Like Kwackboy I’m not too fussed if my gear isn’t ‘proper’ motorbike stuff.
I rode across Europe, including many 35’C+ day’s across France & Spain, in a pair of Brasher walking boots & ‘normal’ non-armoured jeans (Tesco’s finest I think), though I did wear my Aerostich Roadcrafter jacket (loadsa vents) and carried the matching Roadcrafter bottoms, (only to use if it rained, luckily it didn’t ????)
Incidentally, the missus dressed similarly, her own choice (& no, we were not wearing matching Mr & Mrs outfits
).
Ultimately it’s personal choice eh, you’ve got to be ‘comfortable’ in whatever you use, both physically and psychologically.
It’s all a balance, a calculation of likelihood and consequence, what does the time/effort/cost involved warrant.
The ALARP risk matrix in my head told me my boots/jeans combo would do just fine.
An alternative, if you demand ‘armour in all the right places’ might be to look at motorcross type under-vests/pants.
Never tried it myself, even when I raced enduros, but there’s all sorts out there, like this..
