Having trouble deciding on which pants I should get. These will be used for street only, no track. I got Icon's fall booklet, I really like the look of the new Roughshod pants - here (http://www.rideicon.com/products/?productGroupId=1902) and here (http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/icon-1000-roughshod-pants), but I'm not sure if they match the sport bike look or more for cruisers. I also love the look of the Dianese Pony pants (http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-pony-leather-pants), but I am worried about the fit. I'm 6', 190 lbs, and most of it is in my legs. All muscle so there's nothing I can do about it - 42.5cm calf, 60cm thigh. Skinny jeans have been my sworn enemy so I'm worried the tighter fitting track pants would be too tight for me. The tightest I can go with regular jeans is relaxed fit (love my Levi's) and I wear a 34-32 usually.

I know that whatever I pick I can return but I would rather not deal with that. I am also going to get a pair of Dianese Kevlar jeans but I want some leathers too since I'm so very new and am fully prepared to crash and burn.

So in essence, although the Roughshods just came out so I doubt anyone knows too much about them, what are some good pants I should take a look at?

How about a custom made pair of pants crafted from your favorite fitting jeans for about $200?

I think my favorite jeans are a little too skinny for armor...

Looks like they would be a nice pair of summer pants. How do they compare to the kevlar jeans?
