Summer Motorcycle Trousers

Westie: Extremely comfortable

I was a bit apprehensive buying these after Motolegends review saying the ankle was tight and might not fit over boots. I neednt of worried, as they go over my Alpinestars touring boot with no issues. They are extremely comfortable, and the material stretches easily when moving round the bike, standing whilst riding and anything in between. Whilst they do flow air, its only marginally more than jeans unless I stand up, when it is noticeable. The armour pockets are well placed as well. The side zipped pockets are deep and large enough to fit my wallet and keys in comfortably. Fantastic service from Motolegends as always. Cannot recommend them enough as a shop, and Id recommend the Klim Marrakesh pants as well.

Jamie Whiting: Robust summer trouser

Being Rukka these trousers are well made and substantial, as anyone who has owned Rukka gear will attest to this is par for the course, they also fit well and Rukka sizing is such that almost anyone will be able to get the correct fit unlike the offerings from Klim. They flow plenty of air, and most importantly allow you to sweat properly without becoming soaked, as the condensate can escape owing to the design of the fabric. They are all day comfortable, although as with any Rukka trousers they are probably best worn with braces lets face it, these are not a stylish propostition in any event, so braces arent going to make things any worse!. I also own a pair of Rokker Legends, and can confirm that the Rukkas do flow more air. Why do I choose to ride in these over a good pair of jeans? in the first instance they are cooler at speed and you wont get as clammy in pari passu weather, secondly it is undeniable that the armour is huge and correspondingly the margins of protection particularly at higher speeds will be greater - how much of a consideration this is is a personal matter. Overall I would say that these trousers are the choice if you are going on a serious days ride in hotter conditions covering several hundred miles. if you are going out for a Sunday bimble, a pair of jeans is likely to be better. If there is one very small criticism it is that due to the loose design of what I would describe as the blind hem of the trouser is loose, which means I end up getting my feet stuck in the lower leg area, requiring a bit of faffing to clear the snagged material. A solution might be to stitch this blind hem to the outer chassis of the trouser, thus preventing feet getting stuck. Who knows, maybe it is just me it would not be the first time!.
