Verified buyerGreat Product
“Great product. I wear slim fit jeans to work over this and you can't even really tell any armor is there. Only issue is no knee protection, but this is definitely better than just jeans.”

Verified buyerThe Moose Racing XC1 Guard Base Armor pants are awesome
“The Moose Racing XC1 Guard Base Armor pants are awesome. Extremely lightweight, fit perfect with great compression unlike others I've tried on that were loose. Nice D-30 pads on the hips where needed. I'm extremely happy with them.”
AJ the Dirt Poet
Very happy
“I love em for under motocross pants and knee braces. Prevents chafing. Buying a 2nd pair in case they stop making them. They do run small. I am 32 waist and I prefer a large. Not too snug and I wear underwear. They are not expected to have knee protection.”

Verified buyerTight fit
“These pants seem to run small in size, they fit like yoga pants I’m 6’4 and 185 lbs and the large almost didn’t fit me. Outside of that, these pants are great, makes me feel like I have some protection if I take a slide.”

Disappointing
“The silicone band on the ankles and waist burns and produces blisters, it does not have good breathability and produces a bad smell, it is not comfortable, a poorly designed product”

Verified buyerDisappointed
“I give 3 stars, because this is not what I was expected. I bought this for motorcycle rides, but the padding won't help if you fall. Also, this is not a mateial that will help against possible burn. They are no knee protection and hips protection. The description is confusing for person like me that doesn't even know what moose racing is.”
