Leather is great, but most people will rarely wear 'em...  I only wear my riding pants when it's cold or raining...   :icon_rolleyes:

I must not be most people then. I actually eat rather slow and ride rather fast so I wear my leathers just about all the time. I am afraid I will have one of those moment's on a cloverleaf as I just about did 2 days ago where I forget that I dont have them on and stick my knee out to judge my lean angle. That would have been bad luckily I remembered to pick it up before I touched.

I have tour master dsx jeans. They're lined with leather in the knee, seat and hip. Best of both worlds, sorta...

A friend of mine put a pair of jeans on over his leathers once just to prove a point, we had a local guy kept bragging about dragging knee in Jeans.

The hole in the Jeans was 2" in diameter and all he did was brush it across the road surface for less than 1/2 a second at about 35mph. Jeans are not what you want to be wearing on the street.

Cal - don't suppose we could see some pix of them - the website doesn't show too much but I'm intrigued now :)  They look pretty nice - but could I wear the H2s to work?

Damn I like those Khaki's from sliders. Those would be just the ticket so I could ride to work without messing my Khaki's up by throwing leathers over them.

See good things come from 2 year old posts. No post should be left unreplied to.

Wow - I didn't even notice that.

Cal - what's your (now 2 year old) opinion on those jeans?
