Does anyone have the Scorpion Deuce pants?
I was all set on Olympia Airglides until I tried these on yesterday. They are a bit cheaper (at $150 compared to $190), have similar venting and protection. I recently bought some of Scorpion's gloves, but otherwise have no knowledge of overall quality. Also not sure about the lettering on the legs...Any thoughts? |

I've been extremely happy with my Buell Adventure pants - fit, comfort, and price-wise. And if the knee armor rubs you the wrong way (like it did right after my knee surgery - boy, did it piss off those incisions!)...you can unzip the pocket and pop it right out. |

+1 on the Buell adventure pants. I think I paid $120 at my dealer. |

Guys- do the Buell adventure pants come with an insulating liner? Thanks. |

No. If it's a bit chilly I throw on some thermal long undies under them. They're too snug for me to wear them as overpants so if it's cold (below freezing) I have a pair of Joe Rocket Ballistic pants that I put on over my jeans. |

I like my First Gear (Kilamanjaro Air? Can't remember) pants. They are similar to those and the Buell adventure pants, but all black. Great zip out insulating liner, slip out pads, etc. The zipper on the liner is starting to unzip from the wrong end every now and then, but thats a minor problem. Otherwise they have been flawless. I think they were cheaper then the scorpion pants you are showing as well. |

+1 to the adventure pants, they saved my ass, literally. They weren't as beat up as my jacket, so i was using them to hold me over till my new 1 piece suit came |

I sized my Adventure pants as overpants (bought them in the fall). With the venting panels, I still get real good airflow even with jeans underneath...and with the panels installed/closed, they're good in cool weather. Especially with the knee armor installed - those pads make a great windbreak. I did, however, have to spray them with a couple good coats of tent waterproofing from WallyWorld to make them even partially weather resistant. Still get wet around the zippers on the vents if its pouring...but a light mist or sprinkle is no problem. |

Poor Uly1080! All he asked for was other's experience with the Scorpion pants and what does he get but SPAM! And no apologies for the hijack. |

So a bit off topic, but...does anyone have the Scorpion Deuce Pants?
