Searching around for what people own/wear for leg abrasion and knee armor.
Since I got my bike I've lost 18 lbs and about 2" off my waist 8" overall. Good yes...good for buying a $120+ pair of riding jeans...no.
I think I'm going to opt for strap on leg armor and maybe an abrasion girdle or something. Anyone have any experience or tips? I've been holding back from buy jeans because my diet and exercise has been going so well. Until I hit the plateau of bmi I don't want to shell out the money for riding jeans.
Until then though I need some knee protection. So far the Joe Rocket ones look like my best bet. No need for all that shin protection with my boots.
Options I have found...
Knee Armor:
Joe Rocket Strap-On Steel Knee Pads
Icon Field Leg Armor
Alpinestars Reflex Knee Guards
Leg Abrasion:
Icon Motorcycle Shorts
