True. But I was striving to explain that just undies does not cut it and overall outside is what's needed. Not something inside.

I unfortunately have "got off" four times on the asphalt.( in fifty plus years)
My denim jeans have worked pretty well.

I don't know but when you found out, you would also know if they're skidmark proof.

Depends on how fast you're going. I always wear Cordura mesh or leather. With CE-rated armor.

YMMV.
