I like the look and practicality of jeans but the protection of riding pants. A little more protection in my jeans would be nice. Don't necessarily need armor but some abrasion resistance would be nice.
Who wears em? What kind? How much? How about a review and rating?
I've had pretty good luck with "Sliders", from Competition Accessories. They offer jeans, cargo pants and mesh. Haven't any experience with the mesh. The jeans are probably 13oz denim, good for summer. The cargos are heavier weight, good for spring/fall alone, need some winter underwear for cold weather(below 40 deg F). They run about $80-90, but periodically go on sale. BTW, I have had excellent customer service from C.A.
