Bilt Iron Workers Steel Protective CE Armor Aramid Fiber Relaxed Fit Denim Street Bike Motorcycle Riding Jeans - Distressed Denim 30

Very nice pants. Exactly as pictured. They aren't really a dark blue as described, they are more charcoal black with a slight bit of dark blue....I like the color and ordered them because of the picture. They are exactly the same size as ordered. I wear a 32 x 32 in a Costco/Kirkland Jean and they fit just like those at the waist and inseam. They are not a skinny jean, they are a bit loose fit which I would rather have. Also there is definitely Kevlar, there is a label in the pants that says "Reinforced protective lining 60% Kevlar, 40% Polyester. In addition, there is a zipper on the back of the waist band, which I believe is for attaching/sewing to your jacket so it doesn't fly up in the wind while riding and to un-hook it you just unzip it. Also the knee pads sit right where they should when you bend your legs in a riding position. When you stand they're fine and not that noticeable There are also pockets in the hips to insert CE foam hip protectors. I like them!

They are 1st and foremost baggy. Hip hop baggy. It is heavier than regular jeans, walked 2 miles in them with the knee pads in and they feel good. Rode my ZX6R with them on and the knee pads leave the whole side of the knee exposed because the pads sort of tilt in towards the inner legs ↘️↙️ I would rather they tilt outwards to protect the side of my knee cap. The bagginess works well with my zx6r riding position as it allows for the pants leg to stay on the boots. I would have to say these would be great if they were not so baggy. 1 positive thing is, as a urban rider in NYC these pants allow me to wear less desirable but better protection under such as knee/shin guards. The size is true waist wise. I ordered 32 and they fit snug. Back of the pants have a attached zipper flat to connect to riding jackets with same attachment. Not many choices out there but for a 1st buy I am satisfied . After a two rides on my motorcycle I am not that happy with them.

I already own a couple pairs of Icon and Joe Rocket Denim/Kevlar riding pants and have liked them. However, these pants are a little known alternative that I like much better.These pants have the same Kevlar areas as the Icon and JR's, but the additional knee pads are a very nice touch. They are well built and very comfortable.I normally wear a size 36 jean and can get away wiht a "relaxed fit" in a 34. These pants in 36 really do fit fine and have the Lee 550 feel to them. The material feels a little thicker and heavier than the Icons or Joe Rockets.My only compliant is the same knee pads I liked above. In a hot day, the knee pads resting against your knee cap will get hot and your knee will sweat. The pads are removeable, so I could get past this with minimal issue.

As jeans, these seem to do fine. They fit me properly, they're nicely styled, and I've even gotten compliments on the look of them.As riding gear, they're a bit sub-par compared to other riding denim, even in the same sub-$100 price category: the Kevlar coverage is minimal, especially in the seat; it's applied in a bikini shape leaving your hips exposed to abrasion rather than shaped like boxers as most jeans have.The CE-rated knee armor, while well-placed (at least in my case - see other reviews) protects just the knee; my shins are on their own. And because of the padding around the armor pocket, my other armor doesn't fit under these jeans comfortably with the stock armor removed.They lack the mesh comfort liner of most Kevlar jeans to mitigate heat transfer and help air circulation while you ride so you stay cool, so I wear these when it's a bit cooler.These are a step-up from riding in Levis or other street denim for not much more than some people spend on fashionable jeans, but there is room for improvement; for another $20 or so you can avoid the shortcomings these have, but if price is your primary concern better these than riding unprotected.

Ok riders, here is the skinny. These jeans are thick like your girlfriend's booty. They don't whip about when you're rolling on throttle at a 100 MPH. But here is the catch, they do retain heat really well. So if you don't want the crotch sweat, you might also want to buy some water wicking panties on here to go with them. The knee pads sit right where you need them to be so you can cut into the turns and impress the ladies. Don't spend all night trying to figure out why there is a zipper attached to the back, just accept it and move on. Buy them. Wear them. You will like them.

I don't like my baby boy(he's 22) on a bike but when he asked me to order these through my account, I saw they have like kevlar in the knees?! I was thrilled to know he's using gear that protects him while he rides the Harley. The leather jacket, helmet & boots, great And, now he's got Jeans reinforced with Kevlar SO GREAT!!! It eases my mind a bit more. And, I wash them, on a gentle cold cycle and hang them dry. They're very high quality and well made. These are an excellent purchase for sure, especially for bikers!

These jeans are comfortable, look good, and provide some level of warmth when riding in cool weather. I wore them for days during Daytona Bike Week and they were great both on and off the bike. It remains to be seen how comfortable they will be in Florida summer weather, but so far, very good. I have thankfully not had the opportunity to test the kevlar lining, but for me at least, the knee area is covering my knees. I could see someone with shorter/longer legs than me (33 inseam) having an issue with the kevlar knee pads not lining up with their actual knee as these jeans are sized by waist only.I don't know if these are as protective as the expensive models like Dragging Jeans, but the Iron Workers are definitely a safety step up from regular jeans/pants.
