    Last year, after my crash which damaged my Icon TiMax textile pants, I got a pair of Teknic Chicane (Sport) leather pants. These pants come with knee pucks for those who like to drag a knee once in a while. The are also vented where your legs bend near your crotch. Being of small stature, I got a size 30. They fit well and are comfortable, unless its a billion degrees out, then they get a little warm when stopped or riding two-up. They also allow me to be able to move on the seat rather easily, which I think is a plus.

    It comes with two zippers, one wrap around and one short back-side only zipper (Yes it has a zipper in the front so technically it has 3 zippers). This facilitates attaching a Tecknic jacket to the pants, if effect making it a two-piece suit.

    I got these at Motosport.com for $200, which I think is a reasonable price. Why do I put the 'Sport' in parenthesis? Well, the image in the catalog has a Chicane and a Chicane Sport pant. The look a little different, but the pair I got (which was supposed to be the Chicane) looks more like the Sport. Maybe it was just a bad pic. Anyway, for $200, these pants have been well worrth the price. I got a Chicane Jacket too which I will give a review of later.

    Pros:
    Great fit (imo)
    Affordably priced
    Mates up to other Teknic jackets
    Flows air at speed
    Doesn't stick to your seat allowing one to move around

    Cons:
    Can be a bit hot when riding two-up (is that really a con?)

    I just got some of these also. I don't know if sport or not but I got them for $150 shipped to my door. Can't beat that with a stick. They do get toasty in the crotch when it's 100+ out, though.

    I agree that in high temps they do get a bit warm.
