Fieldsheer Four Season Mesh Pants
They were too bulky for my liking. I am 6'5" and weigh about 215. They were only available in a 2XL Tall, which I ordered. They were too big. A smaller size may have been more satisfactory, but that wasn't an option. I returned them.

Size and Fit
I was worried about all the various information here regarding size and fit, so I decided to order my exact size and one size larger (like so many claim to do) and return the ones that did not fit (gotta love MC Superstores no-hassle return policy).
My finding is that these pants fit to the EXACT size unless you are choosing to wear them as an over pant.
The pants themselves are outstanding. They are comfortable and protective, warm with the liner and like not wearing pants at all without the liner. These pants are well crafted and very versatile.
Highly recommended!!!

poor fit
Why do pants with larger waist size always have such long inseams? With pants like these that you can't easily shorten more length options should be available. CE armor on knees is never in the correct position.

cool pants
I have been satisfied with these pants. They are well built, cool and comfortable. So far I've worn the outer pants in temperatures from about 60 deg. up to 104 degrees. The outside pant can be worn alone (when its hot) or over any pants or shorts. The insulated pants are water resistant and could be worn as your pants for the day if you don't mind wearing insulated, black pants all day. I have not had a chance to try them in the rain but I'd guess that when its really raining hard, water would eventually soak through the inner pant. The hip pads they come with are so flimsy I don't really see the point, so although I added my own padding to beef them up, it would be nice if they just came with plastic hip protection. I also wish the butt had some anti-slip patches but it not a big deal.

Good enough.
They work well at 95F+ with 95%+ humidity when life depends on ventilation. And you dry out quickly after the rain stops, too. But long traffic lights still suck unless a stiff breeze is blowing.
These pants fit better than my other overpants but I like the waist tight and the snap won't cooperate and comes undone repeatedly. I would rather have had something more robust like a small plastic quick release clip in front.
Anything that at least looks like it would stay together in a get off.
The zipper in back meshes perfectly with the one on my tourmaster mesh jacket.

Great pants
These are great pants. Wear size 34 waist, ordered 34 waist, and they fit very well. Feel strange walking around in, but once you are on the bike, they maneuver into position perfectly...they're made for riding. I will say that in temperatures above 95 degrees, the areas that do not have ventilation get very very HOT. The wind moves fluidly thru the mesh areas, and keep those areas nice and cool. I would highly recommend these to everyone.

Four Season Mesh Pant
I purchased these riding pants for longer rides when I really wanted more protection. I just finished a 5 day ride and used them most of the time. I haven't had an opportunity to use the line since I just got the pants in July but the liners seem like they will be excellent for cooler seasons. Fit and comfort are good. While they feel a little cumbersome off the bike, they feel great when riding and provide excellent protection. The mesh pants stay fairly comfortable ln the 90's as long as you're moving and not too bad at slower speeds. They do vent well. They are easy to put on and take off with the full zipper legs. Overall I'm very happy with them and would buy them again.
Overall, a great product. Also use the Fieldsheer mesh jacket and it is fantastic. No complaints. Cool and comfortable.

Great Pants!
As others have posted, tight, order 1-2 sizes bigger than Levis. Otherwise fantastic features, easy on/off. Keeps me from riding with shorts only!

Great mesh but sizing and liner are tricky
Very comfortable pants for summer riding thanks to generous mesh - I wear these as overpants on my commute. There's velcro only on the bottom of these where they fit over your boots. The boot cuffs are generously sized. However, it was annoying to separately zip off both the liner and the mesh. As others said, sizing is a bit off, so I'm planning to return them for a 36. I normally wear 32 or 33 pants and got a 34 Fieldsheer. I can get the mesh pants over my work pants but it's quite snug. There's no way I'd be comfy for a 30 minute commute with the liner still in these pants. Hopefully the 36 size will work as 3-season pants. There's velcro adjusters at the hips so i could cinch tighter for the weekend fun rides with shorts on, or without the liner.

