Nice Pants
I was able to buy XL tall and they fit me perfectly. The side zippers are nice when you are off the bike and need to cool off. The knee armor covers my knees just fine. There is no CE armor in the hips, just padding. They will zip into my Tour Master jacket too. They are easy to remove if you want to remove them before going into a restaurant but if you don't, they are still stylish. I will always have them on for my longer rides.

Fieldsheer Booster Pants
Having been burned before with a bizarre fit on women's pants, I went for men's since the waist size was a sure thing. I have to cinch up the waist all the way but the fit then works. I think the value on these pants is great at $99.00, but I see the elastic waistband as vulnerability, so I'm trying not to pull them up by that. I like the styling. Haven't tried them out in cold yet, but they vent well in the heat.

need more time
I only wore these pants twice, they seem like they are good quality, and should hold up for a long time, especially hanging in my closet. The fit is good, but they are very warm, a cold and rainy weather ride should make me appreciate them more. I think the riding jeans might have been a better choice for me, at least through the summer months.

Fieldsheer Booster Pants, Decent for the Price
Since these pants are mostly good, I will talk about the very few issues that make these pants "not perfect".
The 2 zipper vents are in a place where they do not do much at all. The flap that covers the fly zipper is stiched at the bottom in one small place. I fully expect that to rip open after a few months. The padding on the hips & back could be a bit more substancial.
I am 6' with a 34 inch waist & 34 inch inseam. I ordered the large long size & they are a perfect fit. I ride a 2008 KLR650.
Overall these are good pants for the money. Without the liner, they are good down to about 40 degrees. With the liner I anticipate they will be good into the mid to upper 20's. If you have a good fairing with lower leg protection, then these may be good to much colder temps. I have worn them in temps up to about 85. They are fine as long as you are moving at that temp.

Great Cold to Mild Weather Pants
I have only gotten to wear these 3 times, and they are great.

Fieldsheer-Booster Pants
I returned these pants because the fit was too tight. I wear jeans normally with a waist size of 32/33 so I ordered 34s. I would advise ordering a size larger than what you think would fit you with a little room to spare. They were even tight with the liner out and shorts underneath. In addition, don't expect to get the pant legs over riding boots.

Great pant!!
Was looking for comfortable riding pant with liner in a tall size being 6'5''. The Silver came in tall which looks sharp and nice features. No vents just pockets which would have been nice. Good for spring and cooler riding. Liner will get you into the 30 degrees easy. Rain-proof. Size up if not sure. Crotch area is a little tight with liner if you go smaller. Thanks for the tall size! Best pant for the money in this style.

Booster Pants
Overall, I've found that the fit and finish of these pants is excellent. Zippers, Velcro, even the fit of the armor on the knees is excellent. They really do sit well when in a riding position. That said, being a rider with a 32 inseam, I should have purchased the long version of the pants, as the normal length ones ride up my leg when I'm in a good riding position. However, they still work well, and I believe they were worth the investment.

Skinny-legged pants!
So, I've been a long-time owner of some Joe Rocket Ballistic pants, which have made it through many years' worth of all-weather riding, and my experience with those is largely what I'll be basing my observations of the Fieldsheer Booster Pants on. Basically, these look well made, and I was happy with the length.

Good bang for the buck!
These are a good bang for the buck. I was not sure on the size and only went up one size and I am glad I did. I have worn these in 40-50 degree weather and they are very warm. They seem to be made very well except for the stretchy material around the waist. What ever you do, don't pull the pants up by that, mine is starting to rip. Other than that I am very pleased.

Good, but needs two-zippers
I really like these pants; however they lack air vents or two-way zippers (ones that could also serve as hip vents). I found them very hot in 70 degree weather. I will not use the liner for any temps above freezing. I am sure they will be very toasty in the colder weather (with the liner), so I doubt I will need heavier pants in the winter. Pockets are well-placed and I really like the Phoslite trim.

Fieldsheer booster pant
Excellent pants. Well made, good quality material, thoughtful design, tall sizes, and great price makes me strongly recommend these pants. No vents may cause them to be warm in 80-90 degree temps. Great deal. Silver color looks great and will help reflect some sun. Nice reflective features. 6'5 and 185 lbs. Large tall did the trick.

Fieldsheer Booster Pants
Very much like these pants. They are comfortable enough to wear off the bike, the knee armor feels substantial and stays in place, they have large useful front pockets, they are very easy to get in and out of, and even without the liner, the pants are very warm in the wind. Rode with them down into 20s and was comfortable in them.
Only complaint is the hip padding is not very substantial.

Good Stuff
The full side zipper is great for getting in and out of the pants without taking your boots off. They are baggy enough that I don't feel constricted putting them on over my work cloths but not too baggy. The only down side is that the knee pads are set too low and the vents aren't very effective.

Cold weather pants.
I bought these for a 35 mile commute to work. Typical April day in Ohio, 45 in the morning and 75 on the way home. To work I had the liner in and they were perfect, even at highway speeds. Home, without the liner they were a bit warm in traffic and ok at speed. Won't wear these in the summer, will look into mesh pants. These are well made and armored enough without being bulky. Happy with the purchase.

What can I say?
These work well at 28 degrees. I have not had the chance of being in the rain yet. I went 2 sizes up, I think I could have went 1 size up. They stop the wind very well. Plenty of pockets, a choice of colors, a fair price, and a feel of protection. I wish all motorcycle clothes manufacturers would incorporate more reflective tape.

Booster pants
My first pair of booster pants had the smaller zipper that broke. When I looked for a new set of pants I finally looked at the newer version of the Booster pants and found a better zipper. The fit and finish are very good. I have been caught in the rain with these pants and have had no problems. The price at your store cannot be beat anywhere. Thanks.

Great pants! Wore them in Feb in -9 degrees for two hours of cold riding and kept the legs nice and warm. Have to wait to check if they’re water proof!

Comfortable, easy to climb into, good insulation. They are a bit baggy, but definitely do the job for cold weather riding.

Not overpants
I ordered a size bigger thinking that I could use them as an over pant-- not so much. However, with a pair of long johns, I’ve been in the high 30's and been comfortable. A good buy.

went with the silver for the summer hot riding weather
With the liner there is no cold cruising at high speed in 30 degree weather, and rain. I know the pants will be great in warm weather and without the liner. Fit was true. Venting is great if needed. Excellent value!

Just in time!!
Great pants!! First, I am 6'0" tall, 230lbs., with a 38-40 waist and I ordered the xl short and they fit great. The only thing wrong in my opinion with the pants is the shin and knee armor hang low on or off the bike. They're a little scuffed up and now have a hole in them but I am very glad I had them.
