This is my second pair of these trousers, having purchased a pair for winter riding a year ago.There has been a marked increase in quality for these latest trousers in the material & stitching.The previous pair were in two parts, the outer & a winter liner that zipped in. They had removable knee & hip protection built in.My experience over the year is that the seams started to fray & rip appart & they were not waterproof.These new items are soo much better, however are constructed as a single unit ( no double layer ). This is not a problem as they are sufficently thick. They are waterproof as tested on the road. I have a 38" waist & 32" inside leg & wear these over my regular jeans so I bought a 40" waist with the long leg 34" which are perfect, not too tight & easy to get over my motorbike boots. These latest haveremovable knee protectors, two waterproof zipped pockets & the legs unzip fron top to bottom, secured by velcro.Would buy again.Update.....Was taken out by a car driver last week doing 40mph, ended up sliding on the tarmac. The material around my knee was badly ripped, however the protection stayed in place & saved my knee from damage. Not even a bruise on my knee. Already ordered a new pair.

Good fit and work well
Ordered one size up from my normal size and trousers fit as I would expect for one size up. Some of the reviews say that they are 'oversized' - I would not order them without going up one size. They seem really well made and the full length leg zippers are an excellent feature making them easy on - easy off. Another plus is that the lining is not the usual 'mesh netting' type lining that snags your shoes/boots when trying to put them on. Unless I have a pair of large boots on, I can put these trousers on unzipping the legs.Also - delivered really quickly from Bike-Wear-Direct as they have on my previous orders from them.In short - I'm really pleased with the trousers and their delivery.

Excellent value, well made overtrousers
I'm really impressed by these, especially given the price. They are excellent overtrousers with full length zips on both legs.I bought these so I could ride to work in my work trousers and boots without having to remove the boots or get changed on arrival. The trousers are well designed and are made to a high standard from high quality branded materials such as Cordura, Scotchlite and YKK zips. The belt and buckle feel robust.They are lined with a smooth material that allows you to easily slide them over normal trousers or baselayers.There is no thermal lining but they are quite thick so would be fine in winter with either normal trousers or baselayers underneath. I think they would be warm in summer over jeans or trousers if you had a long commute on a hot day especially through traffic, but that's the price for convenience. They do have a waterproof breathable membrane but how breathable I can't yet say.I'm a 34" waist with a 33" inside leg. I initially bought 34L as I thought they'd be sized bigger, but they were too tight over my 34L work trousers with a belt. I sent them back direct as per enclosed instructions for a 36L which are perfect as overtrousers.There isn't anything else with full length zips at this price point, and very few bike trousers of this quality at this price full stop.

Great material and protection for price
I got 28S but although it's short length it's 30" length so it's a bit long for me (28" length). The adjustable belt will help keep it snug around your waist but the trouser and belt does reach high up above my waist by quite a bit.It's very good wearing over trousers or jeans. I got the full length zip thinking that the trousers or jeans would gather up as I put this on normally but the slippery inside material made is easy to pull up. The exterior material is strong (Cordura), I say this because I skidded and fell off the bike, which scratched my leather jacket and underneath it there were small rips and tears, but this product and the trousers underneath were fine. The changeable knee pads protected my knees well but there was no hip protection, so it hurt my hip. There are strong zip pockets on the sides of the front and an extra zip at the back to attach to a jacket I presume.It is waterproof and windproof as far as I can tell but I was wearing thermals when temperatures were reaching 0 degrees so I was not feeling cold on my legs.If you care about protecting yourself on a bike, then this is a great purchase and worth every penny. I wanted something cheaper but I think I would have come off far worse when I fell off the bike so I'm glad that I got this.

Not waterproof in heavy rain. Velcro cheap and nasty
Not waterproof in heavy rain.less than 30 mins on my commute home I ended up with soggy hips, soggy crotch and soaking ankles and socks as the rain wicked up the lining then onto jeans and socks finally filling my boots.They are very warm though so with a pair of Peterstorm Packable water/windproof trousers over the top they are good enough for now.Velcro and zip down each leg is useless as it takes way too much effort to get them off. quicker just to remove boots. then do it.The velcro is really cheap and nasty, it is already shredding and coming away from the tape