Fit
I am impressed with many features and you seem to get a lot for your money with these pants. I need to warn “vertically challenged” riders that the rise and inseam are both very long. I have a 30” inseam and the waist band hit me well above my tummy button. This caused the waist snap to pop open every time I moved. I had to return the pants, but if you are 5’10’ or more, they may fit you OK.

Fieldsheer pants
Bought these for an easy on and off pair of pants, and they are. What surprised me was how comfortable these pants are, a gusseted crotch with stretch makes these pants way more comfortable than some other gear I have that was way more expensive. And the fit on the legs and armor very good.

I haven't had much need to wear the pants yet. I have tried the themonce with the liner. The weather was around 5C and they worked great. I ordered a size larger than my actual waist size and am very grateful that I did. These pants zipper into my fieldsheer jacket which is great.
David
Bronx, NY
Good for the price
I had my eye on these pants for a while and was glad to see their price had come down. They seem comfortable in most riding situations, but I'm not sure how well made they are. For instance, the waist closure is a single snap and a lightly-stitched button. They also look baggy and about two sizes too big with the liners removed. They are easy to get on/off and hopefully will stand up well in a crash. I guess time will tell.

40 was too large
Way too large for me who balloons back and forth from a 36 to a 38 in normal trousers. I've been wearing 38's for the past couple of years, even though it is slightly too large. I guess I'm a 37? :) Anyway, the advice to order one size up was not feasible for me.
Scott
Pittsburgh, PA
Overall great riding pants
Have had them for a year, used them for two long rides and daily commute in a variety of conditions and they were a great choice. Yes, they are long (5-8, 30 in. inseam), but when sitting on the bike they are perfect. I ordered in my waist size and they fit great over jeans or shorts -- without the liner. Pros -- well constructed (except the snap) and appear to offer great protection in the event of a fall. Feel very confident in them. Waist adjustment belt very handy. Knee pads perfectly placed once adjusted. Also, as advertised, great warm and cool weather comfort.

Needs belt loops and a button at the front!
These were a great value, but they lack a belt loop! The front snap pops off when you eat too much or sometimes just for the fun of it. I am going to try to fix the snap by crimping it, but in an accident I am sure it will pop. The button home behind the snap has a hole that was too small for the button to fit, and I had to take a knife and open the hole a bit to make it useable. Over all they fit fine, and breath well. For the money you cannot go wrong. They feel like you are wearing shorts with the protecton of a great pair of padded pants. I got the silver ones so I would not bake in the sun, and that seems to me working well!

Four Season Mesh Pants by Fieldsheer
#1 reason these pants rock? I tend to be hot-blooded. These pants are gray-ish, so when the Colorado sun beats on them, they don't act like a thermal oven. Plenty of safety. The water-proof insert is warm... but it removes easily. #2? The full side zips are a must have feature. I have them on all my mountaineering clothes, but having it on my motorcycle is almost more useful. You can take them on and off very quickly & easily with boots on. Even wet boots. #3? The armor is subtle & quite comfy. I will have to trust the rating as I've never tested their effectiveness... nor do I plan to test them.

Not for women
I've tried to find mesh pants to fit my very feminine size 20 body, but apparently I'm the only woman of my size who needs them, because they have - so far - been impossible to find. These were about a foot too long, too tight in the hips, and too loose in the waist... just like every other pair I've tried. I wish riding gear makers would figure out that the same women who wear their 1X and 2X jackets need pants, too.

Exactly what I wanted, comfort, protection, and breezy. ;) These really cool off the middle part of the body when driving around and allowing the inside of your legs to catch the wind.

Great Pants
I bought these on close out, which makes the cost benefit a 5+. I am 6' 220 lbs with 32" inseam. 36 waist jeans/38 dress slacks. The size 38 fit perfectly as overpants with the liner out, a little snug with the liner in, but will be perfect with jogging pants. The inseam is long, but doesn't ride up my boots.
Jeff Ashe
Richlands, NC
Great mesh pants, always too long.
It's an absolute shame they don't come in lengths. Cost me an extra $35 and two weeks at a local seamstress to get them hemmed up 2 inches. But these pants are worth the trouble.

