Joe Rocket Atomic Jeans
Anybody have a pair of these and what do you think about them? I kinda like the concept of something that looks like regular clothing, but offers a little more protection while riding. I looked around a few manufacturer's sites, and Joe Rocket seems to be the only one making gear like this. Is there anything else somebody has experience with or can recommend?

From what I saw the key is "little more protection". Not sure they are worth the premium.

You could always check out icon. I know they are more designed to look like "normal" clothing although I dont know of the quality

Besides coming into work with full leathers kind of has that Mad Max look and should subdue the drones.

got 4 of them myself, 2 jeans and 2 chinos for work. Practically live in them but you'll need something better for longer rides.
