So finding pants that aren't up to my knees and still fit my waist is proving difficult when I look at the measuring charts. I am also looking for a new helmet too. However, every helmet that i tried on fits differently. I tried on the same brand as the one I currently have and I take a size smaller. However it fit the same way my current helmet did when i tried it on again.......

Gear is all about fit. You really have to try it on, or hope you get lucky.

Pants depend on how "casual" your work is. If you have to wear suit pants/skirt you can get overpants or change at work. I don't have any experience there. If you can wear jeans, I can vouch for Cortech's Mod Denim. They're great! Bug guts aren't really a problem as most sportbikes have enough fairing to deflect a large amount of air away from your legs.

Yep he's right. I have a naked sv 650..... I have to be in dress pants/suit pants....... So Jeans really aren't an option. I don't feel like carrying extra clothes with me everyday. Plus with the weather around here the extra layer at 7 in the morning will be nice to have.......
So I would like pullovers.....

I know but I was wondering if someone had any other ideas so I see more possiblities....... I have been trying to look around but I was also looking to see peoples opionion on them too. When I looked at the sizing chart nothing would work. They will be around my knees and fit my waist or falling of my ass and long enough. Remember I have those long legs you like so much!!!!!!!!!

eh, she just doesn't listen all the time to me, or forgets to ask me when i'm around.
we seriously talk more on IM or text messaging than in real life... and we live together.
