Are leather pants really worth it? I think leather jackets look cool with jeans, but I've never seen them with leather pants. Are they really that much safer than durable jeans? I don't think I have enough money to buy racing leathers.

Adamizzer,
You're looking to do a lot of commuting, yes?
I have a pair of the Bohn Armor Adventure pants from ActionStation.com that I wear under jeans.
I haven't met the road yet, but the tighter your jeans are, the better the armor is likely to stay in place!I'm wondering how well the armor stays in place once you meet the road. I also think (agree) they're not likely to last very long as you're sliding.
Leather pants only last about eight feet sliding?
Hmmm.... I never noticed. Chicks look good in them, though!Casual observation: Safety aside, a guy is ten times sexier in leather pants than in jeans.
