Motorcycle Pants - One leg at a time - pants, motorcycle accessories for your legs
Need information on motorcycle pants. This topic is simple yet important part of your motorcycle accessories.
We all put pants on the same way - One leg at a time.
There are 2 types of motorcycle pants you need to know about: overpants and regular pants.
The main difference in normal pants and overpants is the lining and cut.
Overpants or Regular Pants:
Overpants provide room for regular pants underneath and regular pants are your standard pair of pants such as your jeans. Regular pants do not provide room for any other pants underneath and are typically fit to your size.
Sometimes riding pants provide extra protection with things like padding in your knees or sometimes hips.
Here is the best advice we can give you:
- get pants that fit YOU
- get quality pants, don't skimp out
- of course style, make sure you look good in them and it's something you like
- and last but not least make sure the pants you select match your riding
Reminder: below is a list of MUST have motorcycle accessories in terms of protective clothing:
- Of course the helmet
- Jacket, preferebly leather
- Pants, long, not shorts

- And a good pair of full fingered gloves
Other Tips:
1) Cordura nylon or Kevlar type of leather and materials offer best protection
2) Use at lease 1.3mm thick leather
3) Consider safety first then the look
Speaking of looking good. There are so many different options you have in choosing the right leather jacket, or those pants, or boots that will fix work just right for you. You have many styles and colors to choose from. It's not just the black leather anylonger, especially if you like riding speed bikes like Honda's CBR or Ducati 998.
