Riding pant advise

I am not a corner carver, just a regular street rider out for 5-6 hour rides. Do these look like they offer more protection than kevlar jeans and does anyone have experience with these.

Those look good. I would try and find a store that carries them, and try them on for fit.
Different manufactures use different cuts. Find the ones that fit you best.

The thing I liked about them is that they are not 100% leather. I have a Shift jacket that is the same. it stays half way cool in the summer and still would offer protection in the sliding areas. Just trying to see if someone had good or bad things to say about them.

Look like they would be the hot ticket for the Florida weather.

Almost anything with leather in the impact areas will be better than denim/kevlar jeans.

Webikeworld has a review on these and rated them high. I want a pair if I can find somebody locally so I can try them on They can be worn over pants too. Supposedly the knee hangs low when standing but is perfect when riding.

I read the article , Thanks. The dyer jacket is the one I already wear so it looks like the pants are the same quality. Looks like I am sold. Thanks guys

Nice, let us know how they work out!

congrats on your gear!!!! If you wear jogger's tighs, it will be much cooler in heat. It's either your blood, or sweat. you picked right option.

Let us know how they fit and feel! Congrats man! safe riding!

Got the pants in today and the 34 fits like a 34 . These things are more comfortable than I could imagine. I will give a riding review after I ride this weekend in the heat. Glad I got the leather, I am sure they will be even more comfortable after the leather breaks in.

Are they armored ?

Just in the legs not in the hips. But that is easy to do if I want. Will give pics this weekend. They are perfect for what I want, a cross between race pants and jeans.

Leather will keep you cooler sometime, because it keeps the hot air off of you.

leather can be cool. I have a perforated teknic leather jacket that feels like wearing nothing.. it keeps the sun off your skin but also flows air into it.
