Who here wears jeans when they ride?

[egrep]

I wear Draggin' Jeans over my leg armor and under my chaps.

From the "about us" page on Draggin' Jeans site:

"Hal and a friend stopped for some ice cream to cool down. While waiting in line in some very colorful racing leathers, a small boy gazed transfixed at the pair of motorcyclists. After a few moments of silent contemplation the boy turned and yelled " Hey, Mama! Look at the clowns!" Hal decided there must be a better way. He developed Draggin' Jeans as an alternative to hot, bulky, unfashionable leathers. Draggin' Jeans are perfect for those times when leather is too much of a hassle."

Of course, Physical therapy is also perfect for those times when leather is too much of a hassle.

It's about Fashion and Convenience, eh?

The poll has definitly missed its mark. Nearly every person who's respond admits to wearing jeans in some form or another, but this is not reflected in the poll itself...

Armored First Gear textile jacket, boots and knee/shin guards under the jeans for around town rides. 2-piece armored leathers for any out of town rides.

Knee/shin guards are comfortable and fit fine under most jeans. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Might look kind of goofy and possibly slide out of place during a crash if worn over the jeans.

I wear jeans (and the like) pretty much everytime I ride except in the twisties. Actually, on the rare instance when I don't mean to ride the twisties but suddenly get the feeling to, I'd ride the twisties in jeans too.

Why?

To piss of TrplGrl.

I'd like to get some overpants sooner or later, but I just haven't done so.

I like my Firstgear Sport Tour Over Pants ("STOP") in 'kwik-dry leather' but I'm going to get juan to put some real CE armor in them and and connect up the zipper from my Fieldshear Super Sport III jacket.

I wear (as of yesterday!) a TILT on piece on weekends (& in May @ the track)

wouldn't any of them

I don't know...would they? Kinda why I asked.

I hear people mention knee guards, but the posts I've seen always mention them being worn underneath, or don't specify where.

For non-freeway trips I wear jeans over my Sidi's & knee guards

I do it sometimes, but with mx knee and shin guards underneath.

That's the nice thing about having an Aerostich -- I never need to think about what to wear when I'm riding. It takes about 5 seconds longer to put on than a jacket, so why wear anything else?

Running to the store: Aerostich
Riding to work: Aerostich
Twisties: Aerostich
Week-long trip: Aerostich
Track day, if I ever do one: Aerostich

Hanging out at a leather bar: leathers, obviously.

Knee/shin guards and boots under the jeans FTW

That's the only thing that changes for short city trips, though. Everything else is full gear.

Normally I'm in an Alpinestars two-piece with SMX-plus boots and Held gloves.








Oh, and a beanie helmet.

 

[imor7al]

I do it on daily basis with my knee guards when i ride to work, but that is going to change pretty soon as I am buying an aerostitch next week. After that just regular work clothes under the aerostitch ..

 

[Roadstergal]

I wear jeans when I sit on my bike in the garage and make "Braaaaaaap braaaaaapppp" noises.

 

[Rorschach]

Jeans to work, or to local non-ride socials.

And he's good at that!

But I am talking him into getting some armored textile pants for commuting...FINALLY...! Stubborn youth that he is...

At least get your Zone 1 areas protected.

I wear jeans on the commute. Sometimes with knee guards sometimes not. In really cold weather I'll wear textiles with armor over the jeans. On the weekends, it's full leathers. I'd really like a couple of pairs of the jeans with removable armor...

Kevlar lined jeans (the Diamond Gusset brand... gives the boys a skosh more room), EVS knee guards, and boots for the more casual rides.

My Draggin' Jeans are quite comfortable as well.

... and the ATGATT gang was gettin' a rope!

 

[ELEVEN72]

I usually wear Sidi or Oxtar boots with mx shin and knee guards, as well as T-Pro armored shorts under jeans.

 

[Sane_Man]

Just to get this out of the way...I usually just wear jeans...

Pics?

 

[spikespiegel]

hell i usually wear jeans underneath my leathers to give me extra protection lol; but sometimes i'll rock jeans only when i have to go somewhere, etc.

 

[nismodan]

A* SMX-4's every time I get on the bike + T-Pro strap-on knee/shin guards (Jeans or Dickie's for work/school)

Track/spirited: 1- or 2-piece leathers (depending on the ride) and Oxtar TCS Evo Replica boots.
