    Help with Pants!

    Ok so I have yet to purchase a pair of riding pants. I wear Jeans all the time but i know that does not help much. I want to actually someday hit the track but first need to take the total control course and need either a full suit, or leather pants to do so. Any suggestions? I have currently an Icon tarmac Jacket for hot days and an Icon Hero Leather Jacket for colder days. Always wear my AGV helmet and my icon leather team gloves with gauntlet. Any suggestions on a pair of comfortable pants? Either textile or leather. Preferably with armor/kneepads.

    As for pants: I like the Alpinestars track pants

    As for suits: I again like Alpinestars

    If you need some, I can hook you up with a sweet deal on anything you decide to get. Let me know.

    They are awesome. Started track days in them before racing. Might sell them if interested. PM me.

    What size do you wear?

    If you're looking for a set of leathers, I have a set of Teknic Sport leather pants I'm trying to sell.

    Not sure on exact size, I normally wear 34-32 in pants. 34's are usually a little big on me so 32's?

    I wear a 32-34, and these are good in the length, but a little big for me in the waist. I'd bet they'll fit you just right. Thread is here: http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=22918

    The astar pants had great protection but my pair was really limiting my movement on the bike. They were my first pair so I thought thats how it was and riding in jeans i felt naked but was amazed how much easier it was to move on the bike. I then got my first 1 piece teknic and could move around a lot easier. I didnt really think to much of it at first. but I gave my astar stuff to my boy Wesley and he was having the same problem. His was even worse to the point it caused him discomfert. So He threw on my teknic for 1 session and the problem went completly away and he had knee down everywhere rt away. So it may of been just the pair i got but I wouldnt buy another pair.
