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 consistently praise the quality and comfort of the trousers, noting they keep them warm and dry even in cold conditions. However, the sizing seems to be consistently off, with many suggesting going up a size for the right fit. Despite some issues with water seeping in, especially in heavy rain, the overall construction and functionality, including features like knee protection and braces, receive high marks. The trousers generally complement jackets well, offering a sleek look with reliable performance for commuting and touring.
I am 6'4 with long legs, great fit and with the long leg option the armour sits just right
Very comfortable and reasonably warm especially if worn with a base layer in temperatures below 10 C. Good fastening at the ankle to go inside or outside boots. Not entirely waterproof at the seams between legs.
I bought these to go with the jacket i'd bought earlier in the year, these were out of stock elsewhere as they've brought out the new model but i wanted these, luckily Sportsbikeshop had them in stock, delivered quickly and fitted perfectly, thanks
Tested at -2C and during rain and snow. Remains dry after an hour of downpour. The included thermal layer keeps you warm. Leg length (long size) actually reaches your boots when sitting on the bike unlike some other manufacturers (i am 6'4 for reference). Cargo pockets on the thighs are very welcome as a lot of these have pockets very high up. The value for money is excellent. I would pick a size up or 2 sizes up if you are using these as overtrousers.
I got these over the Bogota trousers because their three layering system was just too cumbersome, these are nicer to put on as the waterproof layer is built in. The warm insert works ok and they are comfortable to wear. they dont come with hip padding, I purchased and added some from Alpinestars.
As a waterproof trouser these worked well on a tour of Scotland when i was using a tank bag. On a ride of 1 hour in the rain locally without a tank bag to deflect the rain I looked like I had wet myself when I finished the ride, not impressed, this is the most expensive set of waterproof trousers I have ever owned, I expected much better.
Trousers fit perfectly however 20 minutes riding in heavy(ish) rain and water started seeping through the seems.
Really pleased with these for my trip next year
I wish I had taken previous reviewers advice. I ordered a 34 waist and definitely too small. However, one call to SBS and a return label was emailed to me. Less than 72 later the replacement trousers were delivered. What brilliant service. The kit is excellent. It’s not rained yet but I’m confident they will keep me dry and comfortable. SBS are the absolute go to firm for bike kit. Thanks Team
I wanted a pant to wear Spring and Autumn and these are just right. Lightweight, waterproof and comfortable with minimum intrusion from the very thin armour. I am not a fan of velcro closing on the pockets so have modified it to press studs. I tried the jacket and ended up with them both which were a bargain at the offer price
Large was a good fit for my 33 waist, great trousers that match perfectly with the V2 Andes jacket. SBS great as always.
Great pair of trousers, not had a problem in the rain with them , kept me dry. Very comfortable and inner liner is very warm. Also has great vents for the summer.
Only thing I didn’t like was with a bigger waste size the leg length is big.
Once I lost weight I fitted the waste size with a shorter leg and they’re absolutely perfect now.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these waterproof and protective trousers but was a little disappointed that I had to pay (circa) another £18 for the hip protectors and feel these should be included in the price (which isn't cheap). I did find that they are slightly small at 4XL but managed to do them up by breathing in and contracting my belly muscles. The braces are a good addition as I can never get a belt to keep my trousers up and these trousers also zip to my Alpinestars matching jacket to provide an integrated garment. The ability to open up the leg bottoms to go over my boots is also useful and will prevent rain from running down into them. There are air vents to allow cooling but removing the thermal lining is probably enough for me when the temperatures are high. All-in-all, a good pair of motorcycle trousers for inclement weather and well recommended
I bought these trousers to match with my jacket. Its important to know that the sizes are off for the UK. I'm 13st , 32 waist abd 33 IL and needed an XL. Fantastic product for all weather. Removable lining. There very comfortable. Great for short and long Riding. Great protection throughout the trousers. Highly recommended with or without the jacket.
I’m 6’2 and wear a 32/34 waist depending on brand. I know these come up smaller from previous owned garments. I ordered the xl in these and they are a terrific fit. Definitely long enough in the leg so they don’t ride half way up your boots like others! Superb value, terrific quality and super comfortable. Defo recommend. As usual super fast delivery from SBS
Tried on in store before purchase as sizing always a problem depending on make. Bought jacket in large but trousers in medium as large too big. Medium is a bit snug so I’ll lay off the pies for a while, but still a good fit. Bought kit based on other people’s reviews but yet to put to the test.
Great jeans. soft padding on the knees is good for the long distance stuff. easliy goes over boots. braces make it comfy and hold up well. Also zips into other Alpinstars jackets. no complaints,
Already have the jacket (that has never leaked).so was a no brainier. Nice and warm. Sportsbikeshop had all sizes in stock to try too, top shop !!!
Bought these for a tour of Scotland. Comfortable, great fit (Go up a size) but most importantly they are 100% waterproof. The good old Scottish weather gave them a right good test. Would highly recommend
