Rode over 1600 miles in 100 degree heat. Very comfortable due to stretch fabric. Surprisingly breathable. Will buy again.

I havent crash tested these jeans but ive found them quite comfortable for riding to work then wearing for 9-10hrs at the office. I had an issue where the knee armor pocket started come off the jeans (top part not the side stiching) about 4 months after I bought them and customer support replaced them no questions asked. The one issue i did experience is the new black colored ones I was sent fit a bit tighter than the denim colored ones. I ended up washing them and wearing them wet to stretch em a bit and theyre almost the same fit. Im sure they'll loosen up as I wear them more but something to be aware of.

I finally had a chance to test my new riding jeans. They're surprisingly comfortable! The hip and knee protection sit right where I need them. I washed them a number of times with hot water to help fade some of the color. I'll be putting these excellent riding jeans to good use next week while participating in the 2026 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. Gonna be great fun!

Wasn’t going to make a review but i slid out on oil today at 40 mph.
NBT hoodie and jeans - No gloves
Hoodie you can not see a single scratch and i slid on my back only for a good bit. Hand is chewed threw but my back and legs are un scathed. NBT is the goat is is incredibly comfy and you can wear it out

This gear saved me from a lot of pain, I ended up falling backwards off the bike going 50-60 (doing stupid ****) and my legs had nothing on them at all, and I didn't use the loops on the hoodie which is probably why I got road burn on my back and arm it ended up hiking up. But I slid on the road the whole way up to a stop and ended up getting up walking off the road and laying back down, because the pants had absolutely saved my legs would 100% recommend this stuff this gear is legit. Once the first responders got to me they were questioning whether or not my stuff was actually gearand someone ended up correcting them lol

When I first got these I was super impressed with the quality, they felt great and felt thick like they would actually protect me. Sure enough 30 days after buying them I low sided my bike at night on about 3 inches of sand that I couldn’t see going about 35-40 mph. I don’t have a single scratch on me, the outside (cotton layer) of the pants ripped but nothing went through the second protective layer. Overall I bought these pants as a new rider looking for gear to save my skin and I got exactly that. I cannot say enough they were 100% worth every penny. Your skin is worth more than the cost of these pants I promise.

These pant saved my knees in my accident wish they saved my arm tho 10/10 pants 0/10 crash

Great jeans. The quality was excellent but the size does run big. Get 2 sizes short in length.

Overall, good piece of gear. Armor is low enough rating that I wouldn't take it on the highway or anywhere fast but for commuting this is a great option.

Then pants fit great and are comfortable on my rides. It has been 90+ degrees here and the V-twin in my Buell pumps some heat, and I remain pretty comfortable. I don't even notice the pads and the stretchy material feels great even when a guy has one to many chili dogs. I would highly recommend for someone who is considering purchasing some high quality protection for the day that slide does happen.

The pants are somewhat stiff out the gate but that’s to be expected given the material it takes to achieve the safety rating it has. I do like how the pants look and I’ve been told the pants look great as well, people aren’t able to tell they are meant for riding. The pants are somewhat tight despite them being a straight fit, but I’m hoping they drop something more relaxed soon.

Overall, if you’re looking for something low key, casual and protective, this is a great option.

32×30 waist size for a bit snug compared to the 32×30 waist size on the Guardian Endurtec Slim Cargo Pants.
Recommend to either order a size up or get ready to replace the button on your own if you don't want to deal with the return process (even though it is free).

Customer service was excellent! Overall very comfortable. I had to exchange for a bigger size so make sure you size up from your regular jeans. I have about 250 miles in them so far and they feel pretty good. They are going to be a little thicker than regular jeans and in turn a little warmer than regular jeans but it really isnt bad for the protection level and peace of mind you get wearing them. I also got the black pair so Im sure that contributed to the warmth. Also, I could barley feel the armor. I would definitly reccomend these to anybody
