First off, the pants are very comfortable, enjoyable to ride in. They also look great, and they do seem like they'd hold up in a slide.

That said, my first round of pants had to be sent back for missing pocket buttons. And now with my second pair, just out of the warranty period, the zipper just broke. I did not force the zipper, it didn't get caught on anything, it just stopped working properly. Attention to detail is what makes a product great, and NBT has no attention to detail in their QC. Because of that zipper, I had to ride unprotected today, so who cares if they would protect in a slide? NBT does not take your safety seriously because they sell a product that can't be work due to their lack of care for the details.

The pants fit well and are very comfortable and soft. I have other brands of riding jeans and these are the most comfortable by far.

I exchanged twice the sizes are not right and they run too tight, will see how long they will last. Might even return for a refund before i use them.

Everytime I've gotten the cargo pants 2.0, the first one, the knee zipper broke, then on the second pair the crotch zipper broke. Got a refund but still had to pay $17 for new pants. Don't get these pants, the zippers are very cheaply made

Almost completely satisfied the only thing was I wear riding boots and the legs around the calf hardly fits around the boot,
