    Pants

    I'm looking at getting some motor bike pants as they're the only thing I don't have yet. I looked at some textile pants in a couple shops today, but I hated how they fitted (way too small around the butt)

    Where would you recommend that sells some that are more likely to fit properly?
    Are leather pants more likely to fit properly?
    As I've already had some sizing issues I am not willing to buy online without trying them on first.
    I'm also on a budget-I'm planning on getting a cheap pair then replacing them as I get the money.

    Thoughts on kevlar jeans?
    Thanks

    kevlar is the fucking boss. and you wont sweat your bollocks off... ehh// errr. well.

    if you have a fat ass, try some skinny fit man-jeans.

    bear in mind that slip-in protector pads do no fucking good if they move around/off the bit they're supposed to protect.
    as one of the vagina'd of the species, you may already know this.

    but if you do get leather pants. post pics.

    Maybe I should go for something that's not kevlar then 😂 I haven't looked to much into jeans as I thought I'd get textile pants but it appears that is out of the question. Might go try some tomorrow/soon. Any advice on how to make things stay where they're supposed to?

    I'm going to ignore that last comment, hopefully that way it'll go away

    don't buy loose fitting shit "cos it looks cool" or "cos it's the only pair that will fit my huge ass" - you would be better off going a tailored option.

    A lot of women don't fit women's pants... usually because the derrier is flat on anything with hips.
    Try American brands ( doesn't matter where they were made as much as where they were made for) or men's pants.

    Teknic fit best for most.
    Icon and ixon works for skinny lasses with shapely bottoms.
    Neo and fieldsheer are a bit shapeless but have a bigger backside than frontside.
    Dririder are good for the thick legged lass.

    I haven't had anything to do with Harley or victory branded stuff but they are definitively more shapely.

    Been there with mrs, try lots of pairs of 'woman specific' pants, the interpretation of what shape a 'woman' is varies quite considerably. Unfortunately budget and finding something that works don't always go together, so you might need to suck it up and spend the money

    Sadly axle has a point. Pics or measurements help.

    I'd look at Red Baron our cycle treads of your on a budget.
    Techmoto if your not in a hurry but want a good choice. They don't carry a lot in store.
    Motomail if range is more important than budget.
    Otherwise each store will have one or two styles but in stock but each will have different brands.
