Thinking of getting one of those padded hoodies for the casual around the block type rides .any one had one if so any good or should I avoid and stick to the good old tried and tested gear opinions please..

Personally it's not for me. They'll still ride up your body as you slide. Might Save you a bump at low speeds but I don't think I'd trust one.

I wrote my R1 off at a junction, got fired down the road, still bloody hurt. Ambo crew said it was nice to turn up to an RTC involving a Bike to find rider in one piece with the right kit on.

I tried draggin jeans but didn't feel protected. Like I said, not for me.

Never seen a hoody but I have gone for some very armoured jeans that as so well lined they are supposed to offer more protection then leathers.
Only issue I have found is so that you get the protection the jeans make you feel like the Michelin man and you struggle being able to move on the bike.

worth a look though if your looking for some jeans to go with the hoody
