Protective Jeans/Summer Gloves?

[KevyzToy]

I've got the previous model of these Tourmaster gloves. Had them for like 5 years. Tour Master :: Gloves :: GX WP Glove

I wear Draggin Jeans when I'm not in full leathers. I wear Under Armour underneath to help with the sweating.

Draggin jeans are near impossible to get, they are on back order everywhere unless you want to settle for black which i hear doesn't fade too nicely. I managed to get the last pair from one place in blue but i had to get them with a 36" inseam. I figured i can get them tailored and i wont have to wait for them to come off back order. Looking forward to receiving them soon.

as for gloves in the summer ive had 2 pairs of these olympia gel gloves and while they dont offer much protection, you can wear these in 100 degree heat and they will be awesome. The air just flows right through them.

Educate me please... What is the point of wearing gloves that offer little or no protection? Why bother to wear gloves at all, at that point? Unless one is only worried about sun burn or wind abrasion?

Educate yourself dude, its personal preference. If it makes you feel better they actually DO have leather palms. Just not any of that hard plastic material or shiny chrome/copper stuff on the knuckles that make you look like Klytus from Flash Gordon.

Trashman900C, I suspect you might be a bit warm to say the least on a hot day, however I would much rather be a bit warm than be wishing I wasn't having to regrow skin... Once you have ground through whatever you might have been wearing, ground through your skin, and ground down some of your bone/s while sliding along pavement... Being a bit warm / hot - even uncomfortably so, and well prepared / dressed to ride is NOTHING! Unfortunately I can speak from experience...

Hey Robb, have you gone to ready riders in northport? The owner has a few pairs of the cortech dsx denim if you want to go there and try them on which i did. I didnt like the way the crotch hangs too low since im not really into hip hop. Im glad i tried it on because i was all ready to buy online. But at least thats my opinion, you might like them and its not far from you and worth the ride there. Hes great with responding to email too and has a nice selection of apparel and some aftermarket parts too.

I like looking like Flash Gordon in my Icon TiMax gloves! And being that they're all leather, they do hold up in a slide.

[streak07]

I got icon recon pants. Ventilated crotch is great in the summer and aramid knees with double denim. I can't wear textile crotch rocket pants in public, it's against my religion.

[FatCat]

I wear Sliders Jeans, slacks and cargo pants. Competition Accessories Competition Accessories: Automotive, Motorcycles, Atv, Outdoor, Sports, Recreation, Events, Rally, Bike Week has them. I can't wear jeans to work so I got the khaki pants and wear them almost everyday.

I can't really say they are hotter than regular slacks. I don't think the jeans are much hotter than Levis, but they are a bit heavier material.

I just purchased a pair of Icon women's jeans from DennisKirk since it was in the closeout sales. Not sure what that is like though, but at $52, i thought i;d give it a go. Let's see if i can get my fat rear into them though. The only size left was Size3. I;m hoping i can still wear a 3. siighh

Btw.. they hv some Icon Men's jeans too. Limited left though

I'm betting they'll look great on you, Deb! Of course, we don't believe anything around here unless we see a picture!!!!

I have a pair of the Cortech DSX pants in black. Color hasn't faded. They were a little larger in the waist than normal sizing, but they fit fine with my winter gear. I took the armour out of mine because they weren't located in the right places. Seem to be well made. I would definitely try them on first if you can.

I suspect most people would say your doing well if you can still fit a 3!

I have the Cortech DSX jeans with armor...love em...my Firstgear pants were just too hot, the jeans are great, the armor is low when you walk but thats so they slide into position when seated, they're comfy and the armor is adjusted by velcro...I'll buy another pair in a heartbeat
