  • Pant recommendations

    I am in the market for a pair of riding pants and would like some recommendations. I currently have the Cortech Tourmaster textile jacket. Mostly I commute to work and ride around town which have led me to the Cortech Venture air pant.
    On the other hand, I would like to get a pair of pants with knee sliders should I eventually get a bit more aggressive. The Cortech HRX textile/leather has also caught my attention.
    If you rode in the rainy PNW all winter, commuting to work, and needed your pants to fit over jeans or work pants, which would you get?

      I don't think Izzy is looking for demin riding pants, but rather riding pants that will be comfortable over demin...

      If that's the case, I'd consider some like these which are textile and offer full length side zips for easy-on/off.

      The Mercury 2.0's are a versatile pair of overpants which should work well in a wide variety of climates. The zip out insulated liner is easy to install and...

        find a good waterproof overpant .. find the features you want .. the bigger leg zippers are nice .. but it can be lived without .. those cortech hrx are very nice .. and with liner in waterproof ... knee puck velcro is available separately ... so you can put kneepucks on anything you want ... textiles are always on sale .. so do your shopping .. cuz there are massive price differences out there if you take the time to shop
        ** after checking out the hrx's the review does not seem favorable**
