I've got some A* jeans with Kevlar and removable knee pads. I got them for a steal on closeout at my "local" MC shop. I wouldn't have paid the $129 retail for them, but for $40 they were a no brainer. I do wear them on most rides. I just got the new Icon Stryker Shorts with the d3o padding in them, so I think to combo of both of those should offer some good protection. Just hope I never need to test the jeans out.
