My inquiry is a general questionnaire specifically to motorcycle pants. I'm blessed with very good gear to use. But all of my riding pants are over the top heavy duty for short rides around town. I've seen some club members wearing capable and, importantly easy to use pants, when not riding. Kurt and Ross I've noticed have capable riding pants recently. All of my pants are bulky, clunky to walk in, and I want something better than regular jeans. I've even considered Carhartt heavy duty cargo pants.
My new pants are definitely much more bulky and clunky than jeans. Quite heavy material. I bought them more because, for everyday riding, I didn’t like the mesh over top of jeans that I’ve been using for years. I think my new pants will be hot in hot weather, but they do have vent zips, so we’ll see.
