I prefer online pricing.

A Google search is a terrible thing to waste.

Check these out...

IronHead...great links.

I liked the Draggin Jeans that are made in Aus (I think the H/O is here in Melbourne) but their pricing is way over the top compared to other brands. I am not sure what the go is here?

And for some reason there are mor expensive here than overseas? What are they doing?

YIKES!!!! 200 bucks???[sm=smiley5.gif] I may as well go for chaps at half the price!

Thanks for all the links. I'll still take a look locally. Maybe I can find them cheaper.

Cheers!

I would have to agree with unclestoolie. Wear what makes you comfy. Just like wearing leathers as far as I care. The helmet will protect to some extent, but don't expect it to save your life. With that being said, I always wear a helmet. Right now it's a full face which is a blessing with the cold rain (snow today) and wind. During the summer, usually a bennie or halfshell. We've got a helmet law here in Oregon so it's not a choice to let the air run over my bald head. [:@]

I hate a full helmet. I always wear half. When I'm cold I wrap one of those neopreme things around my face that has the breathing holes in it.
