Very comfortable 
05 May 2026 by Simon P
Theses are great, they look great and are very comfortable, I like the fact I can wear them all day and not hot, can put them on in the morning for ride and wear them walking around and don't look out of place.

Best pair of motorcyle jeans EVER!
02 May 2026 by Dee
I have been looking for a good pair of riding jeans for a somentime now and have quite few but I wanted something that was comfortable while riding yet offers a good protection. So I decided to give those a go and I have to say no regrets at all. Yes they are pricey but certainly worth every penny. Trust me go and get one.

Comfortable & relatively waterproof
29 Apr 2026 by Steve
I've had the black for some time now & bought the camo as a back up but I love the look so much they're now my main. Really comfortable, including the knee armour. I probably could have gone a size down but I'm not getting any slimmer - the length was maybe too much, the hip armour seems a bit low down (need to check if adjustable).
Mostly waterproof (if you wash them, wait until dry then iron to re-waterproof), except the groin - not sure if it's my riding position (cruiser with mid-controls) but when it's lashing down, I've twice had a pool start in the groin area...lovely.
Quite warm for walking around (they're thicker than they look, what with the lining). Fine when riding though & will do for temperatures 8° and up. Need thermals below 8°.
Storage is brilliant - as well as usual combat trousers pockets, there's a handy zipper pocket on the left for house keys & lighter. So seven pockets in all - back and lower side with poppers.
Love them.

Great Looking Trousers
13 Apr 2026 by Mike B
Loved the look of these when on. Tempted to wear them when I'm not riding! Feel very substantial which was what I was looking for Bought a 34 waist and I'd say they were a fairly large 34. But VERY comfortable. Comfortable, look brilliant and AAA rated. Yes they're pricey, but I'd say worth the money. Again excellent customer service from Sally at SBS. Very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Will be shopping there again when I need the next thing!

Feels great
11 Nov 2025 by Karl
Really comfortable. Not too baggy like other riding trousers. Fit is tight and feels good sitting on the bike. Would recommend going down a size as I have to wear a belt after picking my actual size lol but still good

Trusty trousers!
03 Sep 2025 by Graeme C
Bought my first pair of John Doe cargo jeans, I am certainly not disappointed! They're great! comfortable, heavy duty quality and fit really well, which I normally struggle with as I'm on the shorter side. I will be buying another set in the near future.

Wow - Excellent quality and perfect fit
27 Aug 2025 by Lee Y
These were a plan B from my original John Doe choice and man am I glad. From the fitment advice from the team to the sooper fast delivery the care was slick and top notch.
The trousers are well worth the price tag, the fitment as stated and the quality and colour are stunning. I’ll be wearing these to work throughout autumn as they are super comfortable and light in comparison to other similar trousers I have.
Great product and amazing service as always - thank you all at Sportsbikeshop - will be back

These are hands down the best pair of motorcycle jeans I’ve had! Size is absolutely bang on, so comfortable and light you can easily wear them all day. Adjustable knee protection is brilliant. Brilliant quality and once again SportsBikeShop was a pleasure to deal with as always!

Great Trousers

Love these trousers. Expensive, yes, but you get what you pay for. Comfortable on and off the bike, and stylish enough to wear all day in a "relaxed but professional" office!
I'll be getting another pair for sure!
