Default Opinions Needed - Alpinestars vs Dainese Pants

I'm trying to decide between these two pants. They both seem pretty similar. I prefer the styling of the Dainese but the Alpinestars aren't bad either. The Alpinestars seem like a better value as they include a liner and some hip padding for less money. However the Dainese brand is awesome and they may be better for riding on hot days and I am located in Southern California. I had a pair of Icon Arc pants but they were WAY too baggy. I'm looking for something that fitts tighter. Please help if you have experience with either. Thanks.

I guess you can't link from Kneedraggers but there is a lot more useful information on their website.

I like them both, but I would vote for the Alpinestars

Went with the Dainese Drake Air because of all the positive reviews that I have come across. And hopefully I'll be able to get a Dainese jacket at some point to zip into them. I will give a review when I receive them in a week or so.
