Hi Ladies and gentlemen,

New rider and equally new here so be gentle!!

Getting my Kawazaki ninja 300 deliver in a about a week and I can't wait (first bike jitters and all).

My question is regarding motorcycle pants. Should I be looking at jeans, leather or textile and can you please suggest some. Bare in mind protection is my number one concern followed unapologetically by style.

Looking forward to your experienced opinions

Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for all your replies.

I really appreciate them.

I was leaning towards jeans originally as I plan on staying well away from the bike when it is raining and only commuting to work and maybe short rides on weekends to build experience and confidence. Think textile might be the way to go.

Evo8.... what separate under amour do you recommend for using under jeans?