Got it on sale and ordered too big
I love the pants themselves. I just wish I could have got them before the the store ran out of the lower sizes. I read some reviews of Fieldsheer pants and they said to order a size over your pants size. I may have been another style of pant because it seems these are sized for overpants. They are too big for me. It does have adjustments but even adjusted all the way in they are too big. I will keep them and wear them. I love the liner for cool mornings. The liner comes out easily for the ride home. I love the adjustable knee pads and the breathing mesh. Good pants but for this style, get the size you normally wear.

Good Pants
These pants vent well without the liner, it hasn't been cold enough to use it. To button these pants takes a miracle and years of patience, because the hole is too small and the button is too big. Luckily my girlfriend is replacing it for me, because I couldn't make the hole big enough without messing the pants up. I ordered a size larger to use them as overpants, and they fit well over my pants. They seem long when standing or walking, but when on my Bandit 1200 they slide right into place. Overall they're pants worth having.

Almost ready for prime time
Finally a mesh pant that's not black, but... The basic construction is much like my First Gear mesh overpant II. Both could use more mesh area - it looks about 20% [front/back of calf, front/back of thigh. Seat, inner and outer leg, all around the knee both well above and below are solid fabric. Over all, it feels like the fashion designers had the last say over the functional designers. An all too often occurrence these days. I have two Fieldsheer jackets and I think they are the best I've ever owned. I was disappointed by the below basic design errors.

4 season mesh pants
Size 36 is my pant size and the 36 mesh pants fit just right for my 195 pound 6' frame. The silver isn't as light as the picture, but it does have some reflectivity. They are plenty long for walking, but right for riding and I like that the knee armor is adjustable. I've traveled once in chilly weather with the liner in and they were very toasty. Now that it's hot (80s-90s F), I've been wearing them without the liner, over shorts and they really do breathe well. I like the side zippers for ease of putting on and taking off. The waist button hole is a little tight and the button needs some reinforcing, and they could use more pockets, maybe on the sides of the upper legs. But overall they're comfortable while riding; roomy and don't pull. My Fieldsheer jacket has tighteners over the elbow armor; I wish the pants did as well. I haven't tried them out in rain yet.

Comfortable full features pants
Great pants especially since I got them at a good price b/c one of Motorcycle Super Stores amazing sales. Goes well with my Fieldsheer leather jacket. Knee guards are a little low when standing, but when on a bike they fit great. I order a size up but still a little tight over my semi-baggy jeans probably just have to break them in more...still a little stiff.
Lawrence
Pico Rivera, CA
One size fits...
As long as you are a 33 inseam, these pants will fit perfect. I have a 30 inseam and lot of leg is left at the bottom. The knee pads are hard to adjust but have a lot of adjustment ranges. The waist is right on, the rest is very baggie. I kept them because I plan to wear them for riding in hot weather and the light grey color is much better then black. I have not tried them on the road but will have a better opinion for durability rating.
John
Orlnado, FL
Fieldsheer - Four Seasons Mesh Pants
I gave the fit a 3 because they are too long. In order to get a size 44 waist I had to get the long inseam of 34 which is 4 inches too long. Overall they fit well everywhere else. I actually ordered two pair, one silver and one black. I wear the silver ones in the warm/hot months and the black in the cool season. These pants are the easiest pair I ever owned to get on and off with boots. Zipper goes all the way to the waist so they almost fall off.
Nate Bruce
Islamorada, FL
These suckers are tight!
I got these in silver and I like these pants a lot. I'm in the Florida keys so I haven't ridden with the liner in and, it's a good thing too. I wear a size 34, ordered a 36 and they are still tight. If I had the liner in, it just wouldn't work. The armor in the knees was pretty easy to adjust to the right position. These are pretty cool in the Florida heat as long as your moving; as soon as you get off to run in the store or whatnot, they can get a little warm though. Still for the amount of protection you can't go wrong with these.

