Gear - more to the point re-enforced jeans, cumute suit or armored pants

[OldOneEye]

I am interested in something that I can just pull on over what I am wearing, eg. jeans or dockers that will afford me some protection.
I wear a helmet, good boots and a armored jacket.
Chaps don't appeal to me as the don't protect your assets 
I had some tex-armored riding pants but they are too small and I wore them only twice (not made to go over your clothing)

what do you ware?

You looking for something like Overall Bibs and a Pull Over jacket in like a Carhartt material?   Too damn hot for that stuff now....

I've got an assortment of textile gear that can be worn either over jeans or alone. I don't wear them much these days, but back in my ATGATT days (I was on a sportbike and took more chances, let's put it that way) I was REALLY fond of my mesh gear for summertime. I also have some Joe Rocket Ballistic armored stuff. The pants for those I typically wear with nothing underneath. I also have a pair of Draggin jeans that I liked for more casual riding or those tween days when it wasn't blazing hot but not cold either.

These days I also like my fleece lined jeans for cooler weather.

And, AMERICAN MADE!! Get my vote - thanks, Daniel!!

Especially nice, is the "half-sizes" - check the measurement info page. They measure EVERY single pair, to make sure they are right. And as some may be an inch off, if you are a 37", you can probably get a 36" that has measured 37" in actuality! What other company goes through that?? Only in AMERICA!

Getting ready to order a couple sets.

Check out the Roadcrafter suit by Aerostich. They're expensive but are well made, have high tech armor, and are made in Minnesota. I got one about a year ago and think it is outstanding. I wore it over my clothes on my way to work this past year-- I can get it on or off in less than a minute, it is waterproof, and you can stay relatively warm or cool as needed with the huge vents.

I got a good deal on a pair of Aerostich Darien pants on ebay about a year ago. I commute to work on the interstate, so I just pull those suckers on over my shorts. I love the full zippers up the side-makes it easy to put on or take off even with boots. They are totally waterproof, also.

Last resort.

Best Option, take a riding course, good tires, better brakes, stay visible, don't travel at peak animal movement hours.

Pavement hurts. Road Rash can be avoided, but it's the bones that are at risk.

Bone Armor can be worn underneath your clothing, if you are concerned about your assets.

That would be a  better route than simply road rash protection.

I like Draggin Jeans... I think they're made in North Carolina

I only know that I can stand to wear them, I haven't tested them otherwise... I guess they
would offer some protection for abrasion, pretty much like normal pants, I wear them at
work all day when I ride.

Surface armor is only going to protect pointy bone bits like knees and elbows. I certainly want to have it if I can, but I'm actually in more fear of really bad road rash and the debridings that come along with it. It's the reason why I just will NOT ride without decent gloves.
