The trousers offer great comfort and quality, and adjustments at the waist and ankle enhance the fit.

Fantastic!
29 Oct 2025 by Will
Fit true to size, adjustable in the right places, and the removable thermal liner is a nice touch and keeps you warm. The trousers feel protective, and when zipped to an RST jacket, the whole piece is really nice. I swapped out the armour for CE 2, and that was a pretty easy process. The trousers work well either over or under a boot.

Best RST textile trousers
18 Oct 2025 by Phill
Good fit, comfortable enough for a 500 mile trip only couple of days breaking in period.
Warm, not had enough rain yet to say if any good for heavy rainfall.

Feel very protective.
10 Oct 2025 by Anonymous
I would have rated five stars as they fit true to size and make you feel well protected from not just a potential slide but also the whether. They are warm and repell rain quite well. However I have worn them every day for nearly 2 weeks and they still aren't flexible in the knees. It feels like my knees are being squished everytime im in a seated position which is every second I spend on a bike. They are definitely better than day one but are taking a while to become comfortable.

Got these for my son. They arrived on time and fitted him perfect. He has worn them a few times and say they are very warm. Hasn't worn them in the rain yet so can't comment on that.

Simple, AA-rated and no clown jokes!
05 Jul 2025 by TheNoddingBiker
So many textiles are cut like "clown trousers", but these are quite flattering and not as tapered as the picture makes out. True to size (these in 34 like my off-bike jeans) and very warm with the thermal liner in (waterproof liner is fixed-in). The ankle-cuffs flare-out so will take my Adventure-X boots nicely.
Great for a commute, winter-ride or when rain is expected. Only thing missing is a simple vent flap/zip.

Great for winter riding with lining in, other times more practical with lining out. Sorted.

Larger than expected
27 May 2025 by Matthew
Went for the 34R which is my usual size but the leg long was way to long but Sportsbikeshot replaced them for me with the short leg length which were perfect. Very comfortable and warm trousers and great quality as usual from RST.

Great Value Trousers
07 Apr 2025 by Brian
A cracking pair of trousers at a good price, always with excellent service from Sportsbikeshop. For anyone reading, please expect the trousers to larger than their stated size, both waist and length. I would normally take a 34R but opted for the 32S based on previous experience. I don't like bike gear that feels loose, so the size I bought fits perfectly.

Great jeans
05 Apr 2025 by Dave S
I ordered these online in size XL, which is my normal size. They were delivered really quickly, as always. However, they were nowhere near big enough so decided to return them to the Boston store in person. The changed them without question in a matter of minutes, now i have XXL which fit like a glove, really warm and very comfortable.
Great value for money, and SBS on point again.

Questions and Answers
Are these capable of being zipped to an endurance jacket. Thanks
February 28, 2023Providing the jacket is RST also, and has a full connection zip as these trousers to, then you can connect them together no trouble at all.
Hi I've received my order...but the legs seem very long ...is there anything on the labels indicating whether the are Long, Regular or Short ...I'll be sending them back but need to know what length these are, I did order Regular but .....thank you
February 12, 2023The size guide can be found on the product page itself, in the description however the lengths are as follows; Short - 30inch Regular - 32inch Long - 34inch
Hi do these have zip bottoms or velcro around ankle
February 9, 2023These trousers have both a zip and velcro around the ankles.
