ok... but how does that have anything to do with the level of protection? my point was that they protect well enough for a MotoGP rider to use... I'm sure it's fine for us mortals...

It makes you look like a dork wearing high-top hiking boots under skinny jeans

The second pic is just pants, not a race suit, right?

When you have a 1-piece race suit like the Dainese that fits over the boot, it's nice and snug all the way down the leg until it meets the boot, and then all of a sudden it bulges out around the boot. Looks dumb imo.

I think that Dainese makes some fine apparel btw...

I don't see what he's talking about...

I'm thinking about having my current suit altered to do both like this... zip it up to wear in the boots, leave it unzipped to wear out of the boots.

Having asked the over under question a while ago I borrowed a suit earlier in the year that is an over the boot leg, and looks aside, it is more comfortable, it's one of those things you didn't realized that you missed it until you finally have it. There is also slightly more movement, not much but enough that you can notice it, noticably in the front to back movement.

Looks wise, people are used to seeing track suits tucked in the boots, anything out of the 'norm' looks wierd. I like the over the boot look myself.
