IMO they won't protect you for shite....aside from stretching, heating and tearing flesh, kevlar's abrasion resistance is marginal on it's own. My chum had a set of Furygan 'kevlars' which he thoroughly shredded (and himself) in a 50mph off at the end of the straight at Snet. I've lobbed it on the road in straight denim at the same speed and not been as badly scraped up.
Full leather, or accept roadrash! ;)
