Bull-it Guardian Straight Covec Jeans - Black

Super nice and comfy but colour dose lighten after first few washes

My need was to find a pair of safe riding trousers, that wouldn t look too out of place when worn in a casual(ish) work office environment, these had to come in a short leg.
I saw a pair of these in a local store a while ago but never got the chance to try them on. While browsing for a new helmet, I saw these were also in stock in my size. As we all know, motorcycle sizing is quite, errr, random but with the option of being able to return them easily, I took the plunge.
Quick to arrive, they feel very substantial and of good quality. The cut is good and I went for the extra short leg (due to boots and having extra short legs it appears). The UK temperature was in the 30 s C when I wore them and they were very hot at that temperature but that is rare in the UK so I am not worried about normal days. The armour is disguised very well too.
This all sounds very positive, so why only 4 stars, is it the price? No, I think they are good value, it is the fact that while they do a great job in the office, the designer decided to put a big motto on the back pocket which points them out as motorcycle gear.
Very recommended.

Wear them in office, looks smart enough and comfortable

I prefer these so much more than my Knox jeans and John Doe Pioneer jeans. I'm a bit of a chunky lad and have big thighs and these are surprisingly comfortable and flexible. I'm a 32 inch leg, but opted for the Short length version and these are literally perfect to wear to work all day, they feel like a normal pair of jeans. However, I may buy another pair in the Normal length version as when sitting on the bike the jeans do pull up higher than my ankle boots but that was to be expected.

Only thing I dislike is the armour. When compared to Knox L2 armour which has more coverage of the sensitive areas and is more comfortable, the ones provided in the Bull-it's are slightly less comfortable and protect a little less. But still a solid option and the armour inserts in the knee are adjustable in 2 positions.
