Differences in vests

[mainlinecoffee]

With bug session coming up I was thinking about breaking out the vest and mad professor goggles again and I was wondering how many here even wear vests and why? I have been hit by enough bees and rocks on the highway that I would much rather be a little warmer than bleeding at 70mph. And was wanting to get a few opinions on material, leather seems to be the gold standard but I really don't want to drop the cash on one,I do have a old German flack jacket covered In band patches and spikes that would stop anything from a stray pebble to a supersonic 22... Do you(whoever) wear chaps or vests or atgatt? And why? Just wanting to get some other opinions,my gear is basically bates boots denim jeans and a tee shirt with the ocasional goggles and vest and it seems to work well. The last time I went down I was cut off going about 34 hit the SUV and skidded, I don't think any amount of gear would help that but what is considered decent protection?
