Be warned doofus that some you'll see on ebay are absolutely pants.

Another snakeskin and stompgrip fan here although both will have worn my leathers slightly.

Apologies for necroing an old post, but i hath not found an answer....

Can you use the techspec pads for commuting in normal pants/jeans or will the pads ruin your pants as i have read that they tend to eat leathers?

15000 miles and 2 years using TechSpec Snakeskins, have only caused a small patch of scuffing on the inside left knee of my leathers.

IMHO - Worth it for improved grip on the tank.

I use them with textiles and they've been fine.

Just wanted to give this a bump. I bought some of these tank pads from Bighammer and they are fantastic quality. The pictures on the site don't do them justice. They were £20 delivered from the states and are as good quality as the Techspec ones IMHO. Can't believe I nearly paid £40 for Techspec or Stomp Grips!
Thanks for the recommendation Bibio
