For daily commuting and nearby canyon rides, I have a Brosh jacket which I
bought used XXL.  It includes shoulder, elbow, and forearm armor with kevlar
patches at those points.  The rest of the jacket is a very light (even
flimsy) windbreaker material with forearm, armpit, and back vents.  All but
the armpits are zippered.

I am thinking of adding a Bohn back protector to this
(www.actionstation.com), since that is not an option from Brosh, although
the ventilation may be affected.  The real strength of the Brosh is that you
are not tempted to ride without at least some protection.  However, it is
clearly not in the same league as leathers or an Aerostich.  But for hot
weather, I think it's a good compromise.

As far as pants, I usually only wear jeans...I haven't seen any hot weather
pants.

From your spelling, I take it you are in the UK?  I also have a Triumph
Trophy jacket for cold weather, armor is available for the shoulders and
elbows as well.
