[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1344680, member: 11508"] I also had an FJR-totaling wreck while wearing my M/P 2-piece kevlar mesh--with whatever armor inserts come standard. The bike and I went tumbling over a bunch of fairly large (football-sized or so) broken granite rocks. Meaning lots of sharp--and [I]hard[/I]--edges. Bike pretty shredded, me with only one bruise. But it went from somewhere above my ankles to my armpits. I can't complain about that; it was a hard fall. But not ONE scratch, cut, or abrasion. Just bruises from the thumping. And virtually NO damage to the suit. Still wearing it with no repairs needed at least 8 years later. That's the good part. The bad part is, it's really bulky. I recommend a good set of rain gear you can take off or put on as needed, but make sure you get a size big enough to fit over this suit. I don't think it keeps me very warm in the cold or cool in the heat, either. Best away from extremes of temperature. Finally (for the negatives), the liners that I bought extra to go with it aren't worth owning. You can keep warmer and dryer using lots of other liners you already have. The outer rain gear makes a good windbreak, too, if it's cold. You DON'T want to stop and get undressed on the side of the road to put a liners under this gear in the rain. So, super-protective, not really convenient to wear, and don't pay extra for the rain or cold liners. Sure glad I had it on when I crashed though. [/QUOTE]
