FirstGear Mesh-Tex 2.0 Mesh Pants

These would really be cool riding in warm weather, the mesh breathes, if it's cooler than 55 degrees, wear jeans under or thermals.

Pros: nice fitting pants, good looking, im actually cooler in these pants then i am in jeans.

Cons: pockets are tiny. i can barely get my hands in the hip pockets forget trying to get anything in there. the knee pocket is decent for a wallet or somthing but nothing bigger.

Comments: good pants, safer than jeans for street riding. i like them but they need better pockets

Pros: Good Quality pant. They fit well and look pretty good. They are comfortable on the bike and fit over boots with out riding up etc...

Cons: Pads are weak. Aromor in the knees would be nice. Not especially cool. So far I have worn them on Winter days in Phoenix and they were warmer than jeans.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: These pants run tru to size very similar to Levis etc...

Comments: Over all I like the pants a lot. Good quaity at a reasonable price point. I would buy another pair.
