Fit is more relaxed than I anticipated- I probably could have gone down a size, unless it somehow shrinks after the first wash. Nice casual, comfortable jeans with some protection build in. I wish the padding positions were more adjustable. Having trouble getting the knee pads to stay in the right spot. Hip pad pockets kind of flop around too. Wish it included proper hip pads but luckily I have a set from another brand. Jean fabric is a bit lighter in weight to other more protective riding pants I have. I think the lighter fabric might be cooler on a hot day but less protective.
I bought these last year and got in a full riding season with them. I like the fact that they are lined with a very comfortable fabric. The denim material seems quite strong and while the overall weight of the jeans conveys a sturdiness/heaviness, they aren't too hot in summer temps....the larger relaxed fit and higher waistband are much appreciated too. I am sure they will last for many seasons, and the protection they offer is essential to my riding experience ! For the money, you get a good product.

They are very nice and well made.inside thers protecting material from top to bottom, they don't look like motorcycle pants witch is what I wanted,knee pads a bit bulky but can be replaced. Will they do the job,I don't know and hope I never do.
It's really comfortable and good value for the $. The sizing is made for a real Canadian so your normal pant size will fit you (not like the European companies). It has pockets for hips protection but no padding came with the pants and it's not available on the website
Easy ordering, quick shipping, good price. Fits true to size, comfortable, looks like normal jeans only with an abrasion-resistant liner and removable knee pads. Wide cuff fits over low-cut boots easily. Denim is only medium weight, but the whole point is to be comfortable whether riding or sitting at a patio.
