Default Casual pants?

Best pants? I've tried two different pairs of Draggin Jeans and the fit sucked. I'd like something I can wear just as normal jeans, nothing flashy or Aerostichy.

Anyone tried these?

That's a different AlpineStar denim pants than the A* ones that I have. The ones that I have are too baggy.

I like the Cortech/Tourmaster denim pants.

I agree here - the Cortech are better - Lone Star carried them at one time, unsure if they still do.

I'm tall and skinny so baggy is a warning flag for me. Thanks.

My favorites are the Cortech MOD Denim and Icon Victory with Cortech CPX close behind. The CPX are somewhat water resistant, and the zip off legs are kinda nice when it's warm (after you get off the bike).

Since I banged my knee though, I hate that none of them have good knee armor. The MODs have removable armor, but it moves too easy. I've started wearing my Icon Field Armor all the time- when I'm not wearing armored leather.
