Carolyn F
Verified buyerGreat versatile bang for the buck
“Great versatile bang for the buck - great for chilly mountain rides with the liner, or as over pants to commute. I like the fit of my similar Rev'It pants better, but this, $100 less, can't beat that.”
Sandra F
Verified buyerComfortable Riding Pants!
“FINALLY found a pair of riding pants that felt great from the moment I slipped them on! Really warm, quilted removable liner for frosty mornings, Lightweight, but waterproof pants with liner removed. Side adjustments for that perfect fit; leg cuff zippers for easy on/easy off over boots; good protection with knee pads. I purchased a 2XL, which equates to a 14, and matched my measurements, and they fit like they were made for me - more than I can say about riding jeans I have purchased that say they are my size. Can't wait to go for a ride with them on!”

Verified buyerWarm... too warm?
“I bought these for the Dalton Highway. The pants having no option for airflow were miserably hot in anything approaching 75F, which was most of the trip. For the section north of the Brooks Range they were great; at 35F with the quilted liner zipped in (and Hippo Hands and a heated jacket liner) I dare say I was too warm. With the quilted liner removed, and just using thin long johns I was comfortable from 45-65F. In summary these pants will be great for riding in the PNW in the Spring and Fall... 45-65F with chance of rain. I can't yet speak to enduring waterproofness or durability. I'm 5'5" ”

Verified buyerMade for a woman's body
“After trying other women's brands that seemed to be all over the board in sizing and also a few "unisex" pants... I was pleasantly surprised at how well these fit and how comfortable they are. They are definitely designed for a woman's curves without leaving big gaps anywhere or being so snug you feel like you need to size up 6 times to pull them over your hips. I'm normally a size 12-14 pants, and I got the Large, and it is quite comfortable and does have the cinches on the side to adjust the waist as desired. They are durable and have the inner thermal layer (which I have already used in my ”
Jamie
Verified buyerAmazing pants!
“Got these for my wife and love them. They're everything we was hoping for and more. For the money you can't beat them. They're super warm with the liner in (which is nice and thick). Pretty true to size. Fit amazing”
Margaux L
Verified buyerToo big in the waist, not adjustable.
“The pants were nice, but we're short-waisted. I'm a curvy girl with a very small waist compared to my hips, so these pants were way too big in the waist, and the adjustability of the waist tabs was just about zero. I'm 5'4 and 185 lbs. I bought an XXL. So I returned these pants and found some at another store that had a higher waist with more adjustable tabs that worked better for me. Hopefully this helps if anyone is a similar size to me.”
Dee W
Verified buyerVery warm!
“I finally got to wear these. I am a very cold person and new to riding. Had a sunny, upper 50's day to ride. These pants with the liner in kept me warm! Didn't feel the wind at all except around the ankles (I forgot to tighten them). Only complaint is the seem to ride up the leg a lot once seated. I'm quessing due to the protection/padding.”

Ze W
Verified buyerGood deal on all-weather pants with some armor +pockets for more
“Comfortable, helps keep me warm and dry, mostly a good fit. Slightly short with the BILT Pro Tourer boots I have, the legs lift off the top edges of the boots, letting water into the gap. I've been using leg gaiters, which solve the issue, though it's more to deal with. I'm ordering taller boots to try. Otherwise, they're a great deal for what I needed, and they do the job well. They do also have pockets for hip-armor, which would've been nice to know when I ordered it so that I could've gotten that at the same time. At 5'9 and 170lbs, I was swimming the large, while the medium still fits over”

Linda R
Verified buyerVery big
“Sizing on the pants are way off. I followed the size chart and ordered a large but they were way too big. I am a US size 8 (waist 29” / hips 40” / thigh 22”) but I could pull these on and off without using the zipper. I wanted them to go over heated pants but even with them they swamped me. The pants looked to be high quality and thick. I had to return them and the mediums are out of stock. The other catch was J&P does not have free returns so this experience cost me $10 to ship back.”
