I sometimes wear a pair of Joe Rocket Phoenix summer riding pants as an over layer, and this protects from dirt, grime, and I guess to some degree road rash if I had a mishap. In the cold weather the also create a wind protection due to the built up front side and knee pads. The are easy to put on and take off, although with the knee pads they are a bit bulky to tuck into a backpack.

Joe Rocket Ballistic Pants. Lots of padding in the knees and hips.

Joe Rocket x2!

Are they overpants? I've probably got 10,000 miles on my Roadcrafter and I can still put it on over my clean khakis and they come out just as clean.

I think even a $100 set of overpants is better than a road-rashed bum. I've seen it firsthand and the thought of not being able to sit comfortably for months is well worth dropping $100 on.

regular jeans

Can someone educate me here, what are Draggins???

Thanks
