Title: Looking for Riding Pants (that look like normal jeans)
Post by: tussey on December 28, 2007, 04:35:00 PM
Looking for Riding Pants (that look like normal jeans) and breathe like Egyptian cotton.


I need a pair of riding pants that will
a) protect my legs and knees
b) not make me look like a tool bag walking around campus
c) be wearable in 90+ degree FL weather.

thanks.  :2guns: :2guns:

Icon makes a bunch. Joe Rocket makes some as well.

Just google motorcycle apparel. Find a sight and take a gander.

yeah, Draggin's are the go - nice straight cuts that look respectable.  I'm an "exec" in a rather large IT company and I've no qualms wearing them into a meeting.

they've saved me more than once too.  the day after I bought my first pair I managed to stack, and two years later I'm still wearing the same pair!!  I've since bought another two pairs and swear by them.

bd.

I've got the Icon anthem pants. Very comfy and durable. Love to wear them even when I'm not riding the bike. Good wind protection, absolutely no rain protection  :laugh: .
