Default Armour

Who uses it?

What have you got? Brand/Leg/Elbow/etc.

Was thinking about getting some armour for my knees considering I usually ride in jeans on the street. Just looking for some extra protection.

I use a Dianese back protector. Everything else is built into the jacket and pants.

I wear an icon back protector. My suit has everything built in. When just riding around town I wear the jacket with armor built in, then nothing on my legs.

I just got these...

for when I ride to work. They go over my jeans and fit nicely in my backpack while I am at work.

I pull everything out when I buy gear. It bunches up and never fits right when I leave it in.

Mines built in to my A* and Joe Rocket jackets. I wear Draggin' Jeans utility style with kevlar plus CE-rated armor added for knee/shins but I don't know what brand the armor is.
