ok, my leathers are at the tailor, I want to hit the twisties tomorrow so here is my choice

I wear a Textile jacket and nice gloves and....

Jeans with knee and shin guards and some boots or

Motocross pants knee and shin guards and boots. ??

looking at it, I think my motocross pants have more protection. (Set of Thor Core pants) But Im not sure

I am going to keep it reserved, but you never know. What do you guys wear beside leathers?

Thanks, I have a 1 piece, its getting tailored. I know they both are not the best, just which one is better of the two.

maybe I am not wording things correctly. Guess I should just wear shorts

Heh, not everyone reads things in context. If I were you, I'd probably just wear the jeans. In the event that you DO go down, cotton doesn't melt to your skin, others have posted about how ER doctors say cotton is the easiest to get off the flesh, vs. MX pants literally melting to your skin (then again I've read that it doesn't...). So, it's your choice, just don't take the chances that you would if you were in your leathers:thumbup:

I would never ride agressive with out leathers. I still have my set from my racing the crotch rochets a while ago. I've seen some bad stuff from guys wearing jean, getting gravel scrubben out of them and losing about 2" of ass cheek.

I'm on a stock DRZ400sm with a pipe now, WAY less power and I keep the speeds down. I just need to ride and I know for this I dont have the ideal gear. That is a good point about the nylon melting. I'll go with the jeans.


Thanks
