RST Pro Series Paragon 5 CE Textile Jeans - Silver / Flo Red

(I'm always disappointed, when I get a wet crotch!)

This has been my first opportunity to test these in the real world conditions for which they are intended.

They were bought to replace a pair of RST Alpha 4 Textile jeans. The Alpha 4's don't have removeable linings, so can be too warm.

Unlike the Alpha 4's these let water in ... and this was after only an hour's, fairly low speed riding. Mainly around the crotch, but also on the left thigh.

(Another recent review mentions the same fault - though the reviewer is more forgiving than me.)

Something else of note - these are much harder to zip to my RST Tourmaster 2 jacket, than the Alpha 4's were. Maybe they've changed zip supplier?

The product does have some good points - but if they don't keep the rain out, they count for nothing in my book. :-(

I am 36 waist and xl is a good fit.
have not worn them in extreme conditions but comfort and quality is good. Would recommend

Very comfortable well made trouser with easily accessible front pockets, easy to get on and off too, braces are a great feature, I have a 31" leg so the regular length is a perfect fit, good protection and nice to wear on the bike, only positive things to say about them, Sports Bike 5 star service too.

I can only provide my first impressions of this product as insufficeint opportunity to determine long term performance. The jeans are well made and appear to offer good protection at the knees. Sizing, they are thankfully generous around the waste like other rst jeans I have owned. I am a fan of rst products and spb generally

There is no way of removing the absolutely massive knee pads. Bloody painful after 2 hrs riding. The jeans fit perfectly other than that.

Great to have something that actually keeps you warm. The only problem I had was the sizes are smaller than they say I'm a 34 so a (L) but they no where near fit so I got a (XL) and they fit amazing but it you go to the shop they are warm welcome and friendly I went to the shop in Leeds to change and they were happy to help. Over all these Jean's are the best I have bought yet.

What an excellent service, superb product with accurate description and next day delivery, thank you S. B. S.

I've tried quite a few different bottoms but these are amazing for the money. Comfortable and fit perfectly. So pleased.

They come with a removable thermal lining and shoulder straps. A couple of vents for warm weather riding. The knee protectors sit right. They don't fall to the shin!!

Would thoroughly recommend them to new and old riders.

The price match promise from sportsbikeshop was amazing aswell customer service was great too thanks guys

I have had these for a little over a year now, generally they are good, they leak a little in heavy rain (as with most trousers at the crotch). I recently had an issue with a knee pad which dropped inside - strangely these are not accessible without removing stitching. They are still under warranty and Sportsbike shop arranged return quickly - they were repaired and I had them back within a couple of weeks. Best thing as ever is the Sportsbikeshop customer service.

As expected, the Paragon 5 trousers are excellent. They are well made with quality materials. The braces they come with work well. The fit is true to size. Even with the thermal liner there is enough flexibility in the knees to ride my cafe racer as well as my touring bike. I also fitted the RST hip protectors.

Great . Was coming back from Brighton to Milton Keynes. It was raining all the way back. Was dry. Great product. I got that boots as well. They are great too.

I bought the RST Pro Series Paragon 5 Jeans as an all-year round replacement for my 4-year old RST Pro Series Ventilator 4 Jeans. They immediately felt comfortable, warm, well-protected and quality. The added bonus was being able to buy the jeans combined with the jacket using 0% finance from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk!
