Default And of you ladies have these? Maybe you guys could help too...

I need something to wear when I ride to work. It has to be easy to change and compact to store. I really want some riding jeans but I cannot find anywhere around that keeps them in stock so I can try them on...SO...I was thinking about something like this...

http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...8719-0105-73_G

Anyone have any experience with this brand or any other overpants?

Something with dual side zippers is preferable.

Hi Colleen

I have the Tourmaster textile overpants. They fit over my jeans and the zippers are long enough and high enough to get over my big feet.

I'll get the exact model after lunch

They are Tourmaster Venture. They have a zip in liner ( waist is zippered all the way around and a "tag" attachment in each leg) and are also armored.

They do a very nice job in the cold and are good in warm weather with the liner out. They're very comfortable to ride in too.

I got mine at the local Yahama/Suzuki/Honda dealer when they were on sale for about $100.

Nice! Thanks for the info.

How small can you fold/roll them up?

Just bigger than a pair of jeans ( soft armor in the knees and hips)

Thanks guys.

Since the hubby and I did not have any plans for today we drove out to a few bike shops and I ended up with these...

Very comfy...I will ride with them tomorrow.
