Cortech Mod Denim Pants

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA on 08/08/2008

Pros: They also work well with my strap on knee armor

Cons: The only down side was my own fault, I should have ordered a shorter leg and the armor would have ridden better on my knee.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller

Additional Sizing Notes: I normally wear a 34 leg but I think if I would have went with a little shorter leg the knee armor would have been in a better location.

Comments: I have no regets with buying these pants the it well, especially when on the bike.

Pros: These look like regular darkwash jeans. Very descrete leather placement and if you don't put the CE approved armor in the knee panels underneath you cant tell the difference. A plus because they offer more protection. These aren't low rise jeans and they do sit above the hip a good inch or two.

Cons: You look like you're slightly bending your legs if you put the knee armor in because they stick out a little bit. What other people said is also right...the knee armor is weird feeling when not on the bike. No one is going to notice it or care about it unless you're paranoid and think the world is out to get you.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Loose fit

Comments: I'm levi's size 30x32 and I bought size 30x32. I don't wear loose fit levis but these pants fit just fine. You need to really align the velcro under neath so a rough side doesn't stick out and... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Great fit. High quality denim. Feel really good on.

Cons: The distressed blue color is actually that color that looks like you've dipped a faded pair of blue jeans in a barrel of used motor oil.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: I love these jeans but unfortunately bought them to ride to and from the hospital. Once there I put on scrubs. My daily wear of the jeans would have been a total of about 20 minutes. The problem... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Leather panels feel solid. They seem like they would hold up in a skid. The knee pad inserts are heavy duty, and being able to adjust them is fantastic.

Cons: As with any knee protector in any pants, it hangs down below the knee when not in riding position, which feels odd when walking around. Since the protectors are in a pocket inside the pant leg, you can't just reach in and remove it easily. Also, the pants are a bit baggy, so the protector may not stay exactly in place in a dump.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Seem to fit true to size. Size 38 Levis are a little loose on me, and these Cortech pants fit the same way.

Comments: These are good pants. They fit true to size, and they are well put together and seem durable. The leather panels are nice, and feel like they will protect better than mesh in a slide. The knee... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Fits just like a normal pair of relaxed jeans - perfectly comfortable. Very fashionable denim style that look like regular jeans as well. Denim feels as substantial as any other name brand jean out there. Perforated leather covers the seat and knees for additional abrasion resistance - hopefully I won't test that out. Boot cut makes for a not too snug and not too loose fit around my MC boots - no flapping in the wind. Included CE approved knee armor sits right where you want it in the riding position.

Cons: Knee armor sits below your knee when walking. It doesn't obstruct you it's just annoyingly noticeable. Although securely attached to the jean by velcro I wonder if the armor will shift in an accident. Rear of the waist "cups" open when you sit allowing air to shoot down your backside - may not be a bad thing when it warms up. With knee armor installed the effective inseam shortens about 1 size when in the riding position.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller

Additional Sizing Notes: I normally wear size 36x32. With the knee armor installed the inseam is a tad too short when in the riding position. When walking they're fine.

Comments: For the money these really are a great alternative to plain jeans. I wanted riding pants I could feel comfortable walking around in that no other textile or leather riding pants could offer.... (Read the rest of this review)
