You can go to cyclegear.com and get cold weather riding pants with armor in the knees for cheaper than that right now in fact in the next week I will be going to the cycle gear here in Charlotte, NC and getting myself an armored jacket pants and waterproof insulated gloves for this winter and right now at their close out prices for the end of year clearance I don't plan to spend more than $200. If you don't have a store near you and go to their website look at the BILT products that's their brand it most of their items come with a 5yr warranty.
