Barclay Aledo,  TX Mesh tec 2.0 Large tall pants fit perfect. I'm 6'3 210lbs, 36" inseam. Fits well over boots. I'm happy with them. Would recommend.

Texrider Plano,  TX Nice Pair of Pants Overall, very comfortable pants. I wear them as an overpant over shorts for the hot Texas summers, and they are pretty comfortable. A lot of my riding is in over 90 degree heat and you can wear them. Zippers work well and they have padding in the right places. Keeping the rubber side up, I don't know how they would fare in a crash, but let's just say I am confident they will be a heck of a lot better than shorts.

GT Keene,  NH Mesh Tex 2.0 - so far so good It finally got warm enough to try out these pants. They fit well though I would recommend ordering one size larger - I wear a 30' jean and the 32 pants fit snugly. They are cool at speed but I wonder how much protection there is here from road rash - hope I never find out. They seem to be well made but you will have to take your boots off to get them on. Can't comment on the durability yet.

John Russell Mount Vernon,  IN Firstgear - Mesh-Tex 2.0 Pants I purchased these riding pants to eliminate riding with jeans hoping the comfort level would be better. I do have to say that the Mesh-Tex pants are much better than jeans for the following reasons: They allow air movement through leg areas keeping me cooler during hot weather, they dry very fast when exposed to rain (not 100% water proof though), I no longer have to pack numerous pairs of jeans for a trip, they do not bunch up and become tight, Can wear with under ware only if desired which was very comfortable, Even in cooler weather I did not get cold (60 F). Cons: They do not have heat resistant panels on legs near exhaust and have melted. (I'm planning on sewing my own material on right leg area), I had to super glue boot zippers in down position as they would unzip during ride and flap around and touch exhaust (I always put my pants on before boots anyway so this didn't matter). I am very happy with these pants considering the cost. I would recommend them for the budget minded individual.

Brian Buss Edmonds,  WA First Gear Mesh-Tex 2 Pants Being on the short side I find that First Gear is my first choice for motorcycle clothing as they provide short sizes. I have yet to be disappointed in any of their products and these pants are no exception. The fit is spot on; they are very comfortable and cool in the hot weather. If I have to find fault at all it is that the two front pockets could do with larger openings as I find them tight to get my hands into. The knee pocket is very useful for ready access to money, etc. The back zip at the bottom of each leg makes donning boots much easier too. The padding at knees, hips and thighs is soft and unobtrusive. A great product.

Warren Chang Flushing,  NY Great pants -- but not really "overpants"... I love FirstGear equipment, because it comes in Tall sizes. As someone who's 6'2" tall and wears a 42L jacket and 34/34 pants, most L sizes are too short and XL sizes are too baggy on me, but FirstGear size LT fits me juuuust right! I ride to work and need to wear dress pants under the overpants (no shorts or jeans). I have a pair of Sport Tour overpants that I love, but they get hot for street riding when the weather gets to about 70F, and I wanted mesh pants for the warmer weather instead of riding without protection (I have healed road rash on my knees as a reminder as to why). With the Sport Tours that works very well, due to the leg zippers that go all the way up to the hip, but with the Mesh-Tex pants the side zippers barely reach the calf.

Roger Mc Veytown,  PA Nice Pants I have been wearing these as overpants until it warms up. They will be great pants in the summer as they let lots of air through. The pockets could be a little more thought out is the only complaint I have about them so far.

Neal Suffolk,  VA Just as good as the first ones I bought these to replace a pair of First Gear textile pants I bought in 01, there has been improvements in their looks, as well as these are the short model, so they fit me better than the original one length only model. I wear 36" waist and 29" inseam jeans, these fit perfect, the knee armor rides where it should when riding.

Stan Escondido,  CA Not just for hot weather. Great pants. I've worn these in a range of temps by wearing them over sweat pants or thermals. With a pair of synthetic thermals inside, you're warmer and way better protected than in just jeans.
