As a motorcycle riding instructor, I need light coloured, armoured gear, during the heat of summer, for work and play. Products that stand up well...to that end I have been searching for a pair of well made, mesh summer riding pants, that won't break the bank...and eventually found Wardler!!
My initial observation on opening and removing the pants from the package...
*These pants have a good weight to them.
*The build quality and finish is excellent.
*They have large area mesh ventilation both front and back.
*They are as specified by Wardler.
*The communication, purchasing and delivery process was so easy.
**It's February and living in the Niagara Falls region of Canada, our riding season is still several weeks away, so I'm unable to give any further information regarding ventilation while riding but feel happy that my purchase will be as assigned... 🇨🇦🏍️
The pants need more rise in the back (2-3") to make them better with short jackets and easier to zip to jackets with a zip (I have Wardler and HWK jackets).
The legs could be a bit longer (2' or so), as even with 8" boots they ride up a bit too much when on the bike.
I would also have preferred at least CE1 hip pads. I ended up ordering CE2 pads to replace what is in the pants.
Otherwise, the fit was pretty true. 6 ft, 190 lbs, and I got a Large. I think if I got an XL it might have resolved my back rise and leg length issues, but then the rest of the pant body would probably be to baggy.
I wore these for the first time this weekend and must say they are very comfortable for being brand new. Can't wait until they are broken in.
I wish the small was just a tad bit smaller and it would fit perfectly but it's still a good fit and I like it!
