intresting... what brand?

most of the time I ride to ride... but being as I'll be moving to a year round riding climate... I'll probably be riding for errands... it'd be nice to have something like that... probably still wear my knee/shin guards under..

Not riding pants... just regular pants you get at Kohls or whatever.
