These are my second pair of Klim pants, and probably my last. I’ve worn them for about 1000 miles. The only feature that makes them motorcycle specific are the armor pockets, otherwise they’re just funny looking, slightly heavy pants.Pros: The Ghost armor is very thin and comfortable.Cons: I don’t think they’d hold up particularly well in a slide. There are many areas with single row stitching.The knee pad area of the pants are very loose with no adjustment, so the pads will never stay where you would need them to be in a crash.The comfortable Ghost armor is comfortable because it’s so thin it would probably be useless in a crash.There are only 2 vents, on the sides of the legs.The pants have zero stretch panels, which is my biggest issue with them. If you’re riding a bike with a wide seat or a tall bike like an adventure bike the lack of stretch in the inseam/crotch area makes it very difficult to fully stretch your legs to reach the ground. Basically the pants don’t allow you to spread your legs wide when you’re on a bike seat, they bind. I went up one waist size to give myself more lateral stretchability, but it only helped a little.No waist adjusters, you’ll need to wear a belt.Maybe the 800 dollar Klim gear is better made, but I’m not going to take that chance. My recommendation, buy Rev’It. I also own 2 of their pants in this same price range and they’re more comfortable and made better. Like they were actually tested by someone sitting on a motorcycle.

Did a ride in fall and pants were great! Not too hot and kept me warm at elevation. Not much padding, so shin guards are good to have if doing anything where you may need them.
