Winter riding pants? - 9/13/2006 9:50:02 PM

Been commuting 45 miles each way for training and I want to keep riding the F4i as long as possible. I have the thermal longjohns, but they don't seem to really block the wind as far as I remember from last winter. Any suggestions on winter riding pants that would go over jeans? Seems most of the riding pants I've seen wouldn't give much room to wear jeans underneath.

I have a pair of fieldsheer mesh pants and they work great. I bought a size bigger so I could slide them over my pants Here is a link to fieldsheer four season pants they would be much better for your needs. Just buys a size bigger. http://www.sandhillspowersports.com/sandhills/OnlineStore.do?DSP=200&PCR=1:5:50006&IID=fieldsheer_fourseason_06

How cold does it get in New Mexico, because I live in Michigan and we get some cold ass winters! I wear a pair of Teknic Sirocco Textile Pants...these are snowmobile pants and will get you through any winter! Coldest I rode was last winter was 17 degrees and I barely even felt it.

Tyler, thanks for that link, I really ought to wear some riding pants in the summer, these would be great all year.

It drops into the 20's at night, usually only in Dec. & Jan. in Albuquerque, but the training is in Edgewood which is about 1500 ft higher elevation and on the other side of the sandia mountains (which blocks some of the bad weather from getting into town). One of my good friends is from Sueix (sp?) St. Marie and he was telling me about those winters (ugh!)
