turbowrenchhead Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I've been looking around for some riding pants that has heat resistance patches on the calf's so the pipes don't melt your pants and also will hold up to rain/wet conditions. Any suggestions? Quote
Vicstuff Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Shift recons have leather on 1 side and I cut a piece and stitched it in on the other work good for me. The fly patrol pants did good for me to. Problem you'll run into is most don't have anything on both sides just one Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I use the Shift recons zip offs, or just jeans. I sprayed my shift pats with water resistant coating for just extra dryness, same shit i use on my snow pants. Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Posted April 18, 2013 Shift recon is 100% nylon. Not good for rain/wet conditions. I tried some nylon riding wear a couple years ago and rode in the rain. My jeans were soaked after a couple hours. No fun. Quote
Vicstuff Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Get some klim pants or snow pants if your worried about getting wet or spray whatever down with scotch guard Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Posted April 18, 2013 I like riding in jeans when the weather is nice. I don't have much faith in nylon sprayed down with water repellent. After 2-3 hours riding hard in the rain, I bet your jeans under would be soaked. Quote
Scrubtherubber Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 if i go out in the rain i expect to get wet, but I to also like my shift recons, or my old school Lbz cow prints Quote

turbowrenchhead Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 I'm looking for a straight up rain suit now. I'll ride with jeans and pack a rain suit along. I haven't found a zip off leg pant yet. Quote
jayhawkatv Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 Why are riding pants better then jeans? My ass gets chapped as hell at the dunes after a day,would riding pants cure this? Or should I just ride standing up all the time lol? Quote
