And yes .......memories of Suzi Q from my younger days. Leather catsuits suited her perfectly.

I've got a couple of pairs of Hood Jeans (concept 6), can't fault them at all. They're nice folks to deal with too. I asked for the second pair to be made a bit wider in the leg to fit over my boots, and they did it with no problems at all. Never had a spill in them but there's plenty of aramid protection in them to inspire confidence that they'll hold together if I ever did come off in them.

They are a bit bulkier than normal jeans, due to the extra lining, but I wear mine to work all the time with no problems. It might be a bit different with the armour in them, I've not got round to fitting it yet.

I thought £70+ for a pair of Jeans that will be much better than normal jeans in an off was quite reasonable.

Especially since a pair of Levi's will cost more. :)

And yes Pencil Shavings Women have got better looking since the old days.
I keep seeing 16 year old girls and commenting to my friends that girls didn't look that good when I was a school. Oh what??? Errrr No I mean they were much older ermmm Im not a perve errrrr *runs away*

£70 for a set of denim jeans is way past what I pay, but for motorcycle clothing it's pretty cheap. EU approved hard hats cost more than baseball caps. Both cover your head though ;).

I have a set of Hood Jeans, they're a bit baggier than I'd have liked, so I'd probably try before I bought next time rather than mail-ordering. They're good to wear though, I use them for short hops around town even in winter.

Aye much more than about 30 miles in this weather though and it gets fkin chilly. Might just be because mine have a lot of holes in them.

Much better feel to the workmanship, stitched full denim pockets, larger protection area's, stronger denim. Has been a few years since I owned a pair of draggin, jeans, but after owning the hood's I'd not go back unless they have done something amazin since and looking at there website it seems the same.
