Why do they advertise their pants as having a "free removable armour set"? It's hardly free, the pants are $300.

You would have to ask them that.
I line the style of their ones.
I picked mine up cheap off a mate who didn't line the style.
Hundy including armour.
Cheap as chips

free/included same thing. Some brands don't come with armour or padding.

Haven't tried the selection at Cycletreads for a long time, but I always find Motomail to have a good selection of stylish jeans - I just can't get into the super skinny Rev'it styles that they carry. I also find them very helpful.

You must be older than 30 then haha. I'm only 19 so style is a consideration for me at least. Especially when it's a lot of money for me.

When I say "can't get into them", I mean I can't get into them - they're too skinny for my legs.

Oh right. My bad. Super skinny jeans aren't much fun anyway.

Jeans have come a long way in recent years in terms of protection. After doing my own reasearch I settled on Bull-it. Better abrasion resistance than leather and less heat transfer than Kevlar etc - according to their literature. Other than the lack of water proofing (and leather if that's your thing), they're great if you're looking for something comfortable and good looking enough to continue on in once you're parked the bike up - although the covac lining doesn't make them as comfortable as plain jeans.

I ended up buying me a pair of these from a local shop. Really liked the fit and the colour but they must have been old stock because the front pocket liners torn on the first day. I returned them to the shop and they replaced them with a new pair, different cut, but a brand new pair. Unfortunately I didn't try the jeans on first as the new cut didn't fit like the older pair and are to tight. I've asked for another exchange but have lost the tags off the jeans and they are umming and arrhhing as to whether or not I can exchange them. I hope so cause I really did like them

Better than leather then? Guess Rossi will be in them this season then?

Apologises for my ignorance in material science. You're quite right if Rossi's not wearing them, then mine are going in the bin - science or no science! Rumor has it Rossi's minders have in fact developed a material superior even to the holy leather. Spy shot below. Say nothing to Marquez!
