Kevlar jeans, like your helmet, are a one-time use after a bin, throw them away.

    dicounting budgets there is some pretty decent motorcross knee amour available these days not to mention hip amour too.
    Weather: cheap leggings.


    Leathers: I have a set for racing because they are undoubtably the best protection when sliding. They also have armour. But ... I don't race for hours at a time at night in zero temps or in the pissing down rain. They would be inappropriate in those cases, you have to buy additional gear to be able to ride in those conditions. Leathers are multi-use in slides.

    Indeed no arguement here, leather is the best for abrasion resistance for sure.
    Weather: cheap leggings


    Cordura: They have armour. They will protect your skin in a slide. They are water, wind and chill proof. One product meets all the needs above. Cordura pants, like your helmet, might be a one-time use after a bin. You may not have to throw them away, KB member Spittie repairs them. He has a stock of coloured cordura for patching up.

    I think cordura is just as compromised as anything else, it's really down to who you listen too, what your own experiences are etc...

    Know am a bit late BUT....important consideration not mentioned:
    What do you like/not like wearing all day/part of the day......?
    I don't mind at all wearing a cordura jacket, BUT I hated wearing the cordura pants.NOT very comfortable when off the bike.
    That is important because I chose a bike to enjoy myself.
    So I got myself some leather ones now and love m....Feels lot more comfortable.
    Got some Merino long johns for underneath.....nice and warm.
    Oh and just some cheap plastic rain pants, just in case (fold up to nothing)
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
