Bought these on closeout last year: http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Gear/Mens-Textile-Motorcycle-Pants/LP2821Wore them for the first time yesterday. The quilted removable liner is excellent. They claim "waterproof", but I was more interested in colder weather protection. The knee armour is generous, but comfortable. Left the house yesterday in 43 degrees (personal low, I think) - these pants worked great. I give them a  BTW - this company's gear is first quality. I've had these pants for a year and they are still holding up well: http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Gear/Mens-Textile-Motorcycle-Pants/LP2832Black |

You mean you didn't have to buy from the "High Pocket" section?  |

Love my fleece-lined jeans. This time of year they become my standard riding attire until I pick up a pair of overpants. My b-day's coming up in a few weeks; maybe I need to send this link to SOQS.  How do those run size-wise. I'm 5'9", about 190; can anyone recommend a size that might be a good fit? |

My blue jeans are 36 x 34. If the legs were about 1 inch longer, it would be a little better, but High Pockets Pants has gotten used to this inconvenience over the past 30 years.  Nice product and reasonably priced. We hit I-49 doing 70 mph in mid 40 degree temps. My legs were nice and toasty. If you want to wear these as overpants, perhaps one size up would be appropriate. |

If I could find a pair of riding pants that even came close to the right length I'd know for sure they were ice skating in hell.  |

Are these over-pants? I didn't see that exact text on the site, but I would get these for riding to work with. Maybe order 1 size larger?

I would not call these overpants. They do come with a removable quilted liner and without that, the legs are real "puffy" - so I suppose that might work. One size larger might also work. Also, the removable liner is zip-out around the waist, with the little snap and elastic on each leg - to keep the liner in place. Since my legs are so long (again, always a problem), on Saturday, I simply unsnapped the leg elastic thingies, and then tucked each liner leg inside of my riding socks, and then draped the pants leg over that. Worked terrific - no wind on my legs. Hope that makes sense. SOQS says I'm a Fashion Disaster - I consider that a tremendous compliment.  Detdrbuzzard - let me know what you think of these pants. |

Today the kind Buzzman took a ride on his Wing and delivered a pair of these pants to me. They are of very good quality, extremely comfortable and fit like they were tailored for me. Highly recommended, a definite 4 thumbs up! Thanks Pants for your review, sure helped in getting a real value! They're still on sale boys and girls, unbelievable quality for that price! http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Gear/Mens-Textile-Motorcycle-Pants/LP2821  |
