Default What pants go with Motogp Corkscrew jacket?




Alright, the top one is the corkscrew (2006). The bottom one is the Apex (2005)
I was originally gonna order the Apex, which only has a section of zipper on the back side for pants. But now that i see this corkscrew jacket i see that it has a 360 degree zipper system. BUT motogp does not make pants with a 360 degree zipper.
I love the Apex jacket and Apex pants when i tried them on together, but i feel like the 360 zipper is important. I can't find information anywhere as to why they are different, and why they don't sell pants with a 360 zipper. Does anyone know what would work with the corkscrew?

Sorry, no idea. I imagine it's only a matter of time before a pair of matching pants (with the full circumference zipper) comes out.

What happened to the Honda jacket??

haha, you remember. I posted the debate up on a couple forums, and even though everyone is saying go with the honda jacket, i've decided to go with something more nuetral. I liked the apex jacket because it was mostly black and would work with any bike. I also know for a fact that i like the apex matching pants and have tried them on. That made a big difference.
In the end, i just decided i wanted a well rounded jacket/pant combo, rather than something that's made for one particular bike. Even though the honda jacket is stil the hotness in my book.

I'm just wondering now if i should get the corkscrew and hope they come out with something, or get the apex, and buy the pants too.

Neutral is good.

I would say wait until they come out with full zip pants. Looking at their line-up, it seems to be the only thing missing, so it should be only a matter of time. Since you've got your FT 2piece, just use that for now.

Aluminum foil. LOL

actually i had a full aluminum foil 2piece, but the FT pants were so uncomfortable they actually cut the insides of my knees.
I also had to get 2 sizes too big just so they're be pliable enough for me to actually sit on my bike with them.
I returned those pants. So technically i've got the FT jacket, and a motogp kangaroo suit, that's on ebay.
I just need to decide this weekend whether to get the corkscrew, or the apex.

If it were me, and I had the Kanga suit, I'd probably get the Apex separates. Even if they don't zip all the way together, some is better than none. And, you'll have the MotoGP suit too.

I think maybe i said it wrong, i OWN the motogp kangaroo suit, but it's on ebay, for sale. I don't want it. I wanted to sell it and get a 2-piece.
