Great Pants!
I have ridden these during really hot weather and now when it is in the low 60's these pants feel great. The padding is great and they fit really well. They fit perfectly and they feel very sturdy.

Great Pants!!
I ordered these pants mainly for adventure/touring and they are great! They are fairly warm in cool weather (would not recommend anything below 50) and with the zip out vents in the thighs, very cool in warm weather. The fit is a bit long for just walking around, but once seated on the bike they are the perfect length with ample armor where it is needed. I just got back from an 1800 mile trip wearing these pants and was comfortable the whole time. Great choice for someone who is looking for a little more protection than jeans, without the extra bulk of over pants.

nice pants - wish they came in short sizes
these pants are comfy (not clammy) and are adequately ventilated when riding. when not in motion the pants are a little warmer than jeans. i would say that past the low 80's these pants start to be a tad warm when just walking around. solid pants though. armour fits where it's supposed to. i wish they made these in short sizes. also, i'm not a fan of the waist fitting mechanism. it's a cheap little plastic buckle that's hard to adjust and for me i have to latch them right where a belt loop is so it's cumbersome. also since the belt is sewn to the front of the pant the rear waist doesn't fit as snuggly as it could. i think something with a little elastic that pulled throughout the entire waistline would be better. however, i don't want to discourage anyone too much. the comfort, style, price, versatility, and breathability overcompensate for the belt complaint and i give the pants high marks.

Joe Rocket - Atomic Pants....no fallout
I bought the Atomic pants based on reviews and price. I'm a first-time rider with a Honda Rebel. We've already been having upper 80-degree days and the pants breathe very well. There are two panels on the thighs that zip out. Like some of the reviews said, I wish there were two extra velcro straps to help keep the knee armor at the knee when you're standing...but there are straps at the calf area that help. I'd definitely get them again.

A+ for Joe Rocket
I bought these pants with the Joe Rocket "Fuel" Jacket, not a perfect color match but close (all the jackets fault) Extremely breathable, knee pads are more directly on top of your knee than on the side. I'm 6'3", bought the XL and the waist fits great but the length is a bit short when riding for me. Rode around for about an hour in the mid day sun and felt like wearing jeans, very comfortable. Tight pockets, nice tear away thigh vents too. Belt may not last long, buckle looks flimsy but overall can’t beat it for the look, feel, and safety...for the price.

nice pants
I’m a novice tour rider, I own a Buell and these pants are sweet, they breathe well, nice protection, dual need pad positioning is helpful. They are not super tight like leather and they are a good fit in the riding position. The knee pads tend to drift in the pant when you walk, but I bought to ride in,,, not to go to the mall in!

Overall the pants are a great value for the price! Fit is spot on, and they are a good looking pair of pants. The adjustments in the waist work perfectly. The Velcro straps at the bottom also work well to keep the air from going up the pant (although they are fine even without adjusting). I have been wearing them in 45 degree weather and they keep you quite warm. Curious to see how the vents work in the hot Cali summers? The only thing that is a bit off is the knee pads when you are walking in the pants (they hang a bit low) but they are in the perfect position when riding. I recommend buying these pants if you are thinking about doing so, no regrets here!

Joe's Atomic Pants
These are an excellent pair of pants for an excellent price. I get so many compliments including "you look like a professional," and "you look like a superhero." I love the material, the protection, and the look of these pants. The knee protection sits in the right place when riding. The hip and tail bone protector gives me a better sense of security. The textile material seems very strong and secure as well.

Comfortable Pants
I really like these pants. They are comfortable, have lots of ways to adjust, and they have armor in the right places. One feature I really like is the removable vent panels on the thighs. They make a real difference on warm days.

Atomic pants
Fit great. The knee armor is great and the foam pads in the hips and over the tailbone seem to be really well placed. Built in cinch belt is awesome and ensured a good fit. Zip out knee panels ensures a good versatility/ ventilation although I am not sure about the waterproofing around the zippers. I think that in heavy rain staying dry may be an issue. Hip pockets are a bit small and have no zippers so they are not really great for carrying a wallet. Overall they are a pretty good product and worth the price.

Great pair of pants. Especially while sitting on the bike, just wish I had some hips to help hold them up when walking.

Joe Rocket Atomic Textile Pants
It was near impossible to find a review about these pants, so I went ahead and took a chance. Glad that I did. These pants are very nice hot to cool weather gear. The knee armor is CE rated and has 2 pouches for higher or lower positions. The hip and seat pads are not CE rated, but are nice and thick none the less. These pants fit a little tight; I bought a large, even though I wear size 34 jeans normally. They are a lil snug, so I would recommend buying a size up for sure. The length is perfect for me (I wear a 32). The back of the legs have velcro for tightening them up, but they didn't seem to flap in the breeze even at high speeds. Overall, great protection for a reasonable
