Perfect fit & very comfortable

These leggings are the perfect addition to my biker wardrobe.
Perfect fit, super comfortable and the armour is hardly noticeable, it sits perfectly in the correct location and doesn't move around.
Should've bought these ages ago.. can now wear with my favourite combat trousers.
Also nice n warm in colder conditions.

Good fit and secure

Purchased to put under not so high safety clothing but want to wear. Good feeling. Tiny bit tight but that does not warrant a size bigger. Keeps as well warmer during colder days.

Alternative protection

Pretty decent in terms of convenience. I have tried the Bowtex out with jeans, chinos and even jogging pants. I am a 33 inch waist and 31 inch inside leg and the large size fits well. The knee and hip protectors stay in place and are comfortable. Recommended kit.
