Purchased couple of month ago the Olympia Motorsports X-Moto pant. http://www.olympiamotosports.com/xmotopants/xmotop ants.htm
Thought their leather inserts on the inside of the legs would be nice for grip and would fight the heat on my right leg from the engine. Nice large vent panels and waterproof breathable liner too. Put so far about 2500 miles on them in all kinds of weather - outstanding pants with outstanding quality. Had today the chance to test my theory in 85+ degree weather doing OR/CA Hwy 199 and pushing the Uly very hard. Felt no radiant heat from that big twin at all. Used to get my right knee/thigh rather toasty in mid 80s going hard, worst in stop and go. Hooray!

Those are some badass pants. I really like Olympia stuff (suits and gloves), but that male model they use gives the rest of us riders a bad image. He reminds me of an older version of a typical model in the International Male catalogs.
