There is a reason roadrace boots have armor and sliders on them. They are supposed to be on the outside unless your sponsored by a company that will cater to your own bizarre fashion sense...

Sure, if you're talking about jeans or textiles.......I do that too.

But leather race suits? Like I said before, the vast majority of them would never be able to fit over the boot, even if you wanted them to.

Who you calling "bizarre" mother fucker?!?:lol: I'm looking at my boots wondering where these above the ankle sliders are? Besides the armor works whether the boot is inside or outside. Oh and I don't think that Rossi is weird or that Dainese would make a suit that way if they were concerned about it's safety.:idk: Actually, I think this is a fun/interesting topic. I honestly don't see the difference protection wise. I think you guys are a bunch of traditionalist "fuddy-duddys":lol:

Leathers tucked into boots.

Jeans over boots.

The only reason Rossi wears what he wears is because Dainese pays him to. Personally I think RS Taichi and Kushitani suits are superior.

Oh you're right. Unless the pants were made that way like...

There are several others, I think that it's a matter of taste myself...

LOL@Tigger! Bottom line is it doesnt effect safety or your lap times at all. Its just fun to poke fun!

FYI I have used toe, ankle, shin, and calve sliders at some point occaisionally while saving a crash or outright crashing. If you go down hard your going to get torn up!

Like I said, RACE SUITS. Not just leather pants that are sold separately.

Just depends on the suit you buy, some tuck in and some go over.
