I wear the Forcefield armored pants (http://www.forcefieldbodyarmour.co.uk/pro_pants.asp) under Icon riding jeans. I like the armored pants and would recommend them, but the jeans are a little 'raver-ish' for me. Really baggy and over sized. I think that the armored pants would be fine under some reasonably loose fit pants and I have worn them under normal jeans with no major discomfort. I am looking for a two piece leather suit.

Dainese has some reinforced denim pants with slits at the knees to put in removable armor. They look kind of normal. I am going to try some out next week.

These are overpants, and I take them off when I get to the office. They're a little expensive, but solidly made. Aerostitch will also make adjustments for a custom fit, which is nice if you're a hard-to-fit size (I am). I have not found them to be particularly slippery. FYI, Aerostitch also makes a slip on one-piece suit which is really nice. Jesse I’ve been pretty happy with my Darien Light pants from Aerostich (aerostich.com).
