 They also have the "mesh" pants so I might go that way. I've never found a pair of riding jeans that I've been completely happy with and the leather is just a little much. Yes I am a wimp!!! I keep looking at the Shift Havok pants (leather/nylon hybrid) but they only come in black and I'd rather get white/black. Nylon has come a long way in recent years so I'm ready to give it another chance.

I've never seen someone wearing overpants so I know nothing about them.
Can you wear them alone or do you honestly wear them OVER other pants?

I don't know how they get that name really. They size them the same as pants but then say for you to buy a size larger if you plan to wear them OVER pants... The nylon pants I have now aren't armored and just have padding in the hip and a double knee and butt area. That's okay because I wear my knee armor all the time anyway but I'd like something more protective but cooler than even perforated leather. I basically want it all dammit!!!! I've considered the armored shorts, with my knee armor and a decent pair of jeans...I just don't think I'd feel comfortable riding hard. Plus, I already have under armor pants that are the monkey butt kings of the world!!!

I usuallywear my A*'s as OVER pants... because I took the armor out and have my separate A* armor I wear... but I've worn them many times as just pants with armor under them.

I've got the Alpinestar Street Cargo's that I throw over my jeans... but honestly.... I just wear my jeans... though I just commute anymore... not much intresting riding down here...
the A* Street Cargo's is what I was wearing when I wrecked my ZZR... with the A* knee and shin armor... good combo. the knees are double thickness.. and I burnta couple small holes through the first layer... but they breathe fairly well... but not water proof at all |
