Default Ballistic Pants

Tried something new. Think somebody else might like these. You know how hard it can be to git in and out of chaps. And if it rains you git wet. Well these pants are 100% waterproof and they will keep you as warm as chaps. They are easier to git in and out of too, Check them out the next time you ride and the weather ain't right.

Their to baggy to do any good. Armor pants do best when they fit tight like leathers.

Hey they keep the cold air off. they are waterproof. Easy to git in and out of. That's all I wanted them for. They felt great to me. I had 2 specific uses . Really didn't look at them for the body armor.

I have used a set from Fieldsheer for a few years and the were styled a little different, but then they were only $50.00. Great at keeping ya dry and they do break the wind. That said I have chappes also and I wear them if its just cold with long johns and flannel lined jeans.

I'll stick with my bluejeans and longjohns.

If I get wet I can always carry an extra pair of pants.

Ride 6 hours in 43 degree rainyweather in jeans and longjohns and you'll notice the difference with waterproof gear. Talk about shrinkage. A good investment in these parts.

I have a Joe Rockettextile jacket and pants. I use it mostly when touring, so I don't have to carry rain gear and extra cold weather clothes.When things get warm Iremove the fleece liner and open the vents.Textile is more comfortablethan leather and it breathes better.

I'm not understanding something - how are chaps hard to get in or out of?? Mine zip on the side, easiest thing in the world to manage, I thought.
I looked at the advertised pants tho - look like they're not made for taller riders.

How old are you? No gut ! When its cold enough to go out and ride and you have yer chaps on and it rains yer butt gits wet right. These pants will keep you warm and dry. You step into them and pull the zippers down.