These are great pants...the sizing for me is dead on, I just ordered the closet to my jean size.. ..as for the liner... if it is not above 70 degrees it is very chilly at speed without the liner in. With the liner in your are good to like 45 degress i'd say.
great product, great price.

Too long for my short legs
Seem like good pants, but without different lengths to choose from, they were way WAY too long for me with my 30 inch inseam. I couldn't even adjust the knee pads to the right position. Returned.

I'm glad I got these pants. The knee armor doesn't sit in the correct spot all the time so I'm working on getting that fixed but overall they are of good quality and have the features I was looking for.

Very good, but....
Like everyone else I've read on this site, the snap has a little to be desired. I'm going to just have a seamstress put a button there and fix the problem. Other than that, very good in the cold and great in the summer.

FS Fourseason pant
So far I am very impressed with this pant. I took the advice and went a full size larger (36) then my normal jeans (34) which was a good call. Not baggy either! I'm 6'0", and when walking the pant is a bit long but once in the saddle they provide good coverage to the ankle area. I haven't ridden with the removable insulation liner out so can't comment on ventilation just yet. But they've kept me warm while riding in the low 40's. Overall, very impressed with the quality. No button problems like some others have expressed and the zippers work great

overpants
I bought these as overpants so I had to get one size larger. The snap is not very tight but they also included a button to keep the pants on. The only problem I have is that since I bought them as overpants they are a little long. Otherwise they are great pants.

These pants are great for wearing over jeans. Excellent over knee and shin armor coverage. Hip pads are well placed and comfortable; they can be sewed in place. Quality of product is superb.
Terry Crisp
New Bern, NC
Fieldsheer Four Season Mesh Pants
So far I have only worn these in the winter mode, which is with the liner in. They fit well over jeans and are very warm, at least when the temps are in the low 30's. They are a little difficult to put on the first time, but after getting used to them it's no problem. I don't know how difficult it is to remove and replace the liner, haven't done that yet. I would highly recommend them for cold weather riding. Be sure to get 2 inches bigger than normal waist size, i.e. I got a 34 and I wear a 32.
Todd
Granada Hills, CA
Just what I was looking for
Love these pants. I followed the suggestions of others that gave reviews and ordered slightly larger than my size. I wear 34" waist jeans, so I ordered the 36" pant - great call. Without the liner, the waist snaps over my jeans just right. With the liner in, it's kinda snug. The length is just right for me (6'1"). They feel slightly baggy in the legs, but not too bad at all. They are warm, even without the liner. I can wear them without the liner into the 40's. With the liner in, these things could take you through the Arctic. The full length zipper on the sides was the true sell - I'm in or out of them in about 15 seconds.

Altogether good, could fit better around the knees.
I've been riding in weather anywhere between 30 and 70 degrees in these. The liner is very warm, and easy to remove for those warmer days. The outer mesh shell is very adjustable and breathes quite well. I would say the only drawback to these pants is the lack of cinch straps above and below the knees. Without them, the knee armor tends flop to one side. I'm 6'1, 175 pounds and normally wear a 34 waist, so I got a 36 and they fit great in the waist and length, just a little loose around the knee area. I would still buy them again, for the money they are good quality all season pants.
Jim

