First off, I am in no way associated with Dubinky. Didn't plan to give the Colorado pants a rain test but it happened. I rode 2 hours in a Georgia frog drowner and was pleasantly surprised on how dry I was. The only place I was wet was in the crotch area. I've never owned a pair of riding pants that this wasn't the case. If I had my Dakars on I would been soaked everywhere. Really liking thee pants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mark
Are you still in business? I looked at your site to order but you dont have product or is you site messed up Need 36-38 pant Thanks
Hi, I just checked and its working for me.....:huh Under products you could not selected either pants or jerseys and add them to the cart? Let me know what your seeing on your end and I'll get it fixed. Is 36-38 your actual waist size or jean size. Thanks and sorry for the issues with the webpage Ben PS if anyone else is have a problem with the webpage, please let me know.
Ok works now. I tried to pull down a size and it only gave me medium before. Working now pants size 36. riding gear is usually tight at 36 due to braces and shorts with padding so 38 . looks like size large will work thanks bob
Bob, Good. I would guess the larges will work, but maybe just measure your waist with a tape to be sure and compare the the sizing chart. Some times jean sizing can be very misleading. Let me know if you have any questions Thanks Ben
hi ben. i continue to enjoy the pants, the more i wear it, the more comfortable it gets. so far, only 1 crash, both rider and pants did well, no so much for the bike.... big thanks for supporting to the 2013 death valley noobs rally. the ride report is here. peter (the grinch) was the lucky winner... perfect fit.... i will try to make it to westfest and hope to see you there. cheers! joel
Joel no problem, glad they found a good home and I enjoyed following the Death Valley Thread. I hope Westfest is as much fun (you set the bar high!), I hope you can make it
I apologize to everyone waiting for the 2013 Colorado Pants, there have been several delay's I have had to work though............ I might start getting some of the 2013 inventory in next week, but it will probably be a few more weeks. Im sorry this has taken so long and thanks to those that are waiting. Here is some customer photos at THE DUBINKY WELLS!!!
Hey Ben No worries, I'm still in good shape with the pants I have, just curious is all. I googled Dubinky Wells and cant fnd relevant info. I haven't ridden Green River before,(Moab mostly and the SLC area only a little) but would like to check it out next time we're there. Got any links for us? Those are some big wells... Garrett
It really is an amazing place and one of the few in the Moab area that is not packed full of people. The riding is great and there is a little of everything for miles on end. You would have to spend a lot of time to be familiar with all the riding between Green River and the south side of the area. Here are some links about rides in the area and also a post with several videos and a little history about why we are called Dubinky: http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20299378&postcount=57 http://www.motoutah.com/component/c...oab-area-ohv-trails/101-white-wash-sand-dunes http://www.utahmototrails.com/2012/03/dead-cow-wash-dirt-bike-trail-white.html Map: http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/media...n_maps_in.Par.99779.File.dat/Orange Trail.pdf Article from the Moab times about the history of the area: The Way Sam Remembers It 11.10.05 - 12:14 am Southeastern Utah has its share of funny names. How they got them has always been interesting to me, and I am learning more all the time. Even though I have been to Dubinky Well, and the nearby ranch many times, most travelers on the Dubinky Road dont even know about the old line shack, since it is hidden in a nearby wash and is not visible from the Dubinky Road. I recently re-read Grand Memories, and got a hint about the name. I quote from that interesting volume now: One cold night two brothers, Red and Dubinky Anderson, camped at Valley City. They had heard that the big house (the abandoned hotel) was haunted, but thought they were brave enough not to believe it. In the middle of the night they saw a woman move slowly down the stairs. It frightened them so badly that they ran out of the house fast and kept running for a long way. One brother, Red Anderson, made his way to Thompson. A few men went back to Valley City to investigate. They found a badly frightened woman who had hidden herself when the brothers arrived, and had been trying to sneak out of the house without awakening the freighters. The men tracked the other brother, Dubinky. He had traveled barefoot over rough, cold country for more than ten miles. The place where he finally stopped was once a cow camp, with cabin and corrals built