Cheap, I am on the look out for a pair of bike jeans myself so I will be interested in your opinion of them when they arrive.

My concerns would be with the stitching rather than the amount of or quality of the Kevlar pieces, does the knee armour come included?

seller has ZERO feedback, don't think i'd like to be someone guinea pig

jimspeed · World Chat Champion Joined: 05 Mar 2010 Karma :

yea but everyone has to start somewhere. I had zero feed back once and be honest as a buyer using paypal its pretty much gaurenteed to either get a refund etc if it doesn't turn up etc..
I'll let folk know what they are like when I get em and try them out (hopefully not get to test the kevlar bit tho )

That'll be interesting. I bought a pair of Hood jeans for around £90 which use para-amid or something, instead of Kevlar. After about six months the denim is starting to wear and a couple of holes have formed in places. I'm sure the lining is fine but I'm annoyed by the jeans bit!

Well I hope they turn out alright but if you buy cheap, you get cheap at the end of the day!

Ahh Road Masters..I bought a pair of them about 5 months ago and so far they seem pretty good.
The only fault was the rivet button, it came off (and not because the jeans were too tight!). I just put my own on, nothing else has gone wrong and the stitching seems okay.
That being said I haven't had an off on them, and the stitching could go after a few months more, can't tell but seems solid enough.
The button may have been just a dodgy batch rather than a brand issue, but even so..I picked them up for less than £30 at the time so putting my own button on was no issue.
I'm going to leave it until next year and if they hold out that long I'll buy more Smile

A cheap brand I will fully endorse is Mohar I crashed in a pair of them and no road rash Very Happy

Can't find a UK supplier now though Sad

Well they look really good, I'm on the look out for a pair myself.
Hope they are ok Thumbs Up

Right,

Not only have the items received POS feedback, they are also available in custom sizes ... and back in stock NOW ...you just have contact the seller and state waist and leg lenght ....

These WILL go QUICK .... i have had to buy a pair as a must ...

I think the seller has found a market to exploit in the current climate, perhaps buying Kevlar in bulk and making them himself ..

Basically in your preffered size, new and delivered for just a tad over 40 quid ... hop on BCF ... Cool

I think the margins are pretty low as it is, with fees / paypal to boot ... and they sell out in days for a reason, especially now feedback is there ....

However ... months of use may show them in a bad light .. who knows ... Idea

So you are the seller and have no other interest in this forum other than spamming your wares?

Relentless · Banned Joined: 27 Nov 2010 Karma :

Why would i say they could fall apart in months if i was the seller ....

BCF members like me, may want to take a punt at 40 quid, as on many occasions, lugging my bulky textile bottoms is no good for a shortish journey to a night out ....

With these, i'm gona wear some thermals under them, and the textiles will be for longer journeys, awkward bloody things .. Idea
