I'm after any recommendations of either really.

Anyone wear either regularly? Shorty boots appeal due to the ankle protection but the fact they don't take forever to put on.

I've used the sidi streetburners for years there my most used boot ,offer a good amount of protection (for a short boot) very comfortable , and nice and easy to get on

I have Sidi Vertigo Corsa's so know Sidis fit me well but those streetburners are mega pricey :shocked:

Hood Jeans work for me, I have some Astars shortly boots but I reckon I'll replace them with Sidi. Saying that I've had the boots a good few years and they are comfy and work well on the bike they've just worn badly (IMO) from the gearchange.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has successfully crash tested any of the jeans or boots suggested.

I like the look of the arc-on kevlar trousers. They come with Forcefield armour. I do have a pair of kevlar jeans but there's no armour in them.

I'd be interested to see who else makes them. I think RST do as well.

I've RST jeans with Kevlar (aramid I think) and hip and knee CE protection. I've also TCX X-Rap boots. Have done considerable miles in both. Boots are not waterproof as advertised but apart from that I feel they are a good commuting, cross continent option.

I've crashed in draggin jeans without injury

No, and prefer to keep it that way.

Nope, they are Kevlar.

Found some road orientated TCX boots locally for £99 and they fit well but looked a little OAP so I think I'll go with the waterproof roadster x ones with the toe sliders. Have found them for £90 delivered.
