Does anyone here use special pants?
(lemmy.world)
Here we discuss everything related to riding, maintenance and gear.
Rules:
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.
