Hey, as long as they're better than regular jeans at resisting abrasion, I'm all for em, but armor might be the best bet because my hip is really messed up and pants alone wouldn't have saved them I think lol. I'm pretty new to riding so any input from experienced riders would be great.Would you recommend those kevlar reinforced type jeans?
an inexpensive way to fix those melted pants: get an ironing board cover that compliments the color of your pants and cut out a piece and sew it in the pant leg. if done correctly, it looks custom and will prevent any further heat damage.I have a Joe Rocket mesh jacket (Phoenix 5.0) with a waterproof liner and I love it. I also have the Atomic Pants. I really like both but I wish I spent the extra 10 - 20 bucks for the Phoenix pants. I had my pants for just over a week and melted the right leg on my engine cover.
Go with the Phoenix gear all the way around you would be disappointed.
I'm looking to get a RF1100 till next season comes around. What's your feedback on this>?Alpinestars NYC Jacket

Bike shopping for my 1st motorcycle and leaning toward a FZ6R over a Ninja 650. I'm liking black. What do you guys think?
I have the Alpinestar Stella jacket(leather), Icon Regal Airframe helmet, and icon riding pants that go over your regular jeans. I match my bike.Hey, as long as they're better than regular jeans at resisting abrasion, I'm all for em, but armor might be the best bet because my hip is really messed up and pants alone wouldn't have saved them I think lol.

I've got the Tourmaster Intake jacket. Its been perfect. Its a mesh jacket but also has the two liners and armor as well. I've worn it in the low 30's and in the 100+ temps and it works get. I like the universal aspects of it. When its hot, you zip out the liners and the air blows right through the mesh, yet you still have all the armor and protection. I imagine it gets warm and humid where your at, so I would recommend a mesh type for the air flow. It makes a huge difference. I think I paid $170 for mine, but I'm sure you can find it cheaper online.Has anyone had either of these jackets, and if so, any thoughts? Anyone have any better suggestions?
Get the pants and jacket on and then zip`em?? )):surrender:A bit of a sidenote... I have a Fieldsheer jacket (leather) w/ Fieldsheer overpants (textile). I've connected the jacket to the pants via Fieldsheer's zipper system, but only when I've had both of them laying on the bed. Although I successfully put both on while connected, it was a 5min ordeal, a total PITA. Surely there is a better way to connect those two? How do you guys do it??
