I am seriously looking at getting some riding pants/jeans/leather/whatever. Since I have never purchased these things obviously I have a few questions.
I do not do track days, I pretty much tool around everywhere I go.. So I don't think I need a full on leather racing suit. I do think I need something a little sturdier than your run of the mill pair of jeans.
I have been looking at tons of different pants and trying to determine which would be better for my riding style.
I have been looking at the textile alot and have found both:
AGV Sport - Textile Pants - Telluride Textile Pants
and
Cortech by Tour Master HRX Series 2 Motorcycle Pants :: New Enough
While I don't know anything about these things maybe im looking in the wrong "type" of pant protection.
While I know leather is the best and your birthday suit is the worst what rates in the middle? Who makes the best product without having to get a full on racing im gonna lay my bike down at 300mph option?
If I was to order it online would I use my normal pants sizes? smaller? larger? boots where just plain odd.
Pretty much I am just looking for something that will give me much better protection than my normal hole in the left knee jeans, yet still be able to be comfortable enough to be in them for those occasional riding stints.
Any and all advice is welcome.
