bino Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Do armors give as much protection as jackets when falling? I really like the Alpinestars GP Plus R Perforated Leather Jacket but I like to ride with a hoodie so an armor would make more sense as I can't really put the hoodie over the jacket. Also if I get an armor, I wouldn't need to buy a winter jacket with protection as I can use a regular winter jacket. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusbal Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Armor alone won't provide much in the way of abrasian resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboobusfz07 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 ^^ this guy. Armor won't have anywhere near the abrasion resistance. And typically leaves alot of areas uncovered leaving you very open to injury. If you like riding with a hoodie I suggestion buying a riding specific hoodie. There's a few w kevlar an armor built in.

Beemer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Any thoughts? Yes, get a good leather jacket that has armor built in and pull the hood out the back when wearing it under a jacket. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Any thoughts? Yes, get a good leather jacket that has armor built in and pull the hood out the back when wearing it under a jacket. it's not about the hood. It's the feel of being in hoodies that I like (don't ask why, I don't even know lol) I might get a "city jacket" though. I like the look and style of this one Icon 1000 Basehawk Jacket I'm sure it's not as good as a sports leather jacket but it doesn't seem too bad either.

mdifabrizio Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I use that fox armor suit it's great for summer and it's got you pretty covered up. I bought it because I also ride off road. Need to step my leather game up. Once the throttle is cracked on, it is rolled on evenly, smoothly, and consistently throughout the remainder of the turn. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1738084489772201/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears you found a hoodie with protection, good for you! Although, I was more impressed with the guy in the video modeling the jacket with the 5 lb. mustache, LMAO!
