Two piece suits
I'm fairly new to riding. Have a small 200cc adv bike that's been great for riding pavement 30 minutes into town for errands (instead of the car), and also for tooling around on the dirt/gravel mountain roads here in Colombia.
Because it was fairly short rides and can be very hot here, I bought a very ventilated jacket (no zippers to open ventilation...the whole jacket is ventilated) with elbow and shoulder pads (also comes with a thermal interior liner, removable) and a pair of motorcycle slacks (essentially jeans with knee and hip pads).
Also purchased some excellent rain gear to throw over everything.
But, we are now planning on taking a few long motorcycle trips in Europe over the next two years. As I'm investigating the trip, I see a lot of riders with the polyester two piece suits (usually matching).
What's the advantage of these suits over motorcycle jeans and a jacket?
