I've been trying to find a comfortable, stylish, and protective pair of casual riding pants. I wear all kinds of different gear from a one piece suit for my commute to work to mesh over-pants to just plain jeans. I've struggled to find a pair of kevlar reinforced jeans I could wear for a local riding that didn't look overtly moto and these Scorpion jeans are it for me.
First, I ordered my normal jean size and they fit right. I think they may be a little longer than the same size Levis, but that's not a bad thing when sitting on the bike. Second they are a really good five pocket style, sitting at your natural waist and a close cut through the legs. They aren't relaxed fit or baggy. They also don't have seams where the kevlar is in the butt, hips and knees.
They are dark blue like un-prewashed jeans, but the denim is soft and comfortable. I like fit and feel, the only question I have about them is how they will wash and wear over the years. I don't know how kevlar stands up to washing--will it stay the same size as the denim shrinks over time? They have the same washing instructions as my Triumph Cargo pants, wash in cold water and line dry although these also say to dry in the shade. No dry cleaning or harsh detergents.
If you are looking for a pair of kevlar reinforced riding jeans that look normal sitting in the restaurant then these are the jeans for you.
I paid $119.95 with free shipping from motorcyclegear.com.
