Undergarments for AAA riding jeans?
Hey riders, I’m looking for some guidance from riders with knowledge/ experience with this as I’m really unsure if it’s overkill.
I’ve just purchased some AAA rated Bull-it Guardian jeans made with Covec and they also have level 2 knee and hip armour. I don’t know how much confidence exactly to have in the material alone, as I’m more used to two layer pants with Kevlar, so the single layer feel is hard to get used to in terms of feeling protected. Photos obvs show the material components for more info.
For context I mostly pootle to work (approx 10 mins each way at 50-60km in low-mod traffic) including the expressway once a week (approx 20 mins at 100kms in mod traffic) with infrequent day rides of different speeds with another rider maybe once every 1-2 months.
Would it be too much to invest in the Pando Moto skin undergarment (also AAA) to wear underneath or would the jeans alone be sufficient.
I know that leathers will ultimately offer better protection, but my focus is on my current situation right now.
Really appreciate any advice here. I want to be safe but am really unsure if the added layer would be too much for the type of riding I’m doing. Definitely not out there trying to break speed or manoeuvre records 😅
