Default Riding jeans.

If you have been looking at the new expensive riding jeans that are extra thick with added protection, I found a cheaper alternitive ($35). try a pair of carhart Logger jeans. they are extra thick with double layer front dennim. I just got some and they work great on the cold rides!

Carhartt also makes some flannel lined jeans that are great for those cold riding days. I love mine!

FYI

I took some bolt cutter and cut off the extra tabs on the waist band. they were made for suspenders.

I just bought the Kevlar Draggin jeans. It might cost a little more, so what I ride a lot more. I'm think about a Kevlar Jacket or shirt now for the summer time protection.
