Bull-it SR6 Straight Jeans

I felt the need to update my pant gear for daily riding. After deciding on riding jeans over chaps, I researched several pairs with the hope of finding a protective pant that could be worn in everyday and work settings without sacrificing either function or style. When I saw the video for these and heard about the "Levi's" inspired design, they really caught my eye. I'm 5'9" and weigh around 190 lbs with a muscular build. Normally, I wear a 32-33x30 jean in Levi's, and the 34x30 fits great. Now, even though it's not the slim fit, they are slim fitting on me with the added layers under the covec material. If I get the knee protectors, I don't know if I'd have the room to fit them and stay comfortable. But, I do love the look as they do look stylish even with the added weight and material. I'm glad I went with the oil skin because of the plain black pockets in the back without the logo stitching. I'm sure these pants will offer great abrasion resistance and warmth in colder temp, however, I don't see them being very breathable in warmer temps. We'll see how this summer goes. I recommend these jeans, and the sizing chart is accurate.

Bull-it SR6 straight jeans in vintage, 2017. I am 6' 1", 205 lbs., measure 38" at waist with tape. I buy my Wrangler, 36W/32L, brand jeans at Wal-Mart. So, I ordered these in the same size and hoped they would fit?

Received these yesterday, and they fit exactly like my regular jeans. Perfect! Feel AND look AND wear great. I didn't rate protection/durability yet as time will tell. Give them a try if you like wearing jeans. No one will know they are special equipment. Have not received the protectors yet.

I purchased the 2017 Bull-It SR6 Straights after returning a pair of Rev'It Lombard 2s due to the strange fit. I've been riding in them for a couple of months, and recently added the Bull-It protectors in the knees and hips. For reference, I am 6', 185lbs and wear a 32/32 jean. I ordered the SR6 in size 32.

Pros:

These fit like my Levi's 514s. Even with the armor in there's nothing sticking out screaming "motorcycle jeans". They're comfortable, and I have no problem wearing them all day around the house or the office. The hem is a little longer than a standard 32" inseam, which means they don't ride up on your boots in the riding position. When standing, they will stack a bit.

The denim feels like - get this - regular denim, i.e. not stiff or heavy like the Cordura blends in other riding jeans. The mesh liner is soft - feels almost like a pair of flannel lined jeans. Because they're lined, these jeans weigh more than a pair of Levi's, but not so much that you need a pair of suspenders holding them up.

If you buy the additional armor (you need 2 sets to get armor for the hips and knees): the hip armor is completely unobtrusive, and while you can tell the knee armor is there when walking around it's not annoying or bothersome. When sitting, the knee armor stays in the right spot to protect your knee in the riding position, which was not the case with other riding pants I've owned.

Cons:

These jeans don't breathe well. I'm comfortable in them up to the low 80s F, but beyond that it gets sweaty.

Buying armor for hips and knees tacks on almost another C-note to the cost. I rated the SR6s themselves a 5/5 bang for the buck, but 4/5 if you buy the armor to go with them.

About the armor: because it's so soft and flexible, the knee armor may fold up in the pocket and require some finessing to lay flat. This only happens when you initially put the jeans on. Once you're wearing them, everything stays put. No problems with the hip protectors.

Minor nitpick: the decorative stitching across the back pockets is kinda tacky.

Conclusion: great riding jeans for spring/early summer/fall depending on your climate. You can wear these all day at work or going out and no one will be the wiser that they're protective gear, even with the armor in. They are warmer than regular jeans, so keep that in mind if you're looking for something to wear for summer riding.

These are my first riding jeans, or riding pants of any kind, but I'm comfortable saying these are some nice jeans.

I normally wear 32"x32" or 33"x32" in jeans. I ordered the 32"x32" (or 32R) SR6 Straight jeans, and they fit fine. They felt a little tight in the legs at first, but I stopped noticing that after wearing them a few times. They do fit better if I pull them up about 1/2-1" higher than normal jeans.

The leg opening is a little smaller than I expected. They fit over my riding shoes, but I'm not sure if they will fit over my heavier leather boots.

I've ridden in them in temperatures up to the low 90s, and I didn't really notice my legs getting that hot. If you're moving, I think these are only slightly warmer than normal jeans.

Style - they look like normal jeans. I got these in the vintage color - they're a little darker and more blue than the pictures, but they might fade after a few washes anyway. They do have the bull stitching on the rear pockets, unlike the pictures, but it's not very noticeable.

I haven't added armor yet, so I can't comment on that. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, and I'd probably look to Bull-it first if I wanted to get a second pair of jeans.

These are great pants that can be warn with or without the armour. They fit true and have a great look. I wear them to work on casual Fridays and get compliments on the style. I have not had the bad luck to test the pants in a skid and hope I don't have to, but they are well made and I feel they provide protection if needed.

Took the jeans out for a 4 hour ride in the mountains this am. The fit is good- slim but not skinny. I'm 6'2" with a 33 waist. The 34 Longs fit comfortably. The other brand of armored jeans I purchased last year that were slim would not fit over my Stylmartin Legend boots. These do, but a bit snug getting over the top- but that's ok. They were a bit hot at 90 F, but almost all jeans would be anyway. Great riding pants when I consider the protection, fit, and looks.
