Commuting last night from work home i got downhill over the highway
overpass and got a glancing
blow from a VW microbus and hit the asphalt:
people are anxious to get into a left turnoff lane over there
over two lanes of traffic one of which i happened to occupy.
Mysteriously enough i got holy underpants while i could not find any
holes in the jeans that were
naturally on top. I also have a small hole in the nylon jacket sleeve.
What i believe i need besides an auxiliary construction-zone-grade
headlight to augment
the cateye led light on the helmet i wore at the time is a light
denier cordura jacket and pants.
preferably with a goretex layer sandwiched between the cordura layers
on the jacket.
The protection is naturally against the road rash, not against the 4
wheelers.
Are there bicycle jackets padded with soft or even hard armor?
On the pants i need heap padding and knee padding.
On the jacket i want elbow padding. Shoulder padding would be nice to
have too.
I don't want to haul heavy and sweat inducing motorcycle gear.
Should i call the guy who hit me to get reimbursement for the jacket?
He did not hit and run so i kinda don't want to penalize him for $80
jacket
partially toast.
Thanks for your opinions.
