Bike pants that breathe (for summer)?

[rphenix]

Ok I've got a couple of pair of motorcycle pants the best ones so far seem to be the armoured mesh style pants (not sure what u call'em) with scotch bright piping /removable lining but they are still fricken hot on a sunny day especially if you've been exerting some effort prior to putting the pants on.

So without doing anything crazy like the Ozzie's and wearing shorts is there anything out there that offers protection but really does leave you cool?

Would brands make much of a difference or they all pretty much the same?

Ive got a pair of Joe Rocket perforated leather pants and there awsome for summer riding,although bloody cold in winter months:niceone:

If my pants started breathing I would be very disturbed :shit:

I've got some Spool summer pants which are pretty good.

There are some Moshin (or similar) mesh pants on Trademe at the moment. No idea if they are any good or not though.

Excellent might look into some. I wear my quasi leather jacket which I would expect to be very hot during summer but its not bad actually.

I bought my pants off Quasi...they have a mesh on the front near the top and are very comfortable to wear...also they have armour in the knees, and sliders.

Dont get too hot while riding either.

Breathing should be OK. Heavy breathing though???
