Just wondering...I always wear jeans or cords which I know is very stupid because they'd do nothing if I came off

obviously i dont have a bike yet but when i get one i would prob have a all in one suit, mind you on small rides i would prob just wear jeans which is silly i know :s

as long as none of you are the people i see in the summer in shorts and t-shirts :s bloody crazy.

During the summer it's my leathers, but at this time of year it's the textile stuff with all of the thermals fitted! :D

One piece leathers for trackdays and misbehaving on rideouts - two piece leathers (dainese pants & Arlen Ness jacket) for day to day stuff.

I avoid wearing jeans cos I saw what happened to a mates kness and hips when he got punted off at 30 mph

Padded materials. Just spent £200 on new jacket this weekend - it's good to have one that fits, had nicked partners up til now and sleeves were far too long!

Avoid jeans - just know if I did, I'd come off - it's fate!

I've ridden thousands of miles in jeans over the years and been very lucky.

These last 10 years or so having 'grown out of' my leather jeans and jacket I've been wearing textiles with light armour which also saves having to drag waterproofs around with me. I have recently rediscovered the old leathers and find they fit once again so you might see me about in them this year!

Psychologically I find I'm getting less comfortable in jeans the more years I wear other stuff.

Although I have been eyeing up these ‘Draggin’ Jeans’ Anyone any experience of them?
