Seen some rayven chicane leather pants, as I'm not too confident in the protection offered by my textiles.
The spec is something like "Quality 1.4mm cowhide, CE protectors at knees, elasticated back & side panels, vented rear knee" etc.

They look fairly decent, have all the right spec, and for £60 quid new must be a total bargain. Does anybody here have any experience of them, and are they recommended for the cash? Wink

It could be the terrible way they are photographed on the APEX ebay shop, but they look horrible Confused

You'd be far better off going into a shop and trying on one's that actually fit you well. £60 is cheap, but another £20 or £30 could get you something a whole lot better, which would be worth it in the long run.

If you insist on buying online, then 2nd hand on ebay will be something far better quality.

Fit, however, is everything.

In my experience, Rayven make cheap, shoddy tat. Avoid at all costs. Thumbs Down Thumbs Down Thumbs Down

I've got rayven gloves.

Comfortable, waterproof enough for what I paid, warmish, stood up well enough to crashes.

Adequate, nothing more, nothing less.
