I can suggest getting leather gear. Fabric gear literally grabs the road when you crash. Leather skips and slides.
I crashed (hit sand in a turn-highsided in a very bad way) and my fabric padded riding jacket bunched right up to my neck on both arms when I hit the street doing my Superman impression. I was wearing jeans, so my knees and legs got messed up. Leather pants would have MAYBE left me bruised.
I was wearing leather gloves with short gauntlets, they flew off while I was rolling, get LONG gauntlet gloves.
I was wearing leather shoes, they flew off as well while I was rolling on the ground. Wear leather boots.
If I'd been wearing the correct riding gear, i would have walked away, instead, I broke many bones, feet, hands, elbow, lots of road rash.
