Hi
I was going to get a pair of the BMW Airflow trousers, but the new Mk2 versions have large vented panesl that I wasn't keen on. The earlier versions just had zipped vents, which, although not as cool, could at least be closed.
So, picked up an end-of-line pair of Hein Gericke Tuareg light pants, with the removable waterproof lining. They are a sort beige colour and look fine off the bike too. Cost was £75 including hip and knee armour.
Assuming that they stand up to the wear and tear OK I would think that they are a good compromise, espcially at less than half the price of the BMW kit.
Also, German para boots seem to be a reasonable, comfortable alternative to the Unobtanium Altbergs - at £45 for a new pair. Not the protection that you'd get from proper bike boots, but I'm not planning any off road excursions and so will take my chances. Speed laces make them quick and easy to get on and off too.
