often riding gear with armor have very generic and loose-fitted locations for the armor. These items allow you to place your armor right where you want it and they stay in place better since the pants and jacket may slide around or rotate during a wreck. Most ADV riders, as I'm learning, prefer this type of approach. I have a pair of mesh pants with armor. when I wrecked on the KLR recently, the knee armor moved, allowing my knee to get a rub burn from the nylon rather than the padding staying in place.
