They are the best fitting & comfortable pants I've ever ridden in 35 years of riding. Looking forward to getting a leather pair. They are expensive, but if you have the means they are worth every penny.

Terrific pants, the only downer is the sizing. I'm usually an xl in most pants (motorcycle pants seem all to be made undersize), but in reading the reviews I bought 2xl's. Beginning to wish I’d gone 2 sizes larger. They fit perfectly without the thermal liner, but now it's getting colder, with liner in, they’re a little snug. Living in SoCal I’ll hardly have the liner in, so I can get by. But if you live anywhere where you need to use the liners for more than a couple months, go 2 sizes larger.

beware of sizing chart
I was looking for a pair of these Dakar pants just as they were being discontinued. I was psyched to find them on motorcyclesuperstore.com, and seemingly in my size according to the manufacturers sizing info. Unfortunately, the often read advice, “go a size up” from your normal size with relation to Rev'It! gear, proved to be the case here. Upon arrival they were too small, so I had to send them back. Every other aspect of my transaction with motorcycle superstore was fine, including the return. The closeout price was great too. I wouldn't hesitate to order the right product from them in the future.

I love these pants
Soon to be replaced by its new version/successor the Sands pants, the Dakar is a great European-style motorcycle pant. The difference between the Revit (Dutch) fit, and US geared brands is that Revit's clothing (like Rukka et.) fits close to the body; often too close mind you! I wear 34/32 in jeans and size XL Dakar fits me like a glove. Both design and execution are of high quality. The separate rain and winter liners zip in top and bottom; a nice touch. The leather knee pads on the inside are very nice, albeit a little slippery (pu coated leather). The side pouch pockets are somewhat on the small side. However with two additional slash pockets there is ample storage space. The fabric, pro-life protectors, sturdy pulls, and well-finished cuffs make this a high quality, be it a little pricey choice. Get the last ones while you can.
