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.

I got two pairs of kevlar jeans that I got reduced. Even after I took the pads out they're too uncomfortable for a day in the office, but for short trips they're perfect. For anything longer I got a full textile suit.

That being said, I really need to stop visualizing my mangled legs while driving at highway speeds with normal jeans on.

Pants are so hard to get right it seems.
