i recently picked up a Shoei TZ-R helmet....

right now im waiting for my Joe Rocket 990 leather, Joe Rocket Mercury Gloves, and Oxtar SS performance boots....

the last thing i want to pick up is pants...or anything for leg protection.....

anybody got an adivce for me or reviews of pants they have picked up??

Welcome!

Great helmet!  I have two.  Get a FogCity ProShield insert so it doesn't fog up so much on ya.  And, get another shield for it, too (one tinted, one clear, with the insert).

a-stars pants are good. their bat pant is what I used even on all the trackdays I did, up until just recently when I got a 1-pc suit. check newenough.com for closeouts.

Also, the matching brand pants to the jacket will have a matching zipper to connect them. But, any pant you buy will come with BOTH sides of that zipper so you can have it installed by an alteration shop.

will textile pants hold up in an accident??...

im leaning for textile over pants....but will they offer protection good enough?..

i like alot of what joe rocket and first gear is offering..are both brands good enough??

If you get textile, be sure to get no less than 500denier.  Have you seen what happened to me in the link above?

yeh i seen the pics...for the most part did you feel that textiles work as wel as you wanted...you said you if u had longer pants that you wouldnt have gotten busted up on ur knee as bad...

Yes, these worked almost as well as I wanted.  I so wish I had full length jeans on underneath.  I now wish for higher denier.  I am looking towards TourMaster Cortech overpants, now.

yeh i was scoping on the newenough site and im leaning onto picking up a  pair of Tourmaster Caliber pants.....im still checking out other brands also but most likely i think imma pick these up..
