Kevlar jeans or chinos

Hi all,
I know i should have gotten them while I was at home or whatever.
Wandering if there is anywhere in Israel - Tel Aviv or Egypt - Cairo where I might be able to pick up some kevlar jeans or chinos.
Thanks everyone,
Jordan

I don't know of any dealers round there but I can tell you I bought some Draggin cargo pants and they will post worldwide. They have a fairly wide lower leg too, which is handy if you want to wear them over boots.

RoadSkin jeans

I have had a pair of the Roadskin paranoid jeans for the last few years and used them on my trip in 2016 on Route 66. From heavy rain outside Chicago to 109 degree heat in Arizona they were great. I have just bought a new lighter pair to ride around the world from May this year. They sell direct to keep prices down and make safety clothing for Police and Fire services. See their videos on Youtube to see the extreme methods of testing - by the owner of the company . highly recommended

Israel more likely

Hi, the only bike shop I can think of in Cairo is KTM in Heliopolis , I’d have to dig the GPS coordinates when I’m back home next week. Not sure it’s still open though. Therés a Harley dealership in Zamalek North of 26 July overpass next to the South enf of Ahmed Heshmat street. You may also want to PM Omar Mansour from Alexandria, he truly is knowledgeable of the local bike scene, maybe he has a used pair fitting you ? My guess is you should be able to find in Tel Aviv. I’d suggest to get in touch with Israel based members of the HUBB and ask around. Seek and you shall find. Good luck!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
