Overall I'm very impressed with these leathers as one of the more affordable pairs out there. I'm a UK size 8-10 and so being inbetween sizes is always difficult. I opted for a ten knowing they would be abit big around the waist but that they would fit better in the legs and glutes. This was not a problem because the trousers have adjustable velcro waist bands to tighten up which help them fit better. The knee padding is great and there is some hip protection. The leather is soft, and very comfortable on, i've worn these for around 5 hours straight without any issues. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, like most other leather trousers, they are quite low cut, meaning that they sit on the hips which can sometimes be abit uncomfortable when leaning forward on a sports bike for a long time and personally I like my trousers more high waisted. But overall I am happy with these trousers.
