What do you wear on your lower body...jeans, leathers, textile? |

I have a pair of Rukka Fuel Cordura/Goretex trousers that do not have zips on the pockets, it's not only a jeans thing. These are from the cheaper end of their range and have a drop/Z liner rather than laminated. I do not keep anything more valuable than a handkerchief and a bit of loose change in the pockets when riding.

I wear merino pants if I am out for a longish ride / full day, usually with a pair of base layer leggings. If just a short run I may just wear my boxers. |

Yeh I wear pants and a thermal base layer (OK, long johns, but no buttoned-up flap at the back) and ventilated leather jeans (RST, without knee sliders). If it's raining I'll top up with a pair of cheap waterproof overtrousers. If it's hot I'll replace the thermal layer with cycling shorts. |

Interesting. The BMW City jeans I have are equipped with 2 zipped pockets along each leg, into which go my wallet (right side) and my garage door opener (left side), zipped up. The two front pockets carry my key fob (left side) and my earplugs when they're out (right side). With the zippers I don't worry about these things falling out. Plus it's convenient to be able to activate the door opener just by pressing the button through the outside of the pants, or to access my wallet quickly at a gas station. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #7 A small rear seat bag is also handy. You can carry a tire repair kit and pump and maybe a jump pack.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #8Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #7 I have two Kriega bags...a 10L for daily use, and a 20L for longer rides. I usually keep water and a couple of other things in the smaller bag. Now that I have a bike with panniers I probably won't use the 20L much. The stuff in my jacket is stuff I use often during rides, so packing it behind me in the tail bag isn't the best option. The SW Motech tank bag would be a good place for that stuff, though. Thinking about it. |

You people with unzippered jeans pockets... how much are you typically losing from them? Can't say I've ever found this a problem!

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #10 You only have to lose something valuable once to appreciate the zippered pockets. I lost a pair of custom earplugs that way once. But, yeah, the odds are fairly low. But a lot depends on what you carry in your pockets, I guess. |
