Great gear!
28 Aug 2025 by Michael
Good quality and fit. Feels comfortable to wear under my daily clothing. Ventalation is good on a hot day and the ankle loops prevent any riding up of the pants riding up.
I purchased this item along with the protective shirt, which I also recommend. 10/10

Comfortable and descreet

I'm 6'4" and these leggings fit perfectly. Protection is well-positioned and they're very comfortable. I rode in them under my regular jeans for 7 hours in 20-24°C weather with some sun—no sweating, no cold spots. Perfect performance.

Game changer! Light as a feather, plenty of airflo

Awesome product. Ideal for layering. Incredibly light, feels airy and cool even on 30 degree days. Comfy - especially at the back of the knees without any pinching. Ideal for ADV or green lane riders (as well as road) as you can wear these as a base layer for abrasion resistance for the road sections then add MX armour for the green lanes. Add wet gear for rain. Perfect.

The leggings are comfortable and feel secure, I like that they have the AAA rating! My one thing I would change is that there are no loops to secure the Bowtex top to the leggings

Brought these as extra protection as I brought a pair of Merlin kevlar waterproof jeans and wanted a little extra protection combined with the two I feel I did fall off these would work very well and fit well and would give me the protection leathers would would highly recommend these padding feels good on knees and hips

A revolution in biking safety wear and comfort on

I’ve just returned from a motorcycle tour through the Picos and Pyrenees mountains, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating such an outstanding product.
The weather ranged from cold and wet in the UK to over 30°C in Spain, and my Bowtex leggings performed flawlessly throughout. In the chilly mountain passes, I wore them comfortably under two-layer touring trousers. In the heat, they worked just as well under jeans—offering both protection and comfort without overheating.
What truly stood out was the versatility and peace of mind they provided. It was reassuring to know I was AAA-protected, no matter what I was wearing over them. My fellow bikers on the tour were genuinely impressed, and I’ve been recommending your gear without hesitation.
Comfortable, adaptable, and safe—your leggings are worth every penny. Thank you for an exceptional product that truly enhances the riding experience.
