I just got these in Feb. 2011 and I've already logged over 100 miles with them on in 35-40 degree weather here in the snow belt. Wearing only a pair of medium weight long underwear underneath and body armour shorts, these pants kept me reasonably warm. With a better quality pair of long underwear, I expect that they would be even warmer. My only semi-negative comment is this: I usually wear a 36" waist in all my jeans (6'1" 210) and casual pants, so I followed the reccomendations and ordered the 38" waist overpants. Maybe they will loosen up with time, but wearing these leathers over a pair of jeans was very restrictive with regards to leg/knee movement. I ride a sport-tourning bike, and I hate feeling constrained by what I wear. After my initial field test, I seriously doubt I will ever need to wear these over jeans for warmth. I loved the fact that the longer inseam allowed me to trim them off just above the last snap allowing them to flare slightly over my Vega touring boots and the elastic waist inserts prevent any gapping in the waist. This is my second Exelement clothing purchase from Leather Up, and I have been totally happy with the "bang for my buck" regarding both items.

Been trying to find chaps to fit my thighs and 24" thighs ffor a 32' waist is not available in most. I bumped up to t a 36 in these pants and cut off about 4" of length and they fit great. I can wear a belt to walk around in them, but I just use them during the ride so that's not an issue.

Used them on a 29 degree morning for my 18 minute ride to work (90% highway @ 70MPH). They worked great for the first 15 minutes to keep the chill out, but that was when it worked it's way through. I believe @ 40 degrees, I could ride for a couple of hours in these without issue.

Great and super fast service, the overpants are just what I was looking for, the leather is good, not the super quality but for the price, it is the best money can buy, they fit perfect if you follow the tips givin on how to order. The tracking system is pretty neat, wish Harley would come up with something similar on the pant part, the only leather overpants they have are way to expensive, will see how long the leather last, for now I just love them, easy to put on and remove, just put a pair pants underneath and bingo.

These are great, especially for the price. They are very basic leather pants, no armor unfortunately, but I plan to add that myself. Leather seems like good heavy quality. Love that they are easy on/off over my boots.

I was looking for ANYTHING that would fit me properly, as I am 6'5" and very long legged. Uncut, these are just long enough. An inch shorter and they would be too short.

I wear 34x34 jeans and ordered a 36. They are snug around the legs (with slim jeans on), but I am very skinny too. Big dudes might find them too tight, so consider that when ordering. The waist is just fine, as it sits above my jeans waist anyway when riding.

Overall great deal!

Pay attention to the thigh measurement. I wear a 36 pant so I ordered a 38. When they arrived I tried them on and my wife asked me if I was trying out for the lead singer of a hair band- too tight. So I exchanged them for a 40, one inch more room in the thigh. The pants just arrived today, and they fit perfectly in the thigh. Im 5'10" and weigh 200 pounds on an athletic frame. Now I just need to hem up the legs and get some suspenders.

Very nice pants, especially for the price . . .Nicely made, supple and thick enough . . .I wear 34 ordered 36 . . . Just right without jeans underneath but too tight with mainly because of the seating position on my bike requiring more bend in the knees.. Cruiser position would have worked just right . . .I ended up returning and purchasing more expensive River Road leather pants that are cut a little larger and have knee expansion section and a perfect match my jacket.
