What kind of pants should I buy?

[B0000M]

anyone got any reccommendations on what kind of mx pants are good and reasonably priced? are the "over the boot" kind any good? should i stick with the traditional "under the boot" ones-...........

[telliman]

iv never bought new stuff, i had nick saunders and ollie sharpes trade me user names on my watch list and scored heaps of mint gear with little use for super cheap!
my last score i got fox 360s and two tops and gloves for $63, haha

got a link?

over the last 20 years i havnt had any leakage issues though, so it might be a waste of money for a feature i dont need

[Sammikins]

Hammer pants...

[B0000M]

theyre more suited to the step thru scooter design, the whole baggy crutch thing would get in the way on a bike i reckon...


fuck this is like the road section now........

Bottomless leather chaps?

I've ridden in hotpants before, didnt seem to have any problems, just dont fall off.

something with a rear flap in case you wanna take a dump before hitting a hairy bend

[laserracer]

:Oi: old class whats this rearflap ,hairybend stuff ?? you been playin with those hippys again ?? sounds pretty fishy to me , smells pretty fishy too:eek5:

[honda_power]

the first serious answer:

i vote Thor Core. Got given a pair of blue and grey 08's from a pro when he got his 09 gear... theyr bloody great. Had fox360s before that. The thors are a million times better, ill never go back to 360's. The glove wiper thing on the knees actually work quite well as well.

[cheese]

Don't get Oneil gear. Its crap. Not a fan of the fox gear after those boots I had!

[Rupe]

something with a rear flap in case you go riding with cheese


mmmm, not sure about that

[oldskool]

mmmm, not sure about that
avoids getting your gear drilled fulla holes

[LittleJohn]

I have fox, all good. Missus has Thor also good. I find you want "in boot" ones. The outside boot ones tend to fray and rip on the bottom. Also you want to look at what padding you want, some have hip pads some don't.

I generally look for last year stuff as it is half price.....

Could try http://www.motorcyclegear.co.nz/ they have heaps of specials

I got some fox nomad "over the boot" style pants, I do like them but they are well frayed/ripped and need patching, my last pants "inside the boot" lasted donkeys .....

[flyingcr250]

[barty5]

[Sammikins]

I got some gay old shift pants... just in case my hotpants are in the wash. :third:

[zzzbang]

Have you been using the dirt gear? My pants have worn pretty badly.

Holy mouldy cheese, cheese has holy pants! I can't complain about my Oneils, specially when the '08's are half price at Cyclespot!

[takitimu]

Make sure they are new ones, mine ( trademe specials ) are to tight on the knee & end up being restrictive.

[Reckless]

My Oneil elements didn't last long? Never owned fox or alpinstars type stuff so hard to compare but bought some M2R pants and shirt quite cheap and its surprisingly good quality!

[zzzbang]

Yes, using the dirt gear, Oneil hardware.

Elements arent great but the hardware hasnt even faded in about a years use

[krad_nz]

Got some Scott ones. Lasted just over a year now, and still going strong.

[tommorth]

ive got some oneal hardware gear seems to be holding up fine and i"ve hit the ground hard a few times only comment would be if your ordering online to get pants size above what you would usually wear as they seem a little on the small side
