Not me either, but any gear is better then no gear. Leather by far out performs everything.

FWIW, none with the Kevlar, but I do own an old Motoport Intra leather jacket.I bought itaround 1990 when Motoport only sold leather stuff. This is one helluvajacket; THICK leather and non-removable liner. Made in Germany. No armour, butthe leather is so darn thick (and double ply around the elbows) it probably wouldn't matter! This thing will outlast me.
If the Kevlar stuff is built as well as my old jacket, I'd say go for it.

Well, I'm sure it's more protective than a hoodie and flipflops. lol

I hate to say it, but those cycleport kevlar jackets are butt ugly though. They just look so "ho-humm" generic. (Not to say they aren't well made, because IDK)

again, no experience with that product. I am still using leather as in this statement.

I have a full kevlar Difi GP-2 suit that was given to me years a go. It's butt ugly, red and weighs more than me and the bike. Have never worn it be and sometimes I make my girlfriend wear the jacket to tone down her hott-ness! Just kidding I'm sure the new ones are good or spend a little more and go textile for now.
