draggin jeans. My ***, hips, etc. everywhere was fine after the tumble.
Good to know about the knee armor. I am looking at the Bohn armor for underneath.

I would love to stick with leather, but with all the rain, some textile just make sense. Also need some raingear.
