motorcycle jeans?
My 2p. Incredibly compromised concept.
IME they have an incredibly niche use case:
Temps needs to be cold enough not to sweat off the bike but warm enough not to be cold on the bike.
Then you need a situation where you want to look good on the bike, but a gimp off.
If you put armour in, then they look odd, but if you don't they're not as safe.

Wrote a long ass kit breakdown, but it was way too TL:DR.
Short version:
Anyone use aramid motorcycle jeans? Any alternative for ‘casual’ gear with maximum abrasion protection? For social journeys.
How much road protection do MX pants give? Need compromise for road riding to reach green lanes. For ‘riding’.
Will be wearing (bulky) external armour like pressure suits and knee guards, internal armour is just too easy to move out the way.
