Motorcycle Overpants

motorcycle overpants
how many of you have motorcycle pants? Do you recommend them?

I have every other piece of gear except pants

scorpion exo-400 helmet
leather and textile jackets
nice leather gloves
sidi vertigo corsas

I wear jeans when I ride. But I was told by a fellow rider to imagine putting a bag of potatos in my jeans and then tye them to my truck and go for a short ride around the block and see how my jeans hold up. It made sense, so I started looking for pants.

If you have suggestions, Id like to hear them. I dont like the jean looking motorcycle pants or leather pants. I want some textile overpants if I get anything.

newenough and motorcycle superstore have some good prices. But wanted to see how many people wear motorcycle pants.

I recommend cycle pants.

I have three different pairs.
Joe Rocket Phoenix 2.0
Joe Rocket Ballistic 3.0
Gerbing Union Ridge Heated pants.

All I have used is textile riding gear. The armor and padding prevented any injuring of my shoulder and arm when I went down last year after hitting a dog. Jeans did not protect my right knee. Suffered road rash that took five weeks to heal. The riding pants would have saved my knee. Boots with hard toes protected my feet. Top of boots all abraded. I never felt a thing.
One suggestion, buy a size taller than you normally wear in regular jeans. The Joe Rockets Ballistics are X-Tall. The Gerbings are two inches longer than their X-Talls. Gerbing is a great company.
Good Luck