Fieldsheer Mesh Pants
This is a substantial product with the combined outer shell and inner liner. It does the job though. I have worn them twice this past week and they kept me warm and comfy. The zipper legs are a must feature and makes donning and removing the pant much easier. I gave them a 3 on fit as the inseam is longer than the advertised length. Another good feature they should consider would be to include suspenders. These pants are heavy with all of the added protection and with my pear shaped torso, they don't stay up. I will add a pair of suspenders to help the cause.
Luke Jasek
Flatonia, TX
F/S Four Season Pants
Very good pants for the $$$. Order the size of your jeans, and they should fit well. Good Protection, good ventilation, and easy to get on/off. I got mine this summer and maybe they have fixed the snap-popping-open problem as mine don't do that. However, they haven't fixed the tiny-inner-button problem. You almost have to rearrange some internal organs to get it snapped...but it is getting easier. A little long as people have stated, but they do have a nice Velcro closure at the bottom. Also, very comfortable on the bike with shorts on. I probably won't wear these in the cold because I have a pair of Joe Rockets that are made for that and bought these mesh ones just for summer.
Todd S
Broomfield, CO
Excellent all around pant
I bought these because of their ability to span multiple seasons. The mesh is excellent in the summer months and now that it's already 35 degrees in Colorado, I can safely say the lining is EXCELLENT for winter use. Only complaint is one that has already been voiced -- the button (plastic) and metal snap on the waste is entirely too wimpy. I will add a Velcro flap to supplement this soon. Otherwise, awesome pants!
Joseph
San Jose, CA
Great pair of pants
This is my 2nd pair (first one got stolen) and I still think it's 1 of the best over-pants in the market. Comforts, good look, air flow, easy on/off, decent protection are some of its attributes.
Brad Gillie

Great Pants
Quality pants at a great price. These fit great and are very comfortable in the riding position. There was not any bunching up in sensitive areas if you know what I mean. The first day I wore these, I went 700 miles. A couple of days later, I did 1,000 miles. The pants were great. Motorcycle Superstore was very fast with shipping, and provided an immediate tracking number.
dar
deer park, TX
nice pants
Overall a great pant, fit=great I ordered my size. even over clothing. the lower leg portion keeps you surprisingly cool, the upper portion not so much. Of course this is south east Texas in the summer. I kinda wish I was dumb enough to ride in shorts. I have ridden through several rain storms without the liner and still stayed amazingly dry. The full leg zips are the shiznizzal, def the best feature of these pants. not to floppy in the wind. Would buy again no question.

Mesh Pants
I was looking for a pair of pants that could be worn for more than just the summer or winter. Most vented pants are also black which doesn't make sense to me. When I saw the Fieldsheer 4 Season I thought I'd give them a try. I am 6' tall, 32 inseam and bought the 36 waist. The waist fits great, but they are a little long, not much but enough that I am hitching them up when walking around. When riding they are pretty much perfect, knee amour is in the right place etc. The waist fastener is a little awkward, buttons and clips. There is provision for a belt and of course the ubiquitous zipper to fasten to the jacket. The inner shell is very warm for those colder days and when not installed there is still an inner skin over the vented portion.

I like the fact that I can wear shorts under these pants and the mesh keeps me cool by allowing decent air flow through the material while affording me maximum protection.

Fieldsheer Four Season Mesh Pants
I purchased the mesh pants to match with the Hi-Temp Mesh Jacket. Great looking and quality outfit. I highly recommend these pair of pants for all riding styles. The mesh material allows your lower body to stay cool. I have not tested the thermal liner but I am confident that it will keep me warm for the upcoming fall/winter season. If you are looking to purchase a textile outfit, I would recommend these pants and Hi-Temp Mesh Jacket. Great value for the quality, comfort and performance!
Jeremiah

Great buy! Very versatile!
I have been wearing these pants year round for two seasons. I have a 30 mile commute and ride every day the roads aren't icy. I have ridden in 100+ temps down to 17 degrees and these pants get it done. The liner is very very warm. Warm enough, that if it isn't really cold you will sweat, but at highway speeds, even well below freezing, they keep me toasty.
Don Murphy
Wiggins, MS
Fieldsheer - Four Season Mesh Pants
I like the pants. The size is about right, but had to shorten the length to 30". Adjusted the armor to fit knees. Con's more hip padding, need a belt instead of the snap. A heat resistant material on the inside of the leg. I have touched the hot exhaust pipe it melts the pants leg and leaves a plastic residue on the exhaust pipe.
Eric Chipko
Houston, TX
Good communter pant
I am keeping them. I commute in Houston everyday 50mi round trip unless it’s raining when I leave. Pros - Good knee protection and ventilation. Better than the 1st gear it’s replacing. Cons - the snap is weak but not a problem so far. Hip protection is only foam. Upgrading with CE from another pair of Fieldsheer pants that I have already. The inner lining is goofy. I will wear frogtogs on top if it’s raining and leathers or another set of non-mesh overpants if I know it’s going to be cold. I threw the liner away and would prefer the manufacturer to not include this goofy feature and reduce the price by $10 or $20.

