Worth bearing in mind the damage that can happen to joints. We all think of the sliding down the road and likely problems but even a relatively small puncture wound around your knees or elbows can cause a lot of problems.
I think the Knox understuff is still a decent replacement for armour in 3mm leather jackets if you take out the existing armour. Especially if you like a looser fit.
Another piece of kit that gets overlooked but is brilliant for any time of year is a kidney belt. I have one from the Rukka range. It's brilliant on a summer evening when it can get quite cold at speed.
