Hey BMW i know but I just got myself a pair of these trousers for �115

After a week of M1 miles I have to say I love them.


They look good on and off the bike they a mega comfy and best of all they have great knee protection the pads wrap around your knee cap and extend down your shin.

They also feature hip pads.

Obviously they are not waterproof but they can be proofed with nikwax etc

They are just what I was after although I wanted draggins when I tried them they were scary thin and offered no protection from impacts plus they were �100 so there was no question of what to go for.

Would recomend these pants for any riding from off road to scratching.

Will use them on an upcoming tour to France as my only trousers.

They certainly look good but they're only 50% cordua 50% cotton so I'm not sure I'd trust them personaly for longer motorway jaunts for abrasion resistance. For local commuting they do look pretty good, not too motorcycle trouser like.

Just wish I could find some motorcycle trousers that have armor, gore-tex and are smart enough you could wear them with a shirt/tie

I like those, very similar to my old HG Taureg which no longer come in black or grey.

I've been looking for some lightweight replacements now the crutch and zips have completely gone.

Where did you get them for that price stuxtttr, that's way cheaper than I've seen them?

These are HG Jake II trousers, not GorTex, but they are Sheltex, I've had them for over a year now and they are ok, not had to go through a downpour yet..... But they look like 'normal' trousers, as far as you can with biking gear.

Nick.

Still not managed to see how shower proof they are but I anint complaining.

I got them from wollastons BMW Northampton, just went in and said what price will you do them for, I was lucky I guess it was 4.30pm on Sat avo and I was the last customer of the day.

They have been performing spot on in the warm weather.

Yeah they are subtle but probably pushing it to mix with shirt and tie and not look a little strange to the office. There are pants out there that would do that but most are just kevlar linned and offer no impact protection.

I should have got these ages ago just cant fault em
