Depends on how your riding, I either commute 10 min to work or hit up the canyons, so I bought the one piece octane, which I super duper love.

I have Air Flow textile... Awesome gear IMHO. I imagine the ST-5 will be the same. But with more weather protection!

Re: Riding Pant Advice: A* ST-5 Textile
$200 for a pair of overpants is a little much. You can find cheaper out there unless you're deadset on alpinestars.

I have tourmaster caliber overpants. I feel like I should be out skiing somewhere when I wear these, but they are quite comfortable and has good protection.

Yeah, thankfully mine is closer to 30 inch inseam, so I may even have to get these hemmed down a bit.

Thanks for the input guys. I know these are a little bit pricey, but I like the cargo pockets and I like the fitted cut to them, especially since I'm on the thinner side.

Textile is better than jeans, but leather is even better.

Yeah, I know Sean/Shaun (sp?), but I'm going to use these to ride to work in as well, so I want something more comfortable than leathers that I can also use on our rides on the weekends. Seems that Textile is the compromise that I am looking for, also a better price point.

BTW, what was the site you were telling me about for inexpensive exhausts?

Right on what ever best suits you. Textile is a hell of alot better than jeans though. Ot and here is the sight I did not check to see if they had them for the fz6.
