You wouldn't need the full circumference zipper, just the short one to keep the jacket from separating from the pants in the back if you were to ever go down.

Didn't matter... they were beyond immodest! LOL

Funny that those who wear textile pants and those who ride butt-naked are tied in the polls (9.26%). Just a coincidence??? <----sarcasm (rolls eyes!)

After all, I know that I am the only one who rides naked here, and I get a lot of complaints.

i usually wear jeans, gloves, helmet, boots, and leather jacket on the highways, but i have a 1pc suit, gauntlets, race boots, for racing.

I usually wear plain old jeans for causual riding around town.

Anytime I go out for a "serious" ride I wear my fieldsheer leather pants that zip into my textile jacket.
I feel much safer in my leather, but they are just not appropriate for all the time riding.

Hi,
Ironically, when I should be wearing the riding pants I am not and when I should, then only sometimes. When I am riding in the mountains I am always wearing riding pants with armor. I also ride with them on extended trips. They flow more air, do not bind, and are generally more comfortable then jeans. I highly suggest wearing the purpose built pants, leather or textile. Better then jeans all around.

steve carrell would tell you that exposing nether-regions is nothing to worry about... :lol:

Ummm... i'm a little shy so I don't go completely naked... I do wear a jock strap though! Love feelin the nice breeze running through the hair on my chest! (unfortunately I started losin the hair on my head around 18 years old)

In all seriousness though I usually just wear jeans.

I ordered two pairs of pants from Jafrum.com
one was textile (for hot days)
one was rain pants for cool days.

I've been in 30's temps and been very warm with the rain pants.

Each pair cost ~ $50.

i bought a pair of sixsixone knee/shin guard and commuting or on the twisties i make sure i wear them underneath jeans/pants don't know if i will still do it when the summer is on full blast..

**JonKerr** · 04-17-2010, 08:12 PM

I'm really thinking about getting THESE. I'm getting pretty close to getting my knee down and even though I wear my 661 knee/shin guards and if I did touch the knee down it would just tear the jeans, I would like to get these and put pucks on like I should have.
