John Doe Clothing

I've had the black for some time now & bought the camo as a back up but I love the look so much they're now my main. Really comfortable, including the knee armour. I probably could have gone a size down but I'm not getting any slimmer - the length was maybe too much, the hip armour seems a bit low down (need to check if adjustable).

Mostly waterproof (if you wash them, wait until dry then iron to re-waterproof), except the groin - not sure if it's my riding position (cruiser with mid-controls) but when it's lashing down, I've twice had a pool start in the groin area...lovely.

Quite warm for walking around (they're thicker than they look, what with the lining). Fine when riding though & will do for temperatures 8° and up. Need thermals below 8°.

Storage is brilliant - as well as usual combat trousers pockets, there's a handy zipper pocket on the left for house keys & lighter. So seven pockets in all - back and lower side with poppers.

Love them.

Great quality and fits to size

Fit is perfect - True to size. Stops that little chill when the sun dips in the afternoons.

I wanted a pair of motorcycle trousers that were:
AAA rated
Comfortable and wearable on and off the bike
Didn't look like specific motorcycle jeans
Featured functional and useful pockets and belt loops that were strong and well positioned

These John Doe Cargo Pants met and exceeded my needs and expectations and are now the first pair that I choose to wear for pretty much every ride. The fact that they have discreet, slim but effective armour makes them comfortable to wear on and off the bike. There is a very definite high quality feel and look about them that is obvious as soon as they are taken out of the bag.
They really do feel and fit very well.
I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone.

A couple of points to note which are absolutely not deal breakers given that sizing across brands of motorcycle clothing of pretty much all types is not consistent.
I am a 36" waist and regular inside leg size.
I found the 36" waist to be generous and the 34" inch waist to be an excellent fit.
The regular leg length is 29" rather than the usual 32" so I found them 'long' size best for me.

Supremely comfortable, easily the most comfortable biker trousers I possess. Not sure whether they'd hold up in a spill on the open road, but fine round town. John Doe Knee armour looks and feels cheap, so you may want to upgrade that..

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but the material is sturdy and well put together. pockets for armour have Velcro closures. Doesn't even look like you have armour when wearing. FYI, the horizontal stripes are barely noticeable in person.
