Yep! I've put over 100 miles on them today and they are comfortable! I'm probably going to get 2 more pair.

Oh and I'd match these up against any nylon pants on the market K&K!!!

Red Route does show they have women's armored jeans also. I may have to give cycle gear a call and see if they can get them.

I bet they can! I got mine in the long size which doesn't show up on the website but the customer service guy found them for me no problem. I like the look of my Icon jeans a bit better but these have decent protection with kevlar down the hips, on the ass and knees. The knee armor, I can do without as I have my own. You can't beat them for $70 IMHO.

I have Sidi Vertebras to wear with my leathers. There is too much room around the calves with nothing tucked into them. That's why I'm looking for alternatives.

Those are a work in progress.

I'm trying to get my old calves back. But, being an old man now, it's a slow process.

I'd imagine that the Sidi boots don't adjust as much as the A*...you could get knee armor, mine fits inside the boots so it would take up that space.

Like so,

and so,

And the armor is $60 and would increase your protection level. You could take it and the boots off and put shoes on when you get to work. Problem solved!

SIDI Sport Tepor. High enoug to protect some of the shins, but hug tight against the calves. Has the ankle protection cups. Looks like a pair of casual boots.