Great riding Pants
I have been using these without the liner each time I ride. They are comfortable and keep me from overheating in the 90 degree weather. The knee pads are adjustable. Zip out legs work well. Overall I am pleased. Will be looking forward to wearing the liner and riding in the fall. Fit was true to my size.

Fieldsheer - four season mesh pants
Excellent riding pant. Great ventilation which is needed here in steamy Georgia. A little baggy in the rear. I'm going to have a tailor take them in a bit and shorten the length so they fit into my riding boots. Hard to adjust the knee pads but you only have to do it once.
Kevin
Killington, VT
Good hot-weather compromise
Also, as another user noted, the waist snap is a poor choice of closure; if I have the waist nice and tight to discourage movement, it pops when I try to swing my leg over my bike (if it didn't already pop when I reached up to open the garage door). If I loosen the waist enough that the button doesn't pop, I don't feel that the pants will stand any chance of staying put in a get-off.Overall, I like the pants for times when I'm using the bike as transportation and leather pants just won't cut it at the end of the ride. However, I think they provide limited protection at best and could use a few improvements to upgrade their performance in that regard.

Cortez, CO
FieldSheer - 4-Season Mesh Pants
Fit was intentionally loose (size 34) to allow for liner and wearing over Levis or shorts. Great fit for M-C mounted position, except for 1.) the difficulty of placing the kneepad cups properly; 2.) the waistband snap keeps popping open with the slightest movement; and 3.) the waistband inner security button is nearly impossible to button and un-button. To make the kneepad cups fit properly the waistband must be worn very high above the belly-button and hip-bones, and held in place with stout suspenders, with the crotch up tight. This makes 'use' of the front zipper for 'comfort stops' very awkward, sloppy, and painful. Partial 'takedown' in this case is necessary. Side-leg zippers are excellent for pain-free ingress and egress with boots on. Velcro ankle closures work marvelously, and can be left open for more ventilation. This pant will work marvelously if I can jerry-rig a way to keep the waistband snap from always popping open -- perhaps sew-over an additional Velcro strap. I cannot rate "Durability" until riding with the product a lot more, but this review would not be accepted without an entry thereto.

Excellent Pants - Bad Snap
These are excellent pants. I wear these when I teach and they are far more comfortable than standard pants. The largest issue with these is the weak and feeble snap closure, and the fact that they cannot be equipped with a belt for a sturdier fit (no belt loops). I called Fieldsheer and recommended that they switch the snap to a double enclosure, and add belt loops in the same color as the pants.

I bought these pants in mid April, after I saw the ones my son purchased. Then headed out from Rapid City SD. to Kansas City MO. on my R1200GS. With jeans underneath I was comfortable in temps from 40-82 on the way down. Then on the way home I put the liners in by themselves in cold rainy weather for 3oo miles. I am very impressed with this setup! The lines were damp but I never felt a chill. Can't wait to try them in the hot summer months.

Good all around pants, still not for all conditons though
I got the mesh pants for protection for commuting (1/2 h to 1 hr) and a 3 day trip. They seemed too long but on the bike the knee pads com up to correct placement. The quilted lining is strictly for freezing weather, as we went over Satiam Pass at 32 degrees, and I was not cold without the liner after puting on my light rain gear over these pants. The liner fits OK but makes it pretty bulky for me. I prefer to use rain pants over top. For here in Oregon I don't expect to use the liner at all since I don't ride under 40 degrees normally. Last week at 94 degrees, I was hot even with the mesh, and needed to stand up to get off the seat frequently after 1/2 hr to cool off my crotch. I love the full leg zippers for taking off fast at the office. Silver color is good for visibility and cooler in heat, but gets dirty fast. I had bought Fieldsheer’s rainproof pant which was on sale but returned it for these because they were too bulky and hot for summer. I'm glad I did. The others fit me better but would have been way to hot for warm or hot weather.

