I have a pair of the summer pants listed on this page
http://darbi.co.nz/webpages/files/MO...s_Pants_01.pdf

I recommend them.

I also have both the jackets at the top. I recommend those too.

Thanks for that. Where did you get them from??

I would have to trade my bike in for a scooter for that wouldn't I ?

I only wear Draggins during summer. If it's wet, I put waterproof overtrousers on over them.

I don't like wearing leather or cordura in summer because they're both hot and uncomfortable.

Hey Hitch, what are Draggin jeans like for heat off the engine in the summer?

I find my DriRider pants more comfortable than ordinary jeans etc, even for short rides because of the engine heat! (damn nuisance once off the bike though)

That has prevented me from spending the money to try out the Draggins.

Funny, I used to ride around for bloody miles (and all hours of the day or night) with no safety gear at all when I first started riding bikes.

Now I don't like going anywhere without it, bit like seat belts in cars now, feel naked without it on!

(for younger readers: you either couldn't get safety gear, or it was cost prohibitive to buy, and useless back then in the 1950's anyway)

I actually got them direct from Darbi's a while back. But any dealer with an account there should be able to order them. And it shouldn't be hard to find a dealer who does.

Perforated leather cannot be beaten as said earlier, Cordura would be akin to jumping in a oven bag and baking oneself for the journey, Draggins are ideal if you missed out on the knee capping experience from the IRA.

A Fat jacket ? why you getting the weight on??
MX shirt on the road Im guessing, you could do with perhaps a KNOX Cross Shirt under, the MX stuff is more stone protection as opposed to serious armour so dont recommend it, Cross shirts are awesome.

Was thinking for the track mate ! The hit i took, was square in the side with my elbow which cracked or broke 3 ribs, one under the elbow, one in front and one in me back (visualise a arch being flattened out)
All the armour i've been looking at on TM, (even that knox one in that vid) gives chest protection, but nothing in the actual side area where i want to protect right now lol The MX one i was looking at seemed to wrap around the side !
Not to mention the gutt has fair got away on me, in the last three weeks of not being able to hold it in lol , The Jacket was getting to be a squeeze before as it was !
