Who amongst us has knowledge of these pants?

I've found both for sale, used but Excellent condition for about the same price ($200).

Want a leather pant that will flow some air for the NC summers.

I've got a Vanson jacket - but haven't seen the Vanson pants at a $$ I can afford, so I'll sew the other side of the pant zipper to the jacket.

Mainly street riding with occasional track day. Wear 34 in jeans, but waist actually measures 36".

Thanks for your rec's.

The Joe Rocket pants seem great except they have a crappy button at the waist. This does not matter much though because the also have a clasp which will keep em on. They do fit a little small I usually wear a loose 38 and my JR's are 42! (I don't think I'm that fat, am I?)

Dogdaze - can't offer any suggestions on pants, but pop over to Carolina Corner Carvers and introduce yourself. If you're interested in riding with some "local" Buellers, there is a thread for Jacksonville Rides. That's not too far from you is it?

I like my Joe Rocket pants, I believe they are the Speedmaster. I was actually able to buy my size (32), so they have a roomy cut to the thigh. Perfs flow okay, prolly better if they fit a little loose.

Clasp at the waist and adjustable waist are nice features.

While the brand is pretty flashy for my taste (I removed most of the non-reflective branding and emblems from my JR gear) I keep ending up with more Joe Rocket gear in my garage, they are functional and fit me well, I'm pretty happy with their quality, much better than the Icon stuff I've gotten.

You are free to pm me as a reminder to double check the model if you want, I don't visit this site as often as i used to so that will get it done quicker if you are dying to know for sure.

Kristi he's local to Wilmington.
Hi Don!

Can't recomend a pant I would be interested in what you wind up with
to see if I can find a serviceable set of gear for summer and a second for winter.
