HWK Men's Dual Sport Motorcycle Pants Waterproof Corduratextile Fabric Impact Protection Armor

Definitely great for getting caught in the rain while riding. It is water resistant as well. Over all really good.

After 1.5 months of decent use I can say I have 0 buyers remorse and quite happy with the purchase. Note - the review below is for both the matching pants and jacket. Reviewed the common parts first, then a separate section for pant and jacket specific parts after. Quality, protection, and value for $ is probably unmatched and the reason for initial purchase. Have received many comments on them for being a good looking suit. They are quite warm, and with the matching jacket I purchased was sweating a lot on hot days. Not recommended for city driving on hot days (although not sure what a good protective alternative is) but on highway is fine. As the weather cools now in September in Canada I've been wearing everyday and have never been cold yet. Zippers are all YKK (quality zipper name brand). Only complaint is wish there was a little strap attached to zippers for easier access, particularly with gloves on. The pant to jacket zipper is large and sturdy but the possible weak point is the material attached to jacket which is a spandex type material (appears to be well stitched and a double layer of the material). The CE protection padding is soft foam like material (not hard shell). Some of comments I read before purchase stated that this is not actually CE approved. Can't comment as to whether they are or not, but they do feel like they will provide adequate protection. I have yet to deal with a serious rain storm, so can't comment on waterproofing, but they are definitely wind proof and the mild rain I have ridden in had 0 issues. **Pants** Ordered pants 2 sizes too big due to availability and comments saying to purchase 1 size up to fit over jeans. The result is a length that is fine with boots on (and quite long without). However, the knee protection ends up being below the knee when standing tall. When sitting on my sport-touring bike however (knees bent 90°) they fit over the knees perfectly... the protection that offers in accident is yet to be determined (hopefully never). Pants only have 2 airflow vents and not breathable (assuming that's for the water/wind proof/resistant feature). Can be a little slippery on the seat. Tends to slide forward (sport touring bike) particularly when braking. **Jacket** Ordered large which is my size, but possibly a little tight fitting depending on how you like your gear to fit, specifically in the neck. Feels kind of small in front and normal in back. With a t-shirt under it's fine, but a second later really puts a lot of pressure on front of neck area. Overall this jacket is quite tight in neck area (specifically the front) on me, but otherwise fits. Only real complaint, and something I hope they change in future models is the velcro neck strap (above zipper, top of jacket). This should seriously be a button and will never buy another jacket with this design. The velcro can scratch neck, catch any material around it like the dangling part of your helmet strap and neck gaits (which is basically required with this jacket due to the velcro). AGAIN, MESSAGE TO MANUFACTURERS/DESIGNERS (HWK), MAKE THE NECK STRAP A BUTTON!!! My model has 4 vents front and a large vent in back. It is warm with them all open, and warmer with vents closed for those cool night drives back home after a day of sweating in it in the sun. Have not really had to use the liner yet and as stated above it is starting to cool considerably in September in Canada. Padding seems to fit properly. All stitching seems to be well done, with no issues so far, particularly on the velcro parts which is usually first point of failure. RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR QUALITY PROTECTIVE RIDING GEAR FOR A GOOD PRICE. Note that this gear is quite hot, so best for cooler days. Also highly recommend buying pants and jacket together as they zip together which may be highly underrated feature to anyone that hasn't thought about it, and look very good as a 2 pc suit. This product gets 5 stars for doing exactly what it's supposed to - high quality, well made and designed (minus front of neck being tight and velcro instead of button there) and priced to provide incredible value.

Son premier point fort : le look + confort J’ai acheté les HWK Dual Sport Motorcycle Pants pour mes sorties route/gravier et je suis vraiment séduit. La coupe est correcte, les réglages (taille, genoux/chevilles) fonctionnent bien, et les zips latéraux permettent de passer les bottes sans galère. Protection & matériaux : excellent pour le tarif. Le tissu extérieur est renforcé sur les zones d’impact et ils sont dotés de protections CE aux genoux et hanches. En plus, ils sont annoncés comme « water-resistant/windproof » mais pas convaincu encore a la grosse pluie. Ils conviennent pour la route comme pour des pistes plus légères : j’ai roulé dans des conditions variables et je les ai trouvés fiables. Le fait d’avoir de la ventilation (zips air-flow) est un plus pour les journées plus chaudes.

Awesome pants. A little tight but I guess I will start walking the dogs more.

HWK Textile Motorcycle Riding Pant; Waterproof/All-Weather with CE Armor, Black 2X (Waist38''-40'' Inseam32'') Bank for the buck (9/10): For under $50, you have an absolute winner, but these pants could even compete head to head with ones priced 2 to 3 times higher. GREAT DEAL - Compare with pants in the $80-120 range. Customer Service (8/10): The shipping took only a few days. No problems at all. Build/Construction (8/10): The material and craftsmanship on this garment all seem top shelf. I would not normally expect this level of quality for this price point. Zippers are large and sturdy, and the 600D Cordura fabric is well made. Protection & Durability (7/10): The CE armor appears adequate for the knees but tends to ride up on the lower thigh while riding. Adjustable knee armor pockets would be a good idea, but like I said - $50. The hip armor is a bit small and I would like to see it provide more protection, but I have that opinion about most riding pants, and it is the same in others I have that cost 3 times as much. Features (8/10): I have not had the chance to test its waterproof ability in the rain, but it appears that it will do well in this area. Pockets work well. Comfort (8/10): The pants fit well and has just the right amount of flexibility in the Cordura material while still feeling substantial. They are not extremely comfortable in the heat of mid-summer. Style (9/10): They definitely look like riding pants, but are conservative and not overly flashy. In my mind, this is a good thing. Fit (9/10): Fit is true. I ordered my normal jean/dress pant size and the fit is roomy but not too loose. I have used both as an overpant, layering with jeans and by themselves. They work well both way with adjustable waist. Then length is perfect when walking, but they tend to pull up a bit too much when riding, which also seems to place the knee armor on the lower thigh and not right on the knee. Too bad they do not have armor adjusting pockets. Air Flow (3/10): There is not much airflow in this pant, even with all vents unzipped/open. This is not a true 4-seaon pant, and I will not use it for high summer riding. The ventilation should work well between day and night riding in the Spring and Fall. Additional Advice: Buy both the jacket and the pants and end up with a great riding suite for under $100.
