Recommendations for Armored Riding Shorts
I'm on a "Snipe Hunt" for the best (best - not necessarily most expensive) armored shorts - and I'm soliciting your opinion(s)
Background:
Last year I had a low-speed off. Left hairpin turn on tarmac. Damp sand on the road that I just didn't see in time.
Didn't make the turn (obviously). Came down on my left hip, about 3 feet from the bike.
Broken left femur (Lesser Trochanter - see the attached pic)
It's taken some time to get back on the bike, but I'm there.
(65-year old bones don't knit as fast anymore)
So.....I'm in the market for the best armored shorts I can find.
I've already got (and wear) all of the rest of the stuff (kneepads/shoulder pads, etc.).
In an "ideal" world, these would be something that I can wear over the top of my underwear....yet underneath riding pants/denim pants.
Your ideas (and reasoning) PLEASE.
