So im looking for a pair to go with my new (all black) Alpinestars jacket. Need to be black, don’t necessarily need to be A stars (I don’t think they do anyway). Budget £250 or thereabouts. Any suggestions? My legs suffer from twigging a bit so nothing too big or tight (if that makes any sense whatsoever)
May be worth checking that the jacket to trouser zip together bits are compatible. Not sure nowadays but years ago i made that mistake.
No not at all if your not doing tds in em. I never did after i baught a mis matched jacket/trousers could be a bit drafty up the back on a cold day though and i m sure zip together would offer a bit more protection in an off.
Have a look on ghostbikes, they had some A* trousers well within your budget and then at least you can be sure-ish that they're compatible.
If you are on the thin side and you slide down the road your jacket can ride up leaving you vulnerable. You don't need a full zip Now I'm fat guess the chance for me is low.
never been on there before so cheers mate just to add that infinity have got the same trousers ghostbikes have (the a star bat leather tousers) for £159.99 compared to £199.99 on ghost bikes dont know if thats any use to anyone else
No worries. They can be hit or miss. Sometimes they have cracking deals - I got my Axo helmet for £30 instead of £180. FC moto can be good too, but they usually have limited stock of each size or colour.
If they don't zip together I'm sure you'd be able yo take them to a local shop and have an extra zip attached on that does fit to the jacket. Shouldn't cost much more than £20 I would think as they could probably sew a new zip on top of the old zip...
Worth checking this website every now and then; http://www.triumphfactoryoutlet.com/ the other day they had some AS9 trousers for a ton, which seemed like a very good deal. But they all got snapped up pretty quickly. I got Triumphs H2Sport Jeans which are an excellent fit and feel for me, so I recommend them.
