I recently bumped into a thread discussing armour use and it seems that there's quite a story to be told regarding protection.
I've kept the options simple to prevent vote dilution, so if you wear some variant that doesn't quite fit the options, pick the one closest to what you use.

The brands don't matter, it'll be interesting to see the prevailing option.

Why do you prefer your option over the rest and what are the advantages/disadvantages involved?

Synthetic Jacket refers to the 'usual' adventure jackets - EG BMW Rallye Jackets
Body Armour refers to impact rigs, shells etc.
Leathers refer to leathers.  :biggrin:
Both means you own more than one type and use them according to where you ride (Eg. if you do trail riding in armour, track riding in leathers and touring in synthetics)
Niether means you've got a really good medical aid scheme. ::)
