Kids bought me a Draggin Shirt for x-mas. Long sleeve and all kevlar. No armor, but supposed to be road rash proof (hope I don't find out). It really breathes. I wear a Triumph Rochester jacket with armor for longer trips (I know, most accidents occur close to home). It breathes nice, but it's still hot at lights and waiting for trains. I wear (not always) Draggin cargo pants with kevlar sewn into knees and throughout the upper portion. Not too hot, but they have a weird euro-cut (too old to care). I wear a Shoei DOT approved half-shell helmet, so I'm used to bugs and stones hitting me in the exposed area (keeps you alert).

Only do the leather jacket thing in the cooler weather. Never considered chaps, as I'd be tempted to ride bare-a$$ed and buy the cowboy wool ones and wear spurs.
