I'm looking for some cold weather pants. I've had a snowmobile bib set that I've worn before, but was trying to look for something less shiney. I don't want leather, but rather something that won't melt if it touches an exhaust. Any ideas?

I've got a pair of britches I call my Nebraska pants. Bought them in Scotts Bluff, Nebraska when I was working in Wyoming one winter. (Scotts Bluff had the nearest Wal-Mart.)

Anyhow they look like regular blue jeans but they have a flannel lining in them. I don't know how low the temperature has got to get before they're not much good, because I don't ride much if it ain't 50 or above.

I was thinking that just about everything other than leather will burn on the pipes. I have leather pants that work, but require rain pants for the rain. Otherwise I wear sailing gear, waste high, and bib pants. Ski pants are warm, but not water proof. Oiled cotton would be good. I have a jacket. Have not seen those kind of pants for a while. Belstaff and Barbour were the original manufacturers. Not cheap these days. The tack shops and some outdoorsy places have jackets. My jacket cost $100 in NZ. A Barbour jacket is about $700 I have been told. Sailing bib pants are about $100. Some name brands are more. I think my leather pants were about $100. They are better than chaps IMO. Just thunked. A leather patch could be sewn on to the area that touches the pipes.

Well for my understanding you need winter pants? Well i used alpinestars ast 1 waterproof pants. It was really cheap arround 90 euro's and really happy with it. It kept me warm and dry no problem after 2,3 hours riding.

There is the old standby of winter coveralls by Walls, Carrhart and Dickies.
