I am mostly a commuter and just wear normal pants. Have been thinking about maybe getting a few special denim pants for riding, but they are quite expensive.

What do you all use? I do ATGAT everything else.

Aerostich. New they are expensive but you can get them used on eBay. Two zips and the whole thing comes off to reveal your work clothes. It’s a 10 second change that keeps you safe with knee, hip, back, elbow, and shoulder pads. Did I mention water proof too? Hands down the best protection for commuting.

My boss used to laugh at me walking to my desk asking if I was going snowmobiling. But he got canned so who’s laughing now?

And denim pants evaporate in a slide.

Are they breathable? I live in a pretty hot place too.

They have vents but they are not great over 90 degrees for long periods. I commuted in them year round (100 degrees here in July) but my commute was only 25 minutes.
