Assuming you already have a jacket, the same brand. That way you can buy the type of pants that will zip to it. You don't want to crash geared up and have your back and stomach ate up with roadrash.

Tracks require they zip together, at least the 8 inch in the back of the pants. You wanted cheap, I ride year round in Frank Thomas and love them. I got an after thanksgiving sale on them for 125. Sliders will be an extra 25 bucks depending on where you get them.

My suit is a 2 peice Joe Rocket. It's almost 10 years old and is still in great condition, even the velcro on the knees for replacing pucks has held up fine. I've taken care of it and fortunately I've never hit the road. I have zero complaints with them and I'de buy their stuff again.
If you like the jacket chances are you'll like the pants too.

Doesn't matter, you can always change pucks. If you start knee draggin alot you'll go through them anyway.

I bought joe rocket pants. Close out at New Enough. Most pants usually come with the mating half of the zipper so you can have it sewn into any jacket of your choice. I did my own. Mated my Joe pants to an AVG jacket.

A leather shop can do it for you.

Also, check the track rules where you will be going. I see alot of them requiring a 360 zipper not just the 8" one.

I've got a pair of Joe Rocket pants that are almost worm to the point of falling apart in some areas and will need to be replaced soon...but they are sooooo much more comfortable (broken in might be more appropriate) than my one piece AlpineStars~!~

The Joe Rocket Speedmaster 5.0 pants are great, Russ! I have the perforated kind, so I can still wear them through summer. Highly recommended.
