Advice & Guides 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...
Customers praise RST leather trousers for their comfort, fit, and value. They notably appreciate the absence of knee sliders, making them suitable for touring and road use. Many customers highlight the protective features, including well-placed armor and AAA abrasion rating. Several note the necessity to size down for a better fit, with some finding the waist measurement larger than standard sizing. A minor critique includes tightness around calves, while others mention the quality stitching. Customers consistently express satisfaction with their purchase.
Great quality. Very comfortable. Works with S-1 Jacket.
Very comfortable and ventilated
I normally wear a 36" in trousers / jeans, so went to SBS and tried on a pair of 36" RST Tour1 (R) and all appeared OK, even sat on the mock up bike frame in the shop to be sure, felt good so bought them.
When I got home and tried them on again the better half said they looked "baggy" in the back and they did appear to feel loose.
So returned to SBS with her to try on a 34" R which fitted like a made to measure fit and his perfect on the bike! (I'm baffled too)
SBS did the exchange with no problems, as they always do. Thank you SBS Reading Team
These are really good quality leather jeans. Material is reassuringly tight but flexible and the included knee and hip armour is a bonus. All zips and closures are strong. Fit is good although slightly tight around the calves. Would definitely recommend and excellent service from SBS as always.
I like the way these trousers , curve around the legs , fit on the hips and after a small time riding the bike , they suddenly 'gave in' and started to mould to my shape .
The construction of the trousers are spot on and considering the price are very well made with fine stitching all round ...Love the way the knee armour feels so integral to the design .
The flexibility of the extra stretch material built in to the design is very useful and they do feel easier to put on and take off unlike others I have had over the years.
The quality of the leather seems to be high grade with the optional extra of using the zip to adhere to a RST leather jacket if wanted .
Overall a great purchase especially now with the reduction in price .
Nice trousers, quality leather and heavy but reassuringly so. Fit is different so if you can try on in a store if possible for the best fit.
After spending 2 hours at SBS in Harlow, both the trousers and jacket were the most comfortable and the added bonus they were the best priced, great on the bike as well although the first ride was in cold weather, but I can confirm the preforations work a bit too well with cold weather!
Really like these trousers, comfortable at first then get even better after some rides out.
Probably worth trying on or sizing down, I’m normally a 30 waist but 28 in these.
Knee armour is level 1, not as thin as the level 1 D3O in my kevlar jeans but possibly more comfortable to wear I think? The hip protection is actually level 2 which was a pleasant surprise as not noted in the details.
Light comfortable fits just right
Upgraded to leathers for less slippage riding pillion. Love these RST because they aren’t too ostentatious in design as well as being extremely comfortable.
For the price point the quality appears to be good, others a more comfortable solution for touring. I would say waist is half a size smaller than M&S sizing so if you are a tight fit in you M&S trousers consider going a size up. Leg length I found generous.
I am a big fan of RST products- they offer the right balance of safety,value and quality.I am a 34 waist all day long but I read the reviews and ordered a 32 short which was spot on.Takes a week or so of wearing to break in (like anything leather) and it’s nice to find something that’s for touring and real world riding rather than knee sliders and speed humps.They sit right on the waistband so consider pairing with a jacket that has 360 zip or Oxford braces to avoid any gaps or draughts.
This is my first pair of leather motorcycle pants and I really like them. The quality is great and they fit me very well. I'm a size 34 inch waist and went with a size 32/EU 52 which fit very well, except the waist is a bit loose, but the bum and legs fit great. I bought a zip on belt to cinch them tighter. I've been riding in them for 2 weeks now and they have softened up a bit as well. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants the protection of leather pants. If you can try them on for size first then that would be ideal. I ended up buying 2 sizes (32, 34) and ended up returning the 34 as they were too big. Luckily the return policy at SportsBikeShop is good and allows for easy returns.
Feel good to wear with aaa protection excellent price. I needed to have a size smaller as they were big on me, one minor disadvantage is only one pocket but apart from that they are brilliant.
Excellent fit
Good standard protection and smart looking. Fit is a little large. I ordered a 40 inch and I’m probably a 39inch. When walking they feel a bit big but nothing unmanageable but on the bike they feel great. Get a lot of decent braces to go with them.
Really comfortable trousers that are reassuringly robust. Can get quite warm but perforations help keep this to a minimum. Great to be able to zip them into my RST jacket too.
First pair of leathers. Very happy with fit and they are very comfy
