I ordered this protector to use with the Dianese Air-2 which didn't come with a back protector. The Wave G was recommended by customer service and it is indeed a big (style) step-up over the protector included in the Dianese Portland 2 (I was trying to decide between these two jackets.) It is a lower profile and reduces the "hump-back" look that some of them have.
The ONLY drawback with this jacket/shield combo is that the protector is egg shaped, and the pocket is square. The protector is often shifted over to one side or the other. I am likely going to try to find a way (velcro? pins?) to keep it centered.

I spent a long time looking for kevlar/denim riding pants and I like Dianese stuff in general. I did not expect these to either "flow" lots of air or keep me warm in the cold - and they don't. For mid temp days, they fit well and are quite comfortable and stylish. I actually like them a lot - but there are a few big drawbacks... I'm tall and thin - the fit in the waist means too short in the legs. Not a big deal with boots on, but still - I wear them off the bike too and hate the flood look. Certainly can't flip the cuffs to reveal the reflecto dealy-o. The "dagger" pocket described in Anthony's video looks cool but is actually useless - even for a dagger - just sayin'. The knee protection is somewhat flimsy. Others have said that at this price point there should be more robust armor and I agree.
In summary - I like these pants a lot but they have shortcomings in knee protection and length (get it?) and don't think you'll be able to stash your phone or wallet in the dagger pocket.

Can I put these pants on with my boots on?
Is there enough room/clearance to put on and remove the pants with standard riding boots fitted?
absolutely not. These are like any jeans you've ever owned. Forget about getting them on or off even with your slippers on.