Ultimate riding pants!
Pros:
Move a lot of air, especially on an un-faired bike
Easy on and off with side zippers
Good armor, with a good range of adjustment
Thick, warm liner, with full side zips
Cons:
A little long when walking around, but a good length while riding
A little difficult to pick a size without trying them on, I normally wear a size 40/32, but a 40 in the Fieldsheer’s was way too large, even with the liner. I ended up with 36’s. The liner adds just enough bulk that the shells are slightly large without them, and slightly snug with them.
Some sort of clip would be nice instead of the snap on the fly, as it tends to come undone.
The zipper attachment was opposite that of both my Joe Rocket and Firstgear coats. Don’t let my nit-picky cons fool you, these pants are superb, I love them.

Great value
Pants are great. I wear them over my dress pants on my commute to work. Leg length is a bit long for me, but they velcro up nicely and the length doesn't present a problem. I wish they made 2 liners for this, the normal cold weather liner is water resistant, but I wish they also had a light weight water resistant liner for rainy days.

Fieldsheer Four Season Mesh Pants
I normally wear 34-36 pants so I ordered the 36 size and they fit great. The liner works well for the colder temps and there is great ventilation with the liner removed for warmer weather. I think this is a well designed product and being lighter colored doesn't absorb the sun's heat on warm days. Overall I am very pleased with them.

These are probably some of the best pants for the price I've tested. The fit is a bit tight, normally mediums fit well, the medium FS pants are a little tight.

This is the one you need.
Okay, leather chaps may look tough but personally I like the idea of some armor and a little more versatility and these pants have got it! I ordered the size I usually wear in jeans (36) and thanks to the adjustable waistband these pants work alone (for warm days) and also easily cover my jeans for cooler days. The thermal insert definitely knocks the chill off on cold days. The side zippers make them easy to get on or off with my riding boots on. I wear these every day on my ride to and from work and they've held up great. Sure they're a little pricey, but considering they're the only riding pants you'll probably need to buy they're worth it!

Fieldsheer 4 season pants
Great except the fastners for the wastband don't work. One is a tiny button- not durable enough and the other is a snap that won't stay closed. Notice a trend here? I think the manufacturer should fix that and then they would have an awsome product...

Very good pants. Fit well, durable and well made. Only flaw is the single snap closure on the waist won't stay snapped. I put an extra clasp over it. Other wise very satisfied with pants and would purchase again.

Nice Pants
I have a pair of Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0 pants for cold weather riding but needed a pair for spring and summer. I have a Fieldsheer warm weather jacket that I couldn't be happier with so I decided to give the Four Season pants a try. Haven't worn them in temps above 70 degrees yet but I anticipate that they'll keep me cool and give me the protection I need. I refuse to ride without knee armor and adequate abrasion protection from the road. These pants seem to fit the bill for warm weather conditions. Only complaint: The button snap pops open too easily. Guess I'll have to lose 5 lbs.

Nice pants/overpants
I bought the size of pant I wear, and I can easily wear these as overpants with the liner out. The pants do swish when you walk so if you find that annoying be aware. The material seems pretty durable. Adjusting the knee pads (yes they can adjust) can be a little bit of a pain as there's 3 or so levels of velcro that keep it in place. I'm on the bigger side, 40" waist and 5'11" and there is plenty of pant leg left ordered as regular. So if you are shorter, you will have a big clump of material around your shoes. Overall I am pleased with purchase.

Good value
Added layer of armored protection plus warmth. I just wear the outer layer over office clothes and long underwear on a cold day and it's plenty warm. Easy to put on and off without removing shoes/boots with the side zippers. I ordered size 36 waist, I wear a size 34 jeans. That fits about right over my jeans.

Fieldsheer-Four Season Mesh Pants
The pants are very comfortable & stylish. I ordered a 38 & the fit was perfect. I wouldn't be afraid to wear these on a cold day with only long underwear on. For the price you can't go wrong.

