You may look great in a black stretchy pair of leggings, but they are lacking in the protection department. The Street & Steel Moto Leggings are made out of 4-way stretch dual layer material so they hug your curves while you attack apexes. A liner made out of aramid and elastin has a good amount of stretch as well as abrasion resistance. CE level 2 rated armor covers the knees with positions of height adjustment. Hip pockets are ready to take optional armor (sold separately).
