So Ugly
I really hated these jeans. Way baggier than they look in the picture. Uncomfortable with the pucks in. I sent them back, and purchased a pair of Triumphs. Sorry, just not for me. On the positive side, they are constructed very well and the color is nice.

Plan on having to spend money to move kneen pads.
These are killer nice riding jeans. Size fit is right on. I am taking mine to a seamstress to move the knee pads up 2"s.and over to the inside 1". If you throw your leg over the bike and sit normally, you still have to pull up your jeans to get them in the right place.

Good, but need improvement
While there's a lot that I like about these pants, my complaints are that the Teramid in the seat only comes forward to the outer seam, leaving my hip bone with no abrasion protection. Also, the stretch panel in the upper seat seems to me to really compromise the strength and protection in that area. Having said that, these pants are very comfortable and breathe nicely in the heat. I found them to fit me very well. I'm a 32 and they fit true to size. I'm 6'3, so the long length worked well for me, Yes, the knee pads are on your shins when you’re walking around (which I find actually works out pretty well unless you need to climb stairs) but they were in the right place when I was on the bike. They're a boot cut which leaves the bottoms flapping in the wind a bit.

Almost perfect
My only complaints are that the abrasion protection in the seat area only comes forward to the outer seam. This leaves my hips unprotected. Also, there's stretchy areas over the knees and at the top of the seat, I don't know if I'd trust that stuff to hold together very well in a slide, Other than that, I found these very comfortable, especially in hot weather, they ventilate quite well. I found the knee armor to sit pretty nicely, when I'm on the bike. It's at my shins when I'm standing, but I wasn't looking for knee protection for walking around.

Great fitting jeans but knee armor too low
Prior to buying these jeans I already had two other riding jeans but decided that I wanted knee armor for extra protection. Being slender, the other riding jeans were very baggy on me but I love the Joe Rocket since it has a slimmer fit and feel like regular jeans. My only complaint is that the knee armor is too low even when placed in the upper pocket. The armor top presses into the bottom of my kneecap when standing up straight and walking around but is at a good height when I'm sitting on my bike. Still, I gave away my other riding jeans and only wear this pair now.

Very well made and quality jeans. The pockets for the knee protectors are very low and they become shin protectors rather than knee. Additionally, there is no way to adjust them to work.

nice fit and great looks
I’ve been very happy with these pants. They are nice and durable and the knee flexibility keeps things comfortable while riding. I'm 5'9 and170lbs and the 34 short was just perfect. My only tiff is that the knee armor is too low even in the highest position.

cool looking and durable
I’ve had these jeans for about two months now and i love them. They fit true to size and are very comfortable on and off the bike. I always get compliments on them from others. The one complaint I have is the knee pad inserts (luckily you can remove them); they are just about one inch too low for my taste. There are two positions that you can place the inserts in. when mounted on a sport bike they cover the bottom portion of the knee as well as the shin. When seated on a standard motorcycle it moves down about an inch. Overall, I love them.

Good product with bad sizing options
As mentioned before, these pants are not a very great choice for shorter riders. I ordered a "short" size 32 that fit my waist just fine but had an inseam of 31.5 inches. Even though you would think that this item is "cut" or "designed" to fit properly while riding, it still way to long. The knee armor would hang at my shins and actually dig into my shins while walking around. I really wanted to like these pants, the fit, finish , and quality are there.

Great build quality but...
The knee protectors don't fit well. They are adjustable but still sit too low and doesn't cover my knees. Not a good jean for short people. It's a little tight as well. Overall, it looks and feels like it will protect in case of a fall.

Joe Rocket Jeans
I really like my new jeans, They look great and fit well.
The legs are a little longer than normal to cover your ankles while your legs are bent on the bike. They even have knee pads built in that are removable so you can wear them off the bike as well. Tough pair of pants, thicker than normal jeans. Buy them!

Great Protection with Great Looks
I just received these jeans and even though I haven't been on bike with them (while it's running), there are a couple of notes for potential buyers. The ad clearly states that there are pockets for armor in the knees. There is and they already come with CE rated armor installed. There are two sets of pockets, so depending on your height, you can lower or raise the armor to bring in line with your knees. Overall, they look like designer jeans. This is one of the few products that look better in person then in the ad. It's rare and I am fairly picky when it comes to jeans. The only thing that might be an issue is the weight. When the armor is installed and because of the thicker denim, gravity just loves them and it seems like I am pulling them up, something I rarely do with regular jeans. But since they are for riding, this seems like a good thing. The size seems in line with regular jeans. I ordered a size up for room because if it gets cold I want to be able to ride comfortably even with long johns underneath. I have plenty of room in them without baggy.
