After finding my Leatt protection shorts have saved me from hip impacts at least three times, I figured I wanted another pair. Only thing is I'm not crazy about the Leatt's fit, so I ordered a pair from Alpinestars to try. They have an Independence Day sale going on so I also picked up a jersey and a pair of closeout shorts. I already have the short sleeve version of the jersey and know I'm fond of their mesh fabric. Mesh fabrics make a difference in the heat so I'm always on the lookout for reasonably priced mesh jerseys and shorts.

you might want to get a size up in the shorts as well
those protection shorts can add quite a bit to your waist
seem to remember Leatt have quite thin pads

I usually buy size 34 shorts and I always need to tighten the adjustment as much as possible. Figured for $51 I'll take a swing at the 32s since they were the only size available. I don't always run a padded liner anyway.
