Stephen W Leominster,  MA Fit Great CHEAP zippers These pants fit great! I'm 6'3 200 lbs and the large is actually long enough, and there’s enough room for a pair of jeans under. The one thing I'm not happy about are the zippers, they get stuck easily and one pocket zipper is already broken and the other is not far behind. I expect better quality for $170.00 plus. The venting is good, yet their warm enough for a 40 degree morning. Overall, I really like the pants but they should have used better quality zippers.

David Collegeville,  PA Good Riding Pant I bought these and have ridden over 1,000 miles so far using them. Nice pants overall. The zip off piece definitely helps provide additional ventilation. These pants are a bit warm in the summer months, but not to the point where I wouldn't wear them. I am a 34 waist, 32 length and bought Large - fit is good. I wear them over dress pants commuting to work. With jeans under them and the liner in they are snug. I don't think the liner is breathable - feel a little damp when riding with the liner in, but don't use it that much. Zip to my Joe Rocket jacket which is nice.

Jovinski Jax,  FL Great Pants so far Fit is a little off, I am a solid 42 waist, so I bought the 2X-L and they are way too large. Even when wearing them as overpants, they are hard to keep up, but otherwise, they are great. The zip off cover on the legs that goes around the back bring in great air. But since they are not mesh elsewhere, they are hot. The rain/warmth liner is heavy and I am sure it will do great for winter. The "armor" seems a little thin, but I think they are pretty good.

D. Ryan Newnan,  GA Alter Ego pants This is my second pair of JR Alter Ego pants. I purchased my first pair not realizing the inseam would be rather short. My inseam is approximately 32”, and the pant would ride up over my JR Meteor boots. So I bought the Large/Long and these are right on. The weather protection is unmatched. For hot days, obviously the lining comes out, and the thighs and legs can be vented. These pants are meant for weather protection, not protection from falling off your bike. The poly pads are meant to provide rash protection. Overall, a good riding pant for the money.

Marcin Lajdecki APO,  AE Go with the weather I have purchased the Alter Ego Jacket and I have had days that area that my jacket covered stayed dry and everything else was wet. These pants go very well with the jacket and even zipper together in the back to almost make a one peace. The system together keeps me cool in the warm weather, warm in the cooler weather, and dry when the wet stuff comes down. If the pants opened to a little more mesh material to stay a little cooler it would be nice. Other than that a great pant and even a better set when teamed with the jacket.

David Buttram Ventura,  CA nice pants I agree with Mike Nix concerning fit. I'm a 34 waist as well and they're a little loose...have to cinch the waist adjustment straps almost all the way tight but at least you have that option. Everything else is awesome. With the liner in they're very warm and will keep you super dry. With liner out they're great down into the low 60's temp wise. Very comfortable. They go great with the Rasp jacket too.

Mark Brattleboro,  VT Joe Rocket strikes again I bought my first Joe Rocket jacket only because it was on the discount rack at my dealer. Since then, I've come back to JR for almost every gear upgrade I've needed. I've been happy with the durability, style, fit and features on two jackets and a pair of gloves so far, and these pants don't disappoint me either. Like most Rocket gear, they're incredibly versatile. They're comfortable and fit well in any combination of rain liner in or out, vent panels on or off or whether or not I'm wearing pants underneath. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would buy them again in a heartbeat. I rated the durability a 4 only because I haven't really had them long enough to test that category, but I feel like they've already paid for themselves in functionality in just the past month of use.

Micheal Nix sacramento,  CA Alterego Pants The only problem I’ve had with these pants is on the fit. I wear 34 waist pants. These run a lot bigger, little modification and there right on point. I would suggest buying a smaller size. Also I wish they would put in a couple more pockets. They are great pants though warm they keep you totally dry and I’ve been in some pour downs. I would recommend buying them to anyone who rides in cold weather. Don’t know about the summer yet hopefully the vents work.

Andrew Dalisa Livermore,  CA Alter Ego Pants I am very happy with the pants. I ware them as over pants and they fit great. I would say they are true to size. I am 6'4" so I did buy the tall length version and they are still a little short when I am riding my motorcycle (they look long enough when I am standing).
