The Dainese Alien Leather Pants, or “Pantaloni Alien Pelle” are the perfect match for the Dainese Alien Jacket (review).

The Alien pants are designed for rider comfort...

This is the third review of Firstgear TPG products; first was the original Rainier TPG jacket (review), reviewed in 2008. One year ago, in November of 2009, I reviewed the updated Firstgear Teton TPG jacket along with the matching Firstgear TPG Escape pants. Now in November 2010 I’m reviewing “Version 3” of the...

As you might expect, the Dainese Teren pants are the perfect match for the Dainese Teren jacket (review). But the Teren pants would also make an excellent choice for all-weather wearing with other types and brands (Shhh — don’t tell Dainese!) of jackets. The pants have the same “heavy duty” Cordura...

Introduction Last year I reviewed the Gryphon Moto Vancouver Jacket and Indy Pants and liked them. So when I saw that they were introducing the new Blue Ridge jacket and Copper Canyon pants, I reached out to Gryphon Moto to see if I could do a review. They immediately agreed....

The Firstgear Escape pants are designed as part of the Firstgear TPG system but they would make an excellent choice no matter what jacket brand you own.

It doesn’t make any sense, at least to me, to have the FirstGear Hypertex Meshtex mesh jacket (review) without having a matching...
Robust all-around motorcycle pants with removable insulating liner. Slightly higher than normal waist provides good lower back coverage. Perfect match for the Challenger jacket we reviewed just a couple of weeks ago.

Review Summary The Merlin Mahala Pro D3O Pant include a waterproof and thermal liner which make this a great choice for wet/colder weather. Despite its multi-season versatility, the ventilation is average and it’s a heavy pair of pants so it can run hot during mid-summer. The Mahala Pro D3O Explorer...

Like many including myself when I first began riding, I had no issues spending money on a jacket. Back in the day how it ‘looked’ seemed more important to me than how much protection it offered. Textile riding gear was not a big thing and the only company who ‘seemed’...
