Thanks for the well wishes, guys. "I'll be baaaack..."

I solved the pants issue with this choice:

... a *mesh pullover* with armor in all right spots (after adding the optional hip armor), and a liner for cold mornings. Full length zippers have them on / off in under 20 secs each leg. Easy! ...and really comfy even in 100 deg afternoon freeway traffic.

Not cheap, but neither is skin / bone.
