Around here in the summer, I see people wearing bathing suits and sandals on motorcycles- they might look like raw hamburger if they crash.

I wear knee and shin armor made for a dirt bike- it has vents to stay cool, under my padded nylon motorcycle pants, and they cost less than $25. Your stronger jeans are a good way to hide armor:
