Riding Gear (pants)

[chupacabrah]

do you think those alpinestar air flo pants would be better/just as good as these teknic supervent pants ( http://www.motorcycle-superstore.co...113&division=1# ) for the purpose to wear over shorts or other pants?

I cant tell about the teknic's zippers and such tho, as the alpinestar pants have several to be accessible--comin all the way up to the knee or whatever

I have a teknic jacket that would zip up to the pants, but if it'd be a pain, i wouldnt bother with it, and just roll w/ the alpinestars

what do you guys think?

[scratch]

The Alpinestars are at least 600 denier, but have no armor as the Teknic does. And the Teknic doesn't state what denier its pants are and that I would be very, very leery of. The Teknic pants are $119. I didn't look to see what the Alpinestars cost, but in my opinion, I'd get the Alpinestars. Depends on how much they cost.

Now, just for comparison, I bought a pair of Fieldsheer Carbolex overpants for $50 that are 500 denier, no armor. Just pull over my pants (or, soon to be shorts, with the weather). If you want armor, I would suggest either First Gear or TourMaster overpants, but I don't have any real experience with these.
