Positives

  • Works well for curvy and hourglass builds, with little gap at the spine
  • Inseam length works well for average-height riders around 5'5" to 5'7"

Watch-outs

  • Sizing runs large; most riders sized down one to two sizes from their measured size

Love These Jeans, but Size DOWN

Ok, it took a few iterations of orders to finally get a size that fits, but I LOVE these jeans. I measured, remeasured, and triple measured myself and decided I was either a 6 or an 8. Well.... Two of me could have fit into either of those, so these babies run BIG. I ended up settling on a size 2 and absolutely love them. For reference I'm 5'7", 135lbs, athletic build. They fit well without cutting off circulation when seated. And when off the bike they're still somewhat stylish if that's what you're going for! Padding in the hips is nice, most jeans I see don't come with that, and it's a feat

Good fit, runs kind of large

I wanted a pair of bluejean style riding pants and these are perfect. They are the right length and shape with very little gap at the spine even though I'm hourglass shaped. I took pics with hip and knee armor in the pants so you can see what they look like on a person - but totally forgot to take off the belt to show the waist. They are reasonably hourglass shaped pants and the belt isn't hiding any gapping at the spine. I'm 5'6" and 165lbs with a 31" inseam, 32" waist, 43.5" hips and usually wear size 12 US pants due to hips butt and thighs. I took the advice of several other reviewers an

I ordered one size smaller than my measurements and I wear a belt to help the back of the waistband lay closer to my body (it sticks out a bit because of my curves). I like to cuff the bottom of the legs and show the reflective detail. I also like that the hip and knee pads are included. I am satisfied overall with these jeans.

Amazing, great fit

Amazing fit, very comfortable, pockets are easy to use. Comes with high quality D30 Ghost knee and hip armor, which somewhat makes up for the high price. Build quality is top notch, armor pockets are slim and easy to use. I bought a US size 4. I am 5'3", 135 lbs. I have a 32" waist, 37" hips, 24" thighs, 31" inseam.

Great jeans!

Great jeans! I'm 5'5 and around 160lbs. I ordered the size 8 per the reviews and sized down 1 size. The length is the best out of all the jeans I've tried so far. Pretty comfortable a little snug around the wait but I'm hoping it will break in a little with use.

Betty PPE Moto riding jeans

Giving it 4 instead of 5 stars because the fit was entirely different from their XC lite riding pants. The light weight pants make everyone look good, any size. These are cut short waisted, so the waist band comes in tight at what is really the top of my hips.Not flattering. So I had to buy them too loose, but other than that, high quality from Klim.And, they are generously sized, as mentioned in other reviews.

love them!

I just received these pants and am in love! They are comfortable and fit me like a glove. I am 5'6", 155lbs and curvy. I usually wear a size 8 but ordered a 6 based on the other reviews. The armor is easily removable and doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when inserted. The jeans can totally pass for a regular pair of jeans. I really like the dark blue color as well. They are expensive, so I hope they last.

Stretchy, comfy, look like normal jeans

Love how stretchy they are. Plus they look just like normal jeans. I usually wear size 2/26 but ordered 0 per reviews and they fit perfectly, no crowding even with all the padding.

Favorite riding jeans

So comfortable with peace of mind that it has armor for maximum protection. I love that they are not stiff, but quite flexible. I normally wear a size 4/6, but the size 2 fits perfectly.
