Default Pants

Hey guys I just bought a new 2007 ninja 250. I want something for protection when I'm riding highway. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me something to protect my knees and croch area. I want something that's going to be good to wear in Chicago summer weather. I dont really need those professional racing pants but I'm looked into some of the fox racing pants and they looked good at prices under 100 but I couldn't find any with any padding or impact protection.

look at the icon line of pants and the knee/shin gards along with the field armor boots. should be enough to save your *** on the streets.

1+ on icon! Plus there are several websites that offer big discounts on icon gear.

I also have Joe rocket textile pants that come with knee padding as well as hip and tailbone pads. But if you're looking to protect your junk, better buy a nut cup.

well when i was looking around it looks like the only type of pants that had the knee protection was the off road bike type of pants. the ones with all the fancy colors and stuff. what is the problem with wearing those on the street other than looks?

try http://www.bohnarmor.com/ or eBay...they are a sweet set up...the shirt alone pays off...I can teach my class and not have to keep taking my jacket on and off all day and when it gets up in the 100's it is very comfortable!!!
