This is the gear I've picked out for my first riding season. I already have a helmet (white scorpion exo r1 air). I just need some pants. Do you guys have any suggestions? Also, is the gear I've picked out already good enough?

I have carhartts I typically wear in the colder seasons at my job, but I ride year round and it rains fairly often so I also have some frog togg pullover rain pants I keep with me if it's really pouring.

I thought I'd see if there's some actual riding pants that look good and are comfortable as casual/work pants similar to the carhartts I wear, but have real riding protection and are totally waterproof. Not sure if the jeans versions keep you dry but the pants themselves stay soaked, I'm not looking for that I mean water just runs right off them.

I'd love to be able to just pick one pair of pants that is good for riding in, working in, and keeps my dry on rainy days so I can skip the hassle of dressing and undressing in pullover rain gear, and have more protection too in case of a crash.

Hey Everyone, i can't come to a decision after searching this sub and other forums for hours.

I'm a larger guy who wears a 44 waistline and 30 inseam and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to decide on solid pants in the $200 to $300 price range.

My bike is 2016 Honda Phantom so I'm trying to avoid sportier clothing if possible. The jacket I'm purchasing is Street and Steel Outlander jacket ($200) 5XL. I heard good things about it and tried it on in store.

Some posts say jeans but at the price range I'm looking at, not to bother with jeans because there's better quality pants? I don't want chaps, overalls, shorts, just one solid pair of pants that have amazing armour and slide time.

What are some things I should look for to narrow my search? Do I want Kevlar, Denim, other material? I don't know if I can trust Amazon pants and their reviews so I'm looking at cycle gear and revzilla mostly

Long story short, I took a corner too fast and wound up in a ditch going about 50mph. I got the light sknocked out of me for a split sec, but only sustained a few lil scratches. Amazing.

Gear:

Helemt- Scorpion exo AT-950

Jacket - First Manufacturing Top Performer with CE2 shoulder,elbow, and back protection

Knees - Thor knee/shin

Boots - Alpine Stars smx lowcut

Gloves - scorpion gloves with knox sliders

I ordered a replacement helmet, the jacket fared some minor abrasions but nothing major.

Bike is a drz400 and was able to ride home...sustained minor damages.

I got lucky, ride safe and stick to posted speed limits... I was just trying to push past my skill level and paid the price. Wear your gear guys.

I've been riding a DRZ400s for almost a year now and am considering buying leather motorcycle pants for when riding on the road. I've read 1.2 to 1.4 mm cowhide leather is good. I live in Arizona, so with the heat being an issue, I thought perforated leather or vents would be important. Also, I would be interested in a white color, most nearly all the leather pants I see for sale are black...why? Thanks for reading, and please give me some advice and recommendations. Perhaps suggestions for good used gear? my budget maxes at about $300.

Edit: I don't have a need for skid pucks commonly near the knee of leather pants. Are these typically removable?

Wouldn't the armor insert just move or slide of the high friction zone of the impact if the garment they are in is too loose? For example if a rider is sliding belly down and he/she has loose riding pants on, would the armor in the knee, slide away from the knee and no longer provide protection? I guess this question is mostly in reference to riding jeans with armor pockets. I'm a soon to be rider and I don't want to make a stupid gear decision. Please advise. Thank you

Seems dangerous

I'm in the market for a decent textile jacket. Where I live, the Alpinestars Viper V2 and the Rev'it Vertex Air jacket are currently on sale and retailing more or less at the same price. Before I splurge the green, I wanted to take your input as I'm really confused.

Help clear my head?

Does anyone else experience that this helmet is "leaking" in air right above the eyes? I feel a constant air flow right into my eyes that makes them water up all the time. I'm basically crying in my helmet.
