Nice and long, true waist size.
These are pretty nice jeans. I wear 36 waist in most jeans and these are a little loose. S B pretty comfortable when riding. My problem with other motorcycle jeans is that they aren’t long enough. They fit hood while standing or walking but ride up too high on my boots when riding. These 34” inseam jeans are nice and long - probably too long for normal wear but perfect for riding. Can’t verify any protection since o haven’t crashed on them but the amour appears to be placed in the right place. Appears to be a good purchase.

Great pants....not your normal fitting jeans!
Saw many reviews on how the pants are weird fitting. Well they are! The back is up higher than normal pants...if you wear them like normal pants the crotch hangs down like kris/kross rapper pants, the knee pads do hang low. BUT....! When you pull them up...the back of the pants go far enough up that your butt is completely covered when your shirt or jacket comes up from the wind the pants are still up where you don't look like Bubba on a ducati. I just did a 300 mile trip to, then down and then away from the blue ridge parkway on my aprilia 660 wearing those pants. They were more comfortable then regular Jeans because of the elastic stretchable parts of the pants and the design of them. At 80° the pants get warm not moving but were fine while riding. The parkway was 60-65° depending on the elevation, it was a little chilly with the pants but not bad...the knee pads kept my knees warm and the hip pads kept my hips warm (that was nice!). While riding the kneepads were positioned right where they needed to be.I wear 30x32 pants normally these I could only get in 32x32 which I did not like at first because while not on the bike were a little long. But while riding, the pants reached down to my boots like they normally would with my regular jeans while standing up.I really like these riding pants and will be buying an extra pair or two before they change the design or discontinue.One other thing...I have noticed when buying riding gear most companies use 1/4" foam and call it armored gear...these pads are about 3/8" thick and are more of a plastic rubber material. I don't know what real certified high dollar CE rated armor looks or feel like but the armor they use in these pants is much much better than the cheap foam I have seen in the past.Hope this helps anyone on the fence when buying these.

Good jeans
The jeans are comfortable and roomy enough to ride comfortably. They do run big in the waist. Everywhere else they fit perfectly. In the waist they feel about a full size too big. The pads come out easily a d allow you to store them if you commute. That helps with not needing a change of clothes. As far as the jeans go, they aren’t abrasion resistant at all. Only the pads are CE Lvl 2. NOT the jeans. Compared to the other brands that run $200+, these are just as good, or better.

Very pleased
Fit was perfect, kneed armor lies exactly in the righ place with no adjustment. CE Level 2 knee armor as stated. Comfortable, soft with slight stretch. Cuffs easily fit over my wide top Wellington style riding boots. Bargin at the price

Knee coverage needs to higher for shorter folk
Great pants with one big flaw. Quality and seems are great but knee pads start below knee when standing and even when sitting on motorcycle it does not provide great coverage. Should be advertised as shin guards . Please fix this for shorter folks by taking an inch or two off the top portion of pant. I’m 5’7” , 185lbs , normally wear a 34x30 which is the size i bought but it’s very high waisted so it fits like a 34x34. Had to roll up pant leg 2x. Quality feels much better than street and steel Del Mar pant and that pant goes for $139 , it is more breathable and looser too. Still a good buy considering since it includes pads for protection

Great Value MC Pant
My review addresses five points: Sizing, Fit & Finish, Protection, Features, Adaptability.Let me preface this review by disclosing my physique. I'm 5'4" (64") tall, with a 29.5" inseam, and 190lbs. I wear a 34W×32L pant size in regular jeans.Sizing:These pants run true to size in the waist (albeit strange due to the high-waisted cut). The length of the pants are fairly long in comparison to regular jeans, but nothing I couldn't overcome wearing my riding boots. The fabric is somewhat elastic in nature, so it does have a little give to it. The belt loops are evenly spaced and fairly thick compared to normal jeans.Fit & Finish:I purchased mine in the blue color, and was extremely satisfied with the darker blue hue these come in. The zipper (as another reviewer mentioned) seems to run shorter than regular jeans, which makes bathroom breaks a little cumbersome. The hip pads and knee pads fit in their respective pouches very well, and fit where they're supposed to. I will say that if you wear the jeans below the hips (as you would with regular jeans), the knee pads will sit lower on your knee caps and on the shins when standing. While in a riding position (In my case, forward controls) the pads lay in place even when worn improperly. When worn properly, the hip and knee armor sit anatomically correct on the body. The supplied armor is ce rated, but I swapped them for another brand of CE Level II armor. The pockets (as mentioned by a other reviewer) are fairly small- specifically the front pockets. My Samsung Galaxy S23 still has a corner out when seated or standing, but my rear pockets (which hold my wallet and tobacco) are appropriately sized. The stitching, along with the stretch seams appear uniform and well done.Protection:These pants come with an abrasion resistant material on the bum only, with CE armor (hip & knee) included. While I would've liked to have seen more abrasion resistant lining in the thighs and calves area, for the price point- I understand why that wasn't included. I'm not confident that these will provide much abrasion resistance in those areas that don't have the lining- as the majority of the material feels like a regular jean.Features:As I mentioned before, the pants come with armor. I swapped mine out for another brand, and they fit flawlessly. My favorite feature of these jeans is the fact that you can remove the knee armor from external zippers (for times when you're not on your motorcycle). The knee armor placement is adjustable, however, where you can pinch the velcro closed to raise/lower the pads. The high waisted cut allows riders good protection from exposing the tailbone and bum to the elements.Adaptability:These pants don't look much different from some designer jeans out there, which allow me the opportunity to wear them around town when I'm off my bike. The fact that they accept higher level armor of different brands also is a great positive attribute of these riding jeans.In conclusion, these are good warm weather riding pants, which will allow you the flexibility to not only be comfortable, but not look like a power ranger when you're out and about. If you're buying these as a secondary pair of riding pants, or limited on your budget and wanting protection- these are a great option. They do have a distinct chemical smell coming out of the packaging, but after 2 or 3 rides, that smell goes away. Whatever you decide- may your rides be safe and comfortable.**Edit** After washing these for the first time, they are reinforced with Kevlar, along with the Kevlar bum reinforcement. They also haven't shrunk, and removal/reinstallation of CE armor was as simple as the first time.**One Year Review**After wearing these riding jeans religiously for almost a year (14 days short), I am glad to report that they have withstood the test of time. I've worn these jeans with thermal base layers underneath them, with winter blocking chaps over them, have worked on motorcycles in them, and everything in between.They do seem to lose elasticity in the bum portion a little sooner than before (about every 4 rides compared to every 7 or so when new), however- there's no tearing, fraying, or thinning of either the denim or Kevlar portions of the pant. I'm so satisfied with these riding jeans, that I will be placing another order soon in the gray color. I'm not sponsored, financially compensated, or otherwise obligated to leave a positive review- I just want to share my experience and help other riders make a sound decision.*Yet ANOTHER Review*Just got another set in black, and wow am I impressed with the quality. Significantly better fitting than the first pair I ordered, NO chemical smell, better stitching, and STILL Kevlar®️ lined. I said it before, and I'll say it again- the supplied armor will do the job, but IS NOT my preferred knee and hip armor. Still accepts other brand CE armor and inspires even more confidence than the first pair.Upgraded the review to 5 stars, because these are a stellar value, keeping me protected and looking good!
