Spidi Clothing

These trousers fit perfectly. Just because you have a large waist does not mean that the legs need to be correspondingly large and Spidi understand this, these are a great fit unlike some other textile trousers that I own. The quality of the materials used is what you would expect from Spidi. Haven't tested in the rain yet.

I can’t even estimate how many jeans I’ve tried on over time. These are the closest to real denim jeans I’ve found. Comfortable, look great. Could happily even take the armour out of these and wear them causally.

There is no provision for a back protector, I did buy this knowing that as it is to wear under my Helite air vest. to wear on those slightly damp days when a heavy jacket is too much. I did stitch in a velcro strip so a D30 back protector can be fitted if I want to use it on it's own. but they could have done the same at the factory for a few penny's.

True to size, it fits nicely underneath a jacket, and doesn't add too much volume.
Looks solid and high quality

These were a long shot for me - I was looking for some touring trousers that could cope with hot climates and still be comfortable to ride and walk in - I originally wanted the Klim Marrakesh trousers but the sizing was all over the place to get ones that fitted it meant they were really baggy. So I looked at alternative materials to the Klim and these were fairly new in the market with no reviews. i talked direct to Spidi factory people via a chat format on their website and they were helpful with fitting details and materials used. I ordered from SBS because I trust them. I toured in them to Switzerland last year and all good - great venting, great comfort. I would worry about protection in a long slide but Spidi assures me they will stand up to a slide at legal speeds. Only slight niggle is I would have preferred Belt hoops so I could wear my own belt as the adjusters dont really cinch the waist up enough - i have had to add a pair of braces to help out BUT i have lost weight this year so I will try again without. They are only shower proof (on the basis they would dry quick in the wind) but I wear waterproof overtrousers if it becomes wet. Leg zips are a bit counter intuitive but do help with airflow a little.

Like the fit styling and the hard wearing and protective features.
