only a couple problems i have with these. im on the curvy side, so i expected there to be some gaping in the back; there is indeed gaping in the back. the other issue i have is the belt loops: why are they SO slim and why only 4?? wider waist and tiny belt loops makes for a slightly uncomfortable wearing experience, and im a firm believer that riding uncomfortable is riding dangerous. also, like others have said, the zippers are finnicky and dont like to move while wearing them, so armor up before you put em on!
now the positives. i LOVE how they look once i get them on. i like how i look, so i feel great, so i like how i look, and the cycle continues. theyre quite comfy to wear all day; i ride to work and wear them all day with no (other) problems. love that they actually go down to my ankles, so theyre not rubbing against my calves when i wear boots.

for reference: 5'4", 175 lbs, 34" natural waist, 44" widest hip/butt, 27" widest thigh. the 12 fits damn near perfect

sizes run 2 sizes small

I absolutely love the comfort and the security the pants give me. They also do stretch and do not feel tight at all , I will say they fit true to size in the legs but a little large in the stomach area .

Had a fall recently and was wearing these jeans. Had a pretty bad bruise on my leg for 2 weeks but it helped protect my legs for the most part.

I love how discrete they are with the paddings! Bought a size 12. I am 180lbs and 5’5”. They are lightweight as well. Very comfortable especially for riding which is hard to find.