by a cattleman from Green River. Arthur Ekker bought the cattle and took over the range. Cecil Thomson bought the cattle from Ekker and used the cabin and corrals as a line shack. The range and camp, on the old Dead Horse Point road, are known as Dubinky. Whether the place was named for Dubinky Anderson, or whether Anderson was nicknamed Dubinky after hiding out there running from a ghost, is not known, at least to me. There is a dry wash just south of the Dubinky windmill and well. Up that wash a few hundred yards is the old Dubinky Ranch. It consists of a one-room cabin built from railroad ties, a dugout cabin north of the wash, and a cedar (juniper) corral. The corral was built by burying huge cedar posts right against each other, with the whole thing laced together with cable. Former Green River cowboy, Loren Million, said in an oral history a few years ago that he had worked and lived at Dubinky when the ranch was run by Art Ekker. He said that he had found a grove of the tallest cedar trees he had ever seen, out on Horsethief Point. He cut a bunch of them down and dragged them behind his horse to Dubinky Ranch where he built the corral. He found the cable at the site of an abandoned cable-tool drill site, and dragged it back to the ranch to tie the cedar posts together. I stayed a night or two there in the late 1940s, while spending some time with my cousin Vaughn Taylor, who ran the Cecil Thomson ranch from the headquarters at Horsethief Ranch I thought it was one of the neatest places I ever camped. Adrien and I have visited the abandoned ranch a number of times. It is much the same as I remembered it from my boyhood. Its isolation and invisibility from the road have kept it from the vandals over the years, and Lorens tall cedar corral was so sturdily built that it would still hold a bunch of wild desert cattle or horses. Not only the water well and ranch named Dubinky, but the area around the place is littered with a beautiful agate rock named by geologists and rock hounds as Dubinky Chert. We have polished some of the hard agate in a tumbler and it makes a beautiful polished finished product. Ive been told that the area around Dubinky is the only place in the country where this particular type of flint is found. Its value to early Native Americans is proven by the finding of arrow and spear points made of Dubinky Chert in many Anasazi sites all over the western United States. The next time you take a drive over the Dubinky Well road, turn up the sandy wash bottom just south of the well and take a look at the old line shacks and corral. Just dont do them any harm. Theyve withstood the test of time pretty well to date, particularly Lorens cedar post corral. © moabtimes.com 2005
Cool! Thanks Ben. Planning a trip out that way next year and I'm sure we can fit the area into our plans. Love abandoned towns, houses, mills, mines etc. Garrett
Hi Ben, these pants look good! Just wondering, haven't read yet, are these water resistant? I seen they are 4 seasons. Is there a liner that comes off for hot weather? Also, I take it no armor included, do all armor fit? Can I use the sample code still and is there still an ADV discount? Should I wait for new 2013 pants? Added benefits to design? Thanks. Dave
When are the lighter colors going to be available? I like the pants but not in black! I'd hate to have to go buy a pair of Dakars just because they are Silver/white.
Sorry for the delay I was in Utah doing this........ So back to questions Sorry right now I have my hands full just getting these made so I dont see any additional colors coming soon Mint Julep..... The 2012 Colorado Pants do not have an option for armor, however the 2013 Colorado Pants will have the option and I will be selling Forcefiled CE rated Knee and Hip armor. They should be available in the next few weeks, I will post full details on the new pants when they are ready to sell. There is no liner, the pants are designed to fully zip up and be almost wind proof in cold weather and then there are 4 massive vents that open the entire length of the upper thigh to flow tons of air for warmer weather, so the goal when I made these was to have more of a "do it all" pant. This also provided excellent durability for trail/enduro riders and great crash protection for DS/street because the pant shell is 100% nylon, either 840/1680 opposed to Nylon or mesh on many pants. As to water resistance see this post from a few pages back..... Thanks guys, let me know if you have any other questions and happy riding spring is here
I am starting to get the 2013 stuff in and it is now listed on the webpage, ready to be sold. As soon as I get time (I am still trying to get ready for Canyonlands) I am going to do a post highlighting the new 2013 Colorado Pant. I think people will really like it and I now have XL and Medium Tall sizes. Check the new stuff out at Dubinky.com
