I've got a pair of Draggin Jeans and the First Gear mesh overpants.  I like 'em both, haven't really tested either of them out though.  Had a low speed low side, probably 10-15 mph, in the Draggin Jeans, didn't even scuff the denim.  The First Gear pants are great, very comfortable and suitable for 3 season use with the liner.  Especially good for us tall guys, unlike the similar Joe Rocket offering they come in a "tall" size.

Fieldsheer Carbolex overpants, $50, quick on/off, 500denier.  And, they crash well.  See: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=11184.msg92813#msg92813

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

Yes.

The only reason I didn't go with the First Gear pants is the denier (330), but they do have armor; the Fieldsheer does not.  My next pair is going to be TourMaster's Cortech overpant ($200, 1000denier and armor (I need something water-resistant)).

Hi there,
I just bought the First Geat HT Overpants from newenough.com for $119 and they are great!

Easy to put on and take off because of the full length leg zippers, even over my boots and jeans. I also bought the $19 improved knee armor and installed them into the pants with the standard foam knee armor for extra protection. The hot set-up.
They are nice pants, and the removeable liners make them great in different kinds of weather, which is perfect for riding here in PA. They're also waterproof and comfortable.
I was inspired to buy these, my first pair of motorcycle leg gear, after Pantablo's post last week about the $89 leather pants on sale from NewEnough.com. I didn't want leather for various reasons, but have long wanted better protective gear for my legs while riding my bike.
So thanks Pantablo for inspiring me to get these after 30 years of riding in jeans!
Yours,
Todd
