BK Sin City,  NV Shift Havoc Pants So far, these pants have lived up to my every expectation. Fit, finish, and function. I have worn them on hot and cool days. When it's hot, as long as your moving you'll be ok. I like the look and and the feel of the garment. I only marked it down slightly for the lack of hip armor/padding and lack of belt loops. I like these pants a great deal, and I'm going to find a seamstress or tailor to install belt loops. I also like the fact that they fit over my boots. They are always an attention getter too, but overall, I like the protection they bring.

DucNCover Mill Valley,  CA Wreak Havoc Pants fit true to size. The size 36 fit like a size 36 jean. It's roomy enough to put a pair of thermals under but may be a little tight to wear as an over pant. The pads sit in the right places on the knee. Nice balance of leather and non leather materials. Pants can get a little warm when sitting still in traffic but they offer much better ventilation than all leather riding gear. Bang per buck this is a good pair of hybrid leather riding pants. These pants are perfect for riding through the micro climates of the Bay Area where temperatures can vary by 10-20 degrees by crossing from area to another in a matter of minutes. The pant legs are designed to fit over your boots. Remember pants first then boots! ;D

Oliver Pantego,  TX Shift Havoc Pants These pants offer excellent quality and practicality at a competitive price. They are ideal for short rides, but will also do for long trips in a pinch. I took them for a ride through the Alps this summer and they provided a high level of comfort in mixed weather conditions that even included snow. They do not offer as much protection as other more expensive race pants (no armor), but they are not as bulky either and pack easily on a trip. Added bonus: they offer much better abrasion protection than textile pants. Highly recommend for quality and value.

Danno Morris,  MB Finally got a chance to try the pants! Finally got some good riding weather up here in Canada and I love these Shift Racing - Havoc pants. I bought them a size bigger so I can wear shorts under them. This way I can take them off when I stop somewhere without attracting too much attention! The knees hang a little low when you stand, but they line up perfectly when you are in the riding position. I would recommend them to anyone. Lots of pockets and good fit and finish.

M. Bags Mcgee Truckee,  CA Creating Havoc These are pretty much the coolest leather pants you can buy. Unless you WANT to look like something from Saturday Night Fever. They are great for cooler weather and comfortable on long rides. I bought a size larger and use adjustable waist to dial in my fit with different layers of underwear/fleece. Styling is killer, my girlfriend gets jealous when I leave town with hot leather pants on. Buy these for $200 you can't go wrong.

Craig Weaverville,  NC Great Fit I love these pants for the fit and protection, they are very warm over 80 degrees. Could really use better venting for warmer weather. The knee protection does ride low when off the bike, I wish it were adjustable. But hey, they're for riding not walking. The size is true to normal pant sizes, at least it was for me. I normally wear a 36 x 34, I do wish they were a little longer.

A singh Charlotte,  NC wreak HAVOC! I love these pants. They look very street and racy at the same time. Leather in just the right places, lots of ventilation and zips perfect with my Shift vendetta jacket. Run a little long, but then again, you are not supposed to walk around in them. On the bike they are perfect. Knee guards and all fall in place. They are comfortable for me in anything between 55F and 70F. I also wear long John's under for extra warmth in the fall / early spring months. The style and looks are added bonus :P

Scott Shatalow Hosmer,  BC Can't find a better pant These are the go-to pants for me. Padding, leather, and breathability is just where it should be. Yea, the knee pads are a bit low when I'm off the bike, so I just stay on the bike longer. If I ever do get off the bike, I don't draw attention in a coffee shop like the tight one piece crowd. The only drawback is the lack of belt loops, but the waist adjustment system works fine. I'm a 34 in jeans, and the 34 fit perfect. Shift makes great gear, this is one of the finest.

Chris knoxville,  TN Great balance of form and function I'm always looking for leather pants that protect, are comfortable, and look good. These are my favorites so far. I'm kind of a stocky guy; 5'8" @ 170 lbs. I have a really hard time finding pants that give my legs enough room yet aren't a foot too long. I got the size 32 and they fit great. They're just a little bit snug, but it's just past the holidays, so it's mostly my fault. The snaps in the front have stayed snapped so far and they're really comfortable on the bike. While they're not perforated, they aren't overly warm. And they look great. They don't sag around the ass. The cargo pocket is a nice touch as well. I wouldn't wear them to the track or anything, but for typical street duty, they're just fine. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and with Motorcycle Superstore.

Alfred Chandler,  AZ AWESOME PANT! I bought the pant for an 1100 mile Iron Butt ride and it was worth every penny. The pants were warm enough when riding through the rain and snow but vented enough while riding through the AZ desert. That said, my only quam with the pants are that there aren't any belt loops and (due to my small gut) the buttons kept unfastening. Adding belt loops would have made this pant a perfect 10 out of 10...because it didn't I would give it a 9 out of 10. Great look and very comfy. The knee pads were too low for walking but once in riding position, it fit absolutely perfectly. Pant fit is like a modern pair of boot cut jeans.
