Riding pants opinions.

[GQ*]

So these are the three on my short list. They aren't as cheap as I would like them to be but still very worth it if I have to "test" them. I had bought a pair of Mojave river road riding pants and really liked em, but they ran small and those turned into my wife's overpants instead of my riding pants :keke:

Anyone who has these, has used any of them, or knows of a better deal feel free to chime in :thumb:

thongs, they dont offer much protection but it sure does feel good when you hit a speed bump

[GQ*]

maybe I should just get them knee guards from my homie :keke:

[JRxGRUBZx]

lmao! yep!

[DANtheMan.]

i guess thy'll all be good textile is stronger ...but nothing beats leather though

[GQ*]

Yeah I know leather would have the best chance of surviving the crash, but I would rather be cool w/mesh and just have to replace it than be dying in leather in houston heat

[Gixxer Geezer]

[GQ*]

I may just stick w/regular pants and throw some knee armour on underneath...but the advantage of the riding pants is the hip protection too :shrug:

Skingrafts are not cool.

Any way you slice it, your body releases sweat much easier than it releases blood.

Good luck with your hunt.

I had the Joe Rockets 2.0 mesh. They were comfy, practical, and had good ventilation. I never crash tested them...luckily.

[GQ*]

the 2.0 doesn't have a liner, correct?

[Squoddybody]

:rofl: she's talking about the bike Jimmy, calm down......:eek3: wait you were talking about the bike right???

:keke:

I have leather pants that I wear if I'm going to be riding hard or all day- but I mostly just ride in jeans.

[BigComfy]

Nope...

Go buy some perforated leathers man:nod:

Blasphemy!!! If you wreck in jeans your going to ruin that asset of yours:angry7:

[texlurch]

My everyday wear is some Dickie work pants with double knees, and kneepads underneath. I tested a pair sliding along the edge of an asphalt road and it didn't get thru the second layer..

The wife has some of the Fieldsheer 4 season and they are fairly substantial.

But I'll still have my great personality! :D That's all that REALLY matters.
