    don't chu hate pants?

    Gearing up today, realized that the ass of my Joe Rocket "Alter Ego" pants are worn and a little holey from when I dumped the 636 a while back. Now I need new motorcycle pants. *sigh* Any suggestions?

    I liked the alter ego pants because they had a big vent, relatively easy to get on and off, had an 8" zipper to connect to my JR jacket and also had a liner so they could be warm if I needed. The size was perfect so that I was comfortable with jeans or no pants under them.

    I'm considering just going for a full suit, but don't have an aerostitch budget: http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...ycle_suit.html

    I'd get the Joe Rocket Alter Ego 2 pants, but I'm just impressed by JR's durability and they lack the big zipper to connect to my jacket.

    I have one of these: http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...ycle_suit.html
    That I'm pretty stoked on. Full quilty liner, big mesh zip panel in the front, and fairly inexpensive. I haven't given it the crash test (yet), but for the $, I'm pretty satisfied.

    I also own the alter ego pants. the suit is heavier duty.

    It looks good, but I'm not thrilled about how the ventilation system looks. Have you been out in the heat yet?

    Yup. The torso vents well actually. I just unzip the tops of the legs a couple inches to get some air up my legs. If it's hot enough to really sweat...your going to really sweat. Regardless of the gear.

    I have a pair of the Speed and Strength over pants, model Coast is Clear. The quality is great so far and they have removable panels for warmer days and a zip in rain&water layer.
