motorcycle pants

[JRider]

My instructor at the BRC suggested that we buy some motorcycle pants to protect the lower body. The pants are made out of the same material as the jacket is. He said that if you fall in jeans you could scar up your legs and theres no padding for the knees. Has anyone seen some motorcycle pants for less than 200 bucks?

We have bought from them several times and they are top notch.  Check out their close-outs too.

WOW. $51 shipped. That is a steal. I'm looking for a pair but the are no longer around that price, at least not in my size. What do you guys think of these on ebay?

I use these, http://www.hoodjeans.co.uk/  they have a "Aramid" lining ( bit like kevlar) and look very much like ordinary jeans. You can put additional "EC" armour if you wish. The one I use is the ND4. very comfortable off and on the bike.

There are Draggin Jeans...

Kevlar Reinforced


I got mine for less than AUS $200

I have the Alpinestar mesh pants that goes over my jeans.  Very airy.  Only one complaint:  since I am slim, the waist adjustment is as tight as it can get, and the hooks on the flap catches the pants beyond the loops and mars the pant fabric somewhat.  Just a little unsightly, but my top covers it most of the time so no big deal.

Bought them from newenough.com.

I use these and they are just like a normal pair of trousers but stronger so hopefully will not rip in a fall.

yeah i bought the pants as an over pants for my commute...though the description say its not an over pants...as you can see the pants that i bought hass zipper and button on the side for quick removal...its also a tad bigger....so i hope itll do...newenough has a firstgear overpants in  their closeout section....ive seen that in person and its quite nice...pricey for me though at that time..

[calamari]

I need pants too 

question... when buying online, how do you make sure you get the right size for you? I'm thinking about overpants, something like this one: Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0, or this one too: Alpinestars Air-Flo Textile, and I may even try to get this: Joe Rocket Alter Ego Textile.

maybe I should just give up and get this: awesomeness.

How do the sizing go on those. Are they bigger than the normal size or run the same exact sizing.

[Grainbelt]

First gear overpants look and feel very nice, I tried on a pair last summer. There's a removable liner and whatnot. Buy the size you usually would, they are sized to go over pants.

I just bought a pair of Draggin Jeans and they are pretty comfortable to wear all day, even off the bike.  Kevlar inside at the knees and butt, reinforced stiching all over.  No armor unfortunately.  The local shop here sells them for $110.

Will the ankles on these pants go over boots? They look like they won't.

[Cal Price]

Normally overpants have a zipped vent so they will go over boots. on the "Hood" site I posted earlier there is information about size and fit.

With a 1.5 mile commute, wouldn't it make more sense to walk? Or at least bicycle? I'm 1.0 mi from work, and I just can't justify driving my GS to work...

Don't get these!!!  They suck.  I went down in them and they were by far my weak link in gear.  I got major rash where these jeans failed.  I only wear leather now.  I have reviewed them several times and they get a big thumbs down.
