Default Pants/gear
Hi everyone, a little while back I remember reading a post about protective clothing and it was a general consensus that most people didn't pay attention to pants. Someone posted a link to a manufacturer that had several types of pants with and without armor, different materials, etc, and a really cool Flash-based site where the various pants were in a circle that would rotate to feature a selected pair. Now that it's getting colder, I'm looking into getting some, but can't find that thread for the life of me, I'd like to check them out again! Anyone have any idea what site that was?

Thanks!

I am looking for a stealership that has Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0 pants in stock. Lots say we can order.

I have that weird body style/size that needs to try on stuff before I buy so that I know they will fit.

A radius range of 150 miles from Gordon Texas would be nice.

I ride with pants most of the time now. I have the JR Alter Ego, and the removable strip vent is nice.

I've been through knee-rash, and it's not fun.

The guy who made my jacket said he could make me a pair of pants. It might been an investment for this year.

Sorry no name brand, kinda ran into him coming out of a leather shop.

I have always made it a habit of riding with my pants on.

Don't use the bike though, have a buddy pull you behind a pickup. Please post pics with the testing review.

When I was a kid, we used to do that on sleds when it snowed. Probably get arrested these days for child endangerment. Ahh, good times.
