Why wearing jeans on a motorcycle is a really bad idea (little gory)

They don't make the jeans stylish enough for Wes. The nearest he will wear to protective jeans are some Dethkillers.

Wes is an odd duck. He wears a ton of gear, more than most people I know, and swears by its use. However, around town, he's unable to overcome his need to look a certain way. That's why he doesn't wear good leg protection, but he still wears a separate full coverage back protector. Both may be subjectively ugly, but only one is readily visible.

The perceived pressure of the world around, either society as a whole or our peer groups, plays a big role in safety gear choices for everyone. Most won't admit that, though.

With how easy they are to get on/off, there is no reason not to wear them.

If you don't mind, could I ask you where you found them for that price? I've been searching around and seeing then in the $140-$150 range.
