So I've not taken a slide in these things yet, but a ride after delivery confirms they're very comfortable.

They do not have the same feeling as raw denim, it's almost like a pre-distressed pair as far as softness goes.

Fit is precisely like a Levi's 501. I wear a 36/32 in 501, as a 5'10 178 pound guy. My waist measurement is 33, but I also wear a concealed carry pistol holster that adds an inch or two, so I just size up to 36 for comfort's sake. The difference in fit between the Reax and the Levi's (because I debated buying these due to lack of reviews) is nothing to worry about, if the 501's fit then the Reax 215 will fit true to size.

Style is good, only one of my friends has noticed that the jeans looked a little different than my regular pair, and only because the raw denim Reax have black/blue stitching that essentially makes them look murdered out. I consider that a downside, preferring the look of the yellow/gold stitching Levi's uses but I believe the indigo version of the Reax might have it and it's purely a style thing anyway.

The pants are not excessively bulky, the extra layers don't show when sitting, and on a bike they fit perfectly at my knees with room to spare for someone up to maybe 6'00" with the 32 inseam.

The coin pocket is larger than a pair of 501's, the front pockets are noticeably smaller, though not to the extent of some fashion jeans as I can solidly fit my phone and a keybar in one pocket and a backup charger and a knife in the other. The pockets in the rear are tighter but still the same size, being made of a slightly stretchier fabric than the rest of these pants.

Overall, I'm happy with them. $200 is more than I'm comfortable spending on any regular pair but barring a slide these are solid everyday jeans I'll be wearing until full summer hits and I turn into a north carolina squid.

Called Revzilla and they recommended the Rokker D30 armor for inside pockets, they fit great, worth the price. Jeans are super stylish, better than pictured, getting ready to wash for first time, Hope they shrink a little to fit like regular jeans. They already do, but just more for me. Overall, hard to rate protection, but they are light, feel like regular jeans, but you feel protected by the jeans. Love em!

Great pant but needed a longer cut option. Relatively comfortable walking around with them and fit well sitting on the bike. Feels high quality with expected protection in a higher end riding jean. Being 6'2" was an issue for the 32" inseam riding up above my boots. went with the Rokker originals in 36x34 that worked out well (similar fit). Would've definitely kept these if they were long enough.

Stitching is substandard, as it is already unraveling at the left pocket where it meets the outside let seam. Been washed once. Will look for another product next time. Nice gear, too bad about the poor workmanship.

These seem a little spendy but they are really top notch quality so I feel they are worth the money. Getting the knee armor in the right place is a little tricky, but with the velcro in the pants it gives you plenty of adjustment. Once you figure out where they need to go it is easier the next time. These jeans look really good and no one can tell they are riding jeans, which is something I like. The length was also good for me, I am 5' 10" and I wear a size 34. The length over the boot is riding position is perfect. I would recommend these without hesitation!

I'm really impressed by the styling of these jeans for the price point. They cost as much as my bull it jeans but look way better, I know they are made by rokker for reax. For me they fit little small, I ordered a 34 and they fit like a 33. The fit overall is very nice despite the waist being a bit small. my icon D3O hip armor fit it perfectly and is not very noticeable. it's a bit cold right now so I can't really say how hot they run, but they breathe pretty decent for aramid fiber lined jeans.
