Yeah, the Bohn Armor is leggings with CE armor built in at all the impact points and it will fit under your pants. Jeans are worthless vs road rash. Sometimes I wear heavy canvas Kuhl pants. The nice thing with Bohn is it's cool. Once it gets below 80, I'll wear leather mostly. Vanson is the best leather money can buy, IMO. Protip - Check out used Vanson on Poshmark.
Knew a guy in the AF that wrecked at 80+ mph on a ride. Rather I think he hit a slick patch of something and laid it out, not really a wreck I guess. He had a suit of stuff he wore. He wound up on his back going down the road at highway speeds. Came to a sliding stop, stood up and was fine. Somehow had no broken bones or road rash but his bike needed some serious repairs.
He was either in a leather or textile suit. It isn't the sliding that hurts (other than road rash) it's the stopping part. Your friend is very lucky. That's usually not the outcome.
