On the streets, I wear my two-piece Roadcrafter, and I also have an HG Dakar jacket and some old Vent Tech leather pants. I just got a pair of the Greywolf riding pants for off-road. I'd like to ride the KLR off-pavement wearing something a little lighter than the Stitch or Dakar, but still have protection on. So what kind of armor do folks wear for knee, elbow, chest/back protection? Muted colors and lack of decals is a plus.

Thanks. Ira Agins Santa Fe, NM A16

If it's warm, just a jersey or jean jacket with chest protector and elbow pads. If it's cooler, a Bohn wax canvas. It has shoulder, elbow and back pads, plus I can put a chest protector over it.

When it gets pretty warm, here, in Kansas, a motocross jearsy with chest protector over it, accompanied by elbow pads, motorcross style pants, combo knee and shin protection, with motorcross boots. Joe in Kansas --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Kubik" wrote:

Ira...I live in AZ and if you need off or on road protection in hot or warm weather take a look at this site...http://www.evs-mx.com/ Go to "Chest Protection" click on "View Products" and scroll to BJ2 Ballistic Jersey. I have worn this gear for 3 years (on/off road) and I'm very pleased with it. Compared to MX jerseys, t-shirts etc. it will keep you cool and plus save your hide. WVD --- Ira Agins wrote:

After seeing Tumu and Devon throw on their chest protector ensembles (chest, back, shoulder one piece) after breakfast before our first ride together, I'd say this is the most versatile way to go. Just add elbow/arm pads and you have fairly complete upper body protection and the ability to ride nude if you want, or layer whatever you want over it for any temperature or precipitation. Probably a Cool-Max type underlayer would be most comfortable. That said, I have just received a Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket, pants, and gloves for summer riding.......... The Mule

OK, so what's the hot setup for the helmet? Do you just put it in the provided helmet-lock and let it swing, or do you strap it down tight to the luggage rack? I'm just not sure if one is gay or something, because I see it both ways.... (OK, so it's Friday, I just had to ask...) Ron with tongue firmly in cheek..

Helmet law in Michigan ya know.... eh ! But the helmet has large pink and white bunny ears on it to really get cages attention.
