What are the coolest mesh pants for the hottest days?
I already have Olympia X-Moto pants for the other three seasons (thank you- they're great). Now I'm looking for the coolest pant I can find for summer riding. Preferably an over-pant, lighter in color for heat reflection. I don't need waterproof, just cool, cool, cool. thanks!
Funny i find this question here, 'coz i was doing some extensive, about 2 week long, research on this topic.
I don't know what kinda rider you are sir, but in my very humble opinion (not that humble 'coz as i said i did do some deep research here) the best mesh pants on the market Today are the
........................................................REV'IT! Tornado Pants..............................................................
Pros: Cool styling, biggest mesh panels i've found, possible 4 season pant with the option of waterproof and wind/cold proof liners (i know you said you don't care about that, but you can just remove the liner and never see it again), easy removable zip out liner with 360 degree zip at the cuffs, option to use as overpant, a lot of video reviews online, short/regular/long versions, Rev'it quality, very attractive design suitable even for sportier-naked-bikes, black and summer friendly silver color options, high quality abrasion resistance material in all impact areas, 3-way adjustable high end knee guards, best mesh quality of all mesh pants on the market, comfortable, high quality very useful stretch panels, high waist fit (if you like it), 8" zipper instead of 360 degree one (preference)
Cons: PRICE at $259.99 it's definitely one of the (if not THE) most expensive mesh pants out there, styling not suitable for superbikes, high waist fit (if you don't like it), only 8" zipper instead of 360 degree one (preference)
This was my personal favorite.
Other pants that caught my attention (sorted by price) :
Alpinestars A-10 Airflow Pants- Best summer (mesh) race pants, price: $229.95
Olympia Recon 3 Mesh Pants- Important to like the styling, price: $159.99
Fly Racing CoolPro Mesh Pan- I like them, but not the best quality, price: $139.95
AGV Sport Solare Vented Pants- Sporty, steal!, i love them, price: $99
Hope this helped
