Very comfortable
Purchased about a month ago, have since done over 800km (500 miles) of riding in them. So here’s the pros and cons
Pros: comfortable, sized appropriately if you use the chart, breathable, higher quality material used in construction vs other alpine pants, fits over smx6 alpine boots, zips nicely to tech air textile jacket, pockets have ample room for keys, phone, wallet.
Cons: air vents don’t really feel like they provide all that much more airflow (could be the type of bike I ride and the riding position I’m in)
does NOT include hip armour (not a deal breaker for me) hip armour pockets are not sized for any other type of armour except the alpine bioflex armour. (I own a tech air race suit and thought to move my hip armour over for those longer and more dangerous rides for the “better safe than sorry” mentality, it does not work)
Very limited choice of colours (would be nice to get some other options like Grey, khaki (tan?) white, navy blue, anything besides black to help mitigate those hot days when wearing black isn’t fun.
Protection would get 4* if hip armour was provided, OR if hip and knee pockets were expanded to accept better armour (like the armour found in your race suit)

For fall and spring
This is more for fall or spring riding. Flow a little of air when the vents are open on the side but it’s still warm. It fitting more for taller and skinnier riders. Still feels good and comfortable to ride with. Comes with the Nucleon flex armour level 1 on the knees and has pockets for the bioflex hip armour
