Well...thats a good testament..Got me looking at my Airglide jacket to see if I could switch out the back pad...Does this stuff come made specifically for your jacket? Heres mine...Not gonna fit..
Yeah i noticed that too..I'm like what? Why wouldnt you want to provide that information...The backpad i showed is not an exact fit by any means...so it isnt one size fits all...Man! They make this way too hard, every retailer shows this product available in three sizes, and nobody shows the dimensions! I finally found it on the D3O website.

Ive looked at those..they're like $60 before shipping..But I like real textile motorccycle specific pants..My Ranger2s have armor and are waterproof...No need for me to don a frogg toggs like i did last sept and then the pants melted on those beautiful exhausts...plus I looked pretty stupid wearing that baggy stuff...So now my jacket and my pants are 3 seasons and waterproof..and looking good all the time..HEADS UP!
Diamond Gusset is unloading discontinued Defender motorcycle jeans at a deeply discounted price. I just ordered my third pair. I wear their other jeans as well. For me, the fit is exactly the same as Levis 505. By that, I mean size. These have higher waist, better fit for me.
This one come to me under $75 with shipping.
Good luck finding riding jeans for less! The only downside to the old style is my plus size iPhone doesn't seal into the utility pocket. The corner will stick out.
Nice find..now to dig out the metric conversion table...LOLMan! They make this way too hard, every retailer shows this product available in three sizes, and nobody shows the dimensions! I finally found it on the D3O website.

Unfortunate. I bought some a few years ago off their trailer at Barber. They brought their dressing rooms with them. I wasn't out to buy, but tried them on and bought 'em! They're a great value, IMHO.I looked at those jeans about a month ago, I was considering them. Unfortunately they are only available with really long inseams for my waist size.
Don't want to see THAT picture...I didn't have anything but my boots on
If I'm gonna open that door I'm glad someone walked through...toucheDon't want to see THAT picture...
Here's a pic of me with the jeans/jacket/boots on a nice ride up around Cape Ann, Mass (Gloucester/Rockport) on Saturday

Anyone for a croissant?
I fitted them in my Kelvar jeans and what a difference. All the bulkiness has gone away and when I sit down they mould gently around my knees and stay in place. If only I knew about them a year or two ago - Thank you Mailman. They cost me £10 + £4 p&p. The current market price here is £19 - £24.
Oh, now my hip pads feel uncomfortable.....
