The Covert Pro are on my shortlist. Just make sure you get the Pro and not the normal one. Some guy on Reddit posted his post-crash pics in the non Pros and although he was saying they held up great he had no skin left on his ass and a bunch was missing from his legs. They are half the weight Kevlar and if I remember correctly the denim isn't a Cordura blend.

I just found out about Kushitani and am intrigued. Leather jeans that you can't tell are leather until you touch them. Also available in perforated. VERY expensive, though.

I'm still trying to find some perforated leather overpants or just some solid leather with decent ventilation. I can find this in straight up pants but few options with a full side zip making them easier to get into and out of with regular street clothes beneath.
They also sell pants made out of Zylon which they claim is 7 times stronger than Kevlar, and costs 1/3 what their leather pants cost ($195 vs $600+).
