FAQs about protective motorcycle wear (cont.)

Q. Any opinion re: kevlar-lined Jeans. Seems scary to me - just a layer of kevlar. of course there is Kevlar and there is kevlar.

A. The trouble with some kevlar-lined jeans especially the 'cargo' style is that they are only partially lined. I have a burn scar on my hip as a result of sliding on a part of my kevlar-lined cargos that was unlined. I recommend you get jeans which are fully lined. I have also crashed in a fully-lined pair as well and that time I came away without a scratch.

Q. Finally, any suggestions for gear for my wife?

A. The same as the general recommendations I made already but perhaps go with proper leather pants rather than kevlar jeans. Less chance of scarring from friction burns. Scars may look cool on guys but not on girls.
