I was telling Jimmy the other day that I have YET to find a suit that fits properly. Everything's been Catwoman tight or too baggy. Pain in the ass that shit is.

Well catwoman tight is definatly better than too baggy, the tighter the fit the better protection you will have....for example armor will not slide around in places it shouldn't be...

I had a hard time finding a jacket that fits right....I'm guessing pants won't be any easier....considering i have big ass legs and I'm not that fat

Go for a pair of textile pants. Check out all the manufactures. I know you'll be much more confortable in them but I'm still not sure if they even support knee sliders or not. At least they offer a bit more protection.

they make leathers that are perforated. that's what i have. i've never owned another pair so i don't know how much hotter the non-perforated leathers get. i paid about 200 at kneedraggers. suprisingly, they're quite comfortable to ride in...just make sure they fit right.

If I get what Mack is saying, he just wants protection. Get rollerblade style knee protection and wear them under pants. I have seen this done many times. You may need to get 'loose fit' jeans though.
