[dsn_klr650] overpants too hot? for nova scotia? nklr

[Enlow, Kyle S]

I don't know what type of riding you will be doing but I mainly ride on the road. I bought a pair of Joe Rocket Ballistic Pants. They are constructed of heavy cordura and have knee pads and hip pads. I commute to work about 30 miles in southern Indiana and wear them over my jeans. They are only uncomfortable when the temp is over 85. But then what isn't. They cost 129.00 not a large investment. I don't know how they would perform if I went down. Probably not like an aerostitch but then again they don' cost near as much. -----Original Message----- From: InWoods13@...

Usually always had mx pants w/pads on. The pants never tore, the pads always helped. Those old mx pants would shred on asphalt, as the jeans I wore on occasion. I realize that riding on the road is a different world & the stakes go up Big time. Not going to go into road crash stories. Spend the most that you can on pants designed for crashing on the street. The only way you'll regret buying them is if you don't use them. Removable liner & zippered vents work great. Deal with what heat there is, protect yourself as best you can. Have great tour!
