Thought I'd Pass this on. I've been looking to upgrade my mesh pants for colder weather riding, and just found out these (old stock) 2011 First Gear pants are on closeout at http://www.motorcyclegear.com (http://www.motorcyclegear.com) for $140.00 (USD).

I really like the HTs; wear them every day fall thru spring. On my second pair. I really need to replace my HT Air mesh pants. Hope they dig up some NOS sometime.
Just bought slider jeans. Was looking for something like this.
Thanks
How is the fit on these HT pants?
If I have a 32" waist, do I order a 32 or go up to a 34?

According to Motorcyclegear.com's description of these pants, they tend to ride higher on the hips than regular jeans do. They therefore suggest that if you have any type of belly, measure your lower stomach area (just below your belly button) and that should give you the waist size you need. This matches my experience with their Mesh Overpants (HT Air Overpants) that I've used for the past few years. In my case, I normally wear a size 36, but the size 36 pants fit too tight, so I went to the next size higher (38) and that size fit very well (my belly line is about an inch larger than my waist line). Hope the info helps.
I usually wear a 33 pant, but have 34 HTs and they fit will. There is some adjustability in the waist with velcro straps. Nominally, they say they size them (the number) to be the same as your street clothes, while fitting over your street clothes, IIRC.
