No... this is not a planned pregnancy thread.
Lately, I've noticed a lot of threads of people crashing and though they were wearing gear, they often times neglected to have any substantial pieces of riding pants to lessen the damage to their legs/knees.
I have a 1 piece Aerostich riding suit, so I'm fully covered, but there are times that I'd prefer to ride with a riding jacket but don't do so because I lack a good pair of riding pants.
It appears a proper pair of riding pants is one of the last items purchased, when in fact it should be purchased at the same time one gets any of their other riding gear... truly a most under rated garment in person's safety gear list.
So, the purpose of this thread is twofold...
~If you can recommend a good pair of riding pants that you use, please pass it on as I'm looking for a pair.
or
~If you have crashed and were not wearing riding pants or even if you were and had injuries, please share so others can learn how important having lower body protection really is. If you think a pair of riding pants is not needed, please share your views, too.
