COTTON KILLS
Here in lies an experiment. Oh sure, does the two percent elastine not make it cotton? Heck no, it will behave like cotton in regards to my outdoor survival moto, but the elastine makes it move better.
It’s also not just a pair of jeans. There is CE level 2 protection in both hips and knees, stretch panels above the knees, lower back (plus anti-plumber butt lumbar lip), crotch area (reads: bionic gusset!), zippered thigh vents (the red visible in above photo) AND Kevlar layers in the seat (the beige inside the pant visible above) , thigh and knee.
In this case, COTTON SAVES, given one remains outside the general moto’s parameters, it will still get wet (I can amend that) and then do all those negative things cotton can. I think there are enough upgrades to warrant the exception, exploration.
Yes, they are made in Europe, and I found them at half price. More clothing? True, but fill a gap that is my future. Moto vagabond wear? Maybe not quite utilitarian enough, but testing commences tomorrow en route to work.
For now it’s “motorcycle dress up night” while I tend the beans and await last night’s second pork chop. Ah the simple things…