Fieldsheer 4 season pants
Expected pants to fit better. I was hopping for a less baggy look, but I guess looks must come after function. I've used the pants without the liner now a few times. With cotton dress pants under and no liner I was cool but comfortable on my 25 minute ride to work at 28 degrees. I'd suggest the use of the liner on longer rides in these temps. Ordered correct waist size 42, I'm 6'3” and 270, good build with a little extra around the middle as many Americans are. Liner is short in the crotch and snug. Pants are plenty long and a bit baggy. Waist is adjustable and good crotch height. These pants seem to work fine but I should have bought two separate pants. One for summer (Leather mesh) and an overpant for winter.

Excellent riding pants
Just the pants I was looking for. Plenty of range in the waist adjustment to cover weight changes, the inner liner is keeping me warm on mornings below 30 degrees, without the liner I am comfortable during the day. Also fits over my strap on knee guards (with included pads removed). Very happy with these pants.

Love the option of removing liner. Mesh great for ventilation and wearing shorts underneath and liner great for the cooler weather.

Fieldsheer Four Seasons Mesh Pants
They are great , my only complaint is that the pants are slightly longer than my body, kneepads are below my knees so I have to pull them up high so they fit properly, and it's hard with my beer belly.

Very warm with liner, but also very baggy.

Four Season Mesh Pants
These pants are a great value for commuters like me. Getting them on and off is effortless. The only big negative is the knee armor which is not very securely attached to the mesh outer layer and can move around quite a bit. Knee armor doesn't help if it's halfway around your leg when you hit the pavement. Other gear I have from Olympia and Alpinestars has the armor more securely attached. Sizing is dead on - I am a 30/32, so the size 30 pants are too small for overpants. Order the next si

Accurate to large sizing
The trouble I have been having finding good riding gear is that everything runs small and finding 4XL and 5XL stuff is hard. Fieldsheer is a thankful respite from the others. I am 6'2", 240lbs, 37-38 inch waist and 32 inch inseam. I ordered both the 38 and the 40 (thinking they would be running a bit small.) 38s fit dead on, a little snugger with the liner in, but with two front button options and the adjustable sides, they easily and comfortably fit. With the liner out, fit is great.....al

Four Season Mesh Pant - Black
GREAT look and feel! The quality is commendable and the pads are adjustable. I have worn them when it was 50 comfortably with no noticeable wind chill. The only faults are the cost and that they tend to slip on the seat occasionally.

Excellent choice
I've considered several overpants (Alpine Star, First Gear, Tour Master, etc...) but they're all baggy and/or ugly. The 4-season mesh pant by Fieldsheer not only looks good, is trimmed to fit, but also has CE-certified armor which btw is available only as an upgrade with some other pants. I wear 30/30 jeans and ordered the 30-size black pant which fits me perfect thanks to the elastic waistbands. I'm completely satisfied with the pant and service/delivery provided by Superstore. I'll get a 2nd p

Four Season Mesh Pants (Silver)
Looks good, and fits very well. The sides have velcro strap adjustments and elastic sections on the waistband for excellent comfort and fit.
Would have liked a tall size (not available), but these (34" inseam) just fit me (I'm 6' 4").
I've very impressed with the liner, haven't needed it as yet, but looks like it will keep me that much warmer in cold weather.
The pants are very well made, and gives me the impression that they'll last a very long time.
I like the silver for keeping the sun f

Four Season Mesh Pant
Looks real good. I ordered 38" and they measure 39" with the liner out. The inseam is 34". The armor in the knees is adjustable up and down by velcro strips in the armor pockets.
You can realy feel the air coming through on the bike and waking around. The Silver color did not feel hot in the Sun. A good color for hot weather.

Runs Large
Quality of finish is excellent. Inner layer can be take off for the summer and re-attached during colder weather. Size runs quite a bit large...almost as though these were overpants, which I personally don't need. Inseam, too, is quite long. If in doubt, go with the smaller size unless you plan to use them as overpants.
