+1 for Hood.
They make them to measure so the fit is good while the cost was just over 100 UK pounds.
So far I wear them without the armour which can be fitted into pockets within the hips and knees. I use the cargo pants for the extra pockets and the velcro flaps secure all sorts of stuff very securely while riding - using them for winter riding, and so far, so good.

Yes, they are. They're brand-new and not on the Polo website yet but I found them in the 2011 catalog (if you happen to have it: page 45). According to the store clerk the new 2011 clothes are bound to arrive in mid March 2011 except for these: the day I went to the store they shipped from the central storage and I was able to pick them up three days later. Together with the older Namib and the also new (and not yet to be found on the website) Tour 2 they're the only non-black pants Polo sells. Louis has one pair, HG only sells black.
I found them on another website, check it out

Not to worry, the website I found is Motorrad, the biggest German biker magazine. They don't sell the stuff, they simply tell you what to get
You'll probably have to wait until mid March anyway.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
