I am looking to purchase a lightweight pair of riding pants complete with armor. I current own a pair of Olympia Motosports Airglide pants which I like but am looking for something that breaths a little better. Also, I purchased the Airglides as a "Pant over" and am looking to purchase an actual pair of riding pants. Comfort, airflow, and armor/protection are the key components that I'm looking for in a pair of riding pants, any suggestions? Anyone try the Sliders Kevlar Quest 2.0?

I have the airglide 3 pants in silver.
I love the up to the hip zippers., makes getting into them so easy.
On really hot days I wear shorts underneath.
Most other times ,pants and I don't find them hot to wear.
I use them as overpants 'cause I like the option of normal clothes if and when I go to someplace and don't wanna look motoradd-ish.

If your looking for something that flows better air than the airglide your out of luck. You can't get pants that have actual armor and have airflow like a pair of shorts. Kevlar jeans don't flow air and also don't have armor. They just last a little longer in a slide. You'll suffer a broken knee cap but your skin will be intact. I have revit mystro pants, which are the black equivalent to the airgildes, and love them. I plan on getting the pewter airglide 3 pants to go with the airglide 3 jacket I already have.
