I was expecting some horsey gals in tight riding pants.

Disappointed.

I am looking at these as a budget alternative.

They all look similar from three different suppliers. Has anyone had any experience with any of these three? They are all lower end gear, looks like it is even made by the same manufacturer, just branded differently. And they are all roughly the same price. Not sure which to choose.

Other than Draggins I have yet to see camouflage pants in a quality build. And even then you are trading safety features for a look and comfort level you find satisfactory.

EOD it is all about the magic triangle.
Quality, style, price.
Pick 2.

If your on a budget getting gear that will protect you is number one. The fact you will need to replace it is secondary. All gear dies. Cheap gear dies faster. Some cheap gear lasts well but not much and it is hard to pick.

What you need to look for:
Is there armour where you want armour? It is a choice and you can chose to go without. Just make sure you know what you're choosing and if you choose it it had to be where it will help.

Is the armour CE other standards approved? Not all good armour has paid to be tested and certified but if you're not an expert look for a cert.

Is the material at least 200D for town use or 400D for majority of your kms are on the open road? I have seen 100-800. They are priced accordingly and survive gravel rash accordingly.

Do they work with your boots?
No point getting tuck in pants if your boots have no room for pants.

Do you need them to be waterproof / vented / both? For each feature you add add some more notes to the pile.

If you only need some waterproof ness not heaps you can get spray on treatments, but only a membrane and a good material and treatment is waterproof to any meaningful degree.

Do they fit in a riding position? No good hanging your builder out in the rain to save a buck.

Is it on special? If it is not it is probably overpriced because we are a small market in a small country. Get used to it or learn to negotiate.

I hope this helps.

I would rate all of the 1-tonne and lifestyle imports gear I have seen in person.

The CNELL gear can be a bit hit and miss. I like their mid level stuff but thought their cheaper stuff and their top of the range stuff overpriced.
Shit zippers. Poor stitching. Uneven panels.

I have 1-tonne leather pants and intend buying more gear from them soon.

cnell pants are shit mate, (I had a set, the stitching is so bad, NO WAY WORTH $160 I bought for) ended up buying some $90 dririder pants which are 10x better in stitch strength/craftmanship

I am starting a club called the Bitch Ass Faggots. We have strict membership criteria but you can join if you want. And you get a pair of pants like these:

Yes, that's me, on my way to work this morning in my camo pants and lace up boots.

Its how we roll in the big city.

Have a pair of ordinary kevlar jeans from Lifestyle which have proved to be a great buy... have zips at the bottom of the legs to make putting on over boots easier... also have some genuine US Draggin jeans and rate the Lifestyle as almost as good...

yup!
also wondering WHY a motorcyclist (whose main problem on the road is that twerps in cages are seeing-deficient "sorry mate, didn't SEE you") would willingly wear something specifically designed to fade the wearer into the background??

What next? a cloak of invisibility? tsk, tsk!

This thread is a crack up. Especially the comments on the camo not being obvious enough. The most popular colour helmets is black, ditto riding gear - heck Camo is darn right bright.

I'm riding in black on black gear on a black bike on a black road. My helmet does have vivid green and orange graphics (on a black base)!

are you Hotblack Desiato? Is this a stunt ship headed for the heart of the sun?

I was going to post my usual internet response to this (along the lines of "Fuck off Noddy") but I decided on a more thoughtful approach.

I presume that instead of the dark clothing I am wearing you favour, perhaps, brigher colours? Hi Viz (shudder) perhaps?

I am yet to be convinced of the benefits of the same. If there are benefits to same (please, provide me with some peer reviewed properly scientific evidence for my consideration) I suggest to you that those benefits are best applied above the waist: after all the sightline of the average motorist would seem to suggest that the torso and helmet would be the most visible part of the motorcyclist, not the trousers. So if there is an argument for it, it should be for jackets and helmets and backpacks. I believe that in the States where it was compulsory for motorcyclists to ride wearing hi vis on Army or Navy bases, it only applied to the upper body. I also believe that there was found to be no empirical evidence of any benefit for the rule and it has been abandoned. I also believe (particularly in this town) that Hi Viz makes you practically invisible. Because EVERYBODY's wearing that shit. Why even I, a moribund office dweller, own a fucking stupid orange hard hat, and a bright green Hi Viz vest. Stupid earthquakes.

Further, our glorious popo, paragons of safety and riding skill all, full of derring-do, and riding beached whales of white BMW's equipped with sirens and lights and whatnot, have hi-vis only on their upper (very manly, to a man) torsos.

My experience suggests to me that if a motorist fails to see a BRIGHT MOTHERFUCKING ORANGE* motorcycle, with two upgraded headlights chucking out many lumens of light, then the colour of the riders trousers will make vanishingly little difference. And I find the dark colour useful after I have shit myself because said drivers have failed to see me.

So there.

*technically it is "Matt Burnt Orange" but whatever.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger!

I agree with you... don't know why you're getting your toga in a knot. I merely made the observation that the whole purpose of "camouflage" is to make the wearer [B]harder[B] to see. (The reason it was invented in the first place.) The matte burnt orange You mention is hardly camouflage; at a pinch it could be called "camo styled" as I said before. I still have visions of Spitfires painted so as to look like cloudy skies.
I might ad that my riding jacket is black and pants are Teknic kevlar lined jeans.

I'm with HDC in Christchurch City - we are so bloody Hi-Vizzed up that someone riding in black actually may stand out from the crowd! Over saturation of anything kills the impact.

To which I would reply, "It's not true camo; rather camo STYLED clothing."

More accurately Disruptive Pattern Material.

I like my "acid" yellow DPM draggins. They are colourful enough that you see people notice you. Comfy as too. Just no armour.

I think your previous comment is incorrect. The 'SMIDSY' line relates to more than just the leg area, wearing shorts/Textile/leather or draggin camo/jeans has stuff all to with being seen....by anyone.
