Default Commute?!

I have a short commute to work. I'm in sales so slacks are a must, company polo is ok for a shirt. I always always always wear my jacket, leather gloves, and 90% of the time my icon field armor boots (easy on/off!) What's the best pants? Do the crash pants that go over your pants jack up slacks? They need to look pressed while at work. Any suggestions to keep pressed pants pressed for the ride to work and maybe just change out? Thx in advance. I've so far saved a ton of miles on the truck, and a wad of cash on gas commuting on the ninja compared to the truck. I'd like to stay that way.

Take your close in a back pack or tank bag and change at work.

Pack it! Most good companies will have a changing room and a gym.

You think I could put slacks in a tank bag and keep 'em fairly decent looking? I'm thinking in my backpack they'll always get crunched up no matter how I move 'em around. Any suggestions on tank bags for this application (and more!)

I picked up a pair of alpinestar smx-4's since. They're awesome, armored, and fit in my squad pack. I just tuck it under the desk and swap out before taking off again.

Wow it only took you 6 months to make a decision on that one.

Glad you found something that will work.
