If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...

These trousers are very well made from heavy material and feel like a premium product. I compared these to other cheaper versions using 'try before you buy' and these felt the best by far and I bought them even though they were the most expensive. I have ridden in them a few times now and they are very comfortable. I'm a 34" waist and the fit is excellent - no need for a belt or braces. The zipped vents work well and helped with keeping cool during the recent hot weather. I now prefer wearing these to my leather trousers.
My second Trilobite purchase and I see they are getting better and better.
These particular pants are even more solid, offers almost 360 degree protection, armor that comes with it are so much better, than one that came with Parado 661, now I don't have to buy extra piece of d3o. It also allows you to add shin protectors, and the if you are willing, you can add longer hips protector. Knee pockets are adjustable. These pants have high waist and stretch panels provide excellent cover.
Visually they are very good to me. The sizing is ideal, I'm 184 cm high, usually order 38/32 and fits me perfectly, and so I did the same for these pants and they came exactly what I expected.
The only downside I found so far is it has less breathability, sure, opening panels help, for extremely hot summer days, I don't think this will work unless you are on highway. But this sacrifice is for better protection.
I feel comfortable in these pants in temperature +-25 degrees, never tested in cold days tho.
