Pros: Pants material is very soft and the loose fit makes for comfortable riding. I personally would not make any changes to either material or cutting. Overall quality of garment seems quite good and I would expect many miles of service from the pants.
Cons: Walking with the knee pads in place is quite uncomfortable. The pads shift up and down and very quickly irritate the legs. Removing the pads before walking is not practical unless one enjoys mooning. I will probably discard the original pads for ones which strap directly to the knees. Of course doing so will negate any direct benefit from the $80+ pants. In summary I would not purchase the Cortechs again.
This was my first purchase from Kneedraggers and I would certainly recommend them to anyone. Price was reasonable, communications were great, and shipping was fast.

perfect fit
By Ricardo from New york, APO AE
Pros: These pants are real comfortable and give that stylish look when your riding. I like the fact that the pants have leather panels in the hips, rear and knees for extra sheilding and protection.
Cons: The knee pad pockets are alittle spacious causing the knee pads to move around.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Comments: Overall review of the pants is a 5, just for the fact that these pants are so comfortable and have the extra safety features. For the price they are well worth it, it beats buying leathers with... (Read the rest of this review)

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA
Pros: Great product. I was looking at the Icon series of riding jeans initially and I am glad I made the choice to get these. They are very comfortable and actually have added protection in the seat and knees. The Icon jeans are exactly that...just another pair of $90 jeans.
Cons: The knee protectors do tend to move around in the oversize pockets. I hand stitched the pockets to match up to the fit of my jeans. It's a little time consuming but ends up working great.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Comments: Great product. Does exactly what it is sypposed to do - looks like regular jeans but adds the protection of leather for the worse case scenario. Shipping from Kneedraggers was also excellent -... (Read the rest of this review)

Interesting Fit
By Ryan from Oregon
Pros: Pants feel good while riding (both pairs). The armor in the knees feel weird while anywhere but on the bike. The position of the pads has been adjusted for having your knees higher than normal. They are more suited to sport bikes and super bikes, not cruisers. Good for moderate weather.
Cons: Not good for inclement weather.Inconsistent sizing.
Sizing Info: Other
Additional Sizing Notes: I bought two pairs of these pants and orders them the same size. One size in blue, one size in black. When they arrived I was surprised to find that the blue pair fits extremely tight, much like the Wranglers I used to wear as a kid. The Black pair however fits extremely loose, practically falling off.
