Excellent choice!
These are the most comfortable jeans I've ever tried. They have a fairly loose cut and a loose fit, they have a high waist, which is very rare! The elastic band on the waist is really functional. They are quite light and breathe well, you definitely won't be hot in them. They correspond to the stated size. They are good for plus size people. Disadvantages: they follow from their advantages, since they are light and thin, I think the protection will be a little weaker than their counterparts (but I haven't checked), although you should understand that jeans are always a compromise. I am very happy with the purchase. I definitely recommend them!

Good quality pants
Good quality pants, True to size and good material. They have vents and breather enough on their own, I wear these in the winter with some long johns and they are very confortable. They look like regular jeans. I have already purchased a second pair.

They’re alright
Good for spring riding , comfortable and the material looks/feels durable.The shin pads…I mean knee pads, sure hang way low and I considered returning the pants.But, after sitting on the bike with them on, and a bit of tugging, the placement is alright.The cut…I don’t know lol. I usually have a 32 inseam, these are 32 inseam but I literally have to pull them over my navel🤣.Doesn’t bother me too much at this price point, but I won’t be buying them again.

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!

Pretty good buy
Fit true to size if i was a true 34 waist (36 would be way to big, 33 would be to small). I imagine they'll shrink a little. Material is a little stretchy which is fine. Hip protectors have a good placement, knee protectors will need to get used to. Length is good and i don't look or feel like I'm wearing floods. I havenworn them riding yet because i just got back in town. Overall they seem pretty good so far, although....all the pockets are pretty shallow, zipper could be a better quality. I would recommend these for a budget friendly pair of riding jeans. My wife even feels better that i have actually gear rather than regular jeans. I'm 6'2" tall and about 190lbs (i ordered 34 waist and 32 length) and they fit pretty good, and not constricting that I've been able to tell. But I've only tried them on and walked around in them.

Theres better options outhere
I bougth these but these are weird fit, the knee protection is not adjustable and sits in yours shins, are good looking but thats it, theres better SAFEST options out there, example Bull-it jeans, HWK etc..

High quality for the money.
Nice quality and the pads actually line up in the right places, unlike the $100 pair of competitor’s pants I returned a few months back. Comfortable fit with some stretch. As others have mentioned, they do ride quite high, but not a deal killer. The slightly added length gave perfect boot coverage while riding. Definitely a keeper.

Not recommended
Had them for a year now, can confidently say that these are not a good option. The kneepads move around too much and the pants are extremely tight. The pockets are so tiny that you cant fit anything into them. You're better off getting a larger size. 6'1" 180lbs.
