    I have Bike Shed jeans... they are double layer like the hoods, but the inner layer is not abrasion resistant, it's just there to hold the armour. I find them a bit heavy when off the bike... but they are actually comfortable and look good. I may go for Hood jeans next, I'd like single layer, but the recent video from Bennet's is quite clear on the benefits of two layers...

    One of my mates bought his resugence Jeans from Urban rider, and I'd probally do the same in future. I've a pair from XLmoto, but I've actually worn the motorcycle jeans more often than I thought I would, so my next pair I'll definitely buy a decent set.

    I got a pair of Bull-it Mens Covert Blue Easy in Bikeworld a while back: very happy with them. Proper cut/fit for me, as I find the fitting of many of them strange. 36"W/30"L and sit nice when on the bike - legs a tiny bit long long off the bike, but perfect on it and not riding up (or down at the back).

    kinda - I had visited previously and found nothing to suit, but the next visit I lucked out.

    Cotters have a good selection but again I couldn't find something I was comfortable in (for me), so that's all down to me.

    Whereabouts are you ?

    My lad got gear in Meskells recently, but again, it's just luck really.

    Did you try Lee Honda, in Cork ?

    Lee is my next port of call. Will spin down the next weekend I'm free. I've bought two bikes off them though so it's always a risk 🤣🤣
