Iron Workers Kevlar Riding Pants

[Capt_Zoom]

Anybody have any experience with the Iron Workers Kevlar Riding Pants by BILT?  $109

I wear Shift Kevlar pants when I ride but have been looking for some for the wife.  They make the Iron Workers one's for women.

No experience with them but I looked them up.  They seem pretty sturdy with the Kevlar lining.  Found them on cyclegear.com for $69.99 until tomorrow I think.  Here's the link:

They seem nice.  Not as heavy as my shift one's.  Tried to talk the wife into them but I think she's leaning toward chaps instead.

My only experience is with Draggin' Jeans.  I look around for discounted or closeout prices.  They also have women's styles.

Those look nice.  I'll run those by her as well.  Thanks.

Hi!!  I have the Draggin jeans for women, and I will tell you right now they are the most uncomfortable jeans out there.  The thighs are very tight, and the waist sits very high, above the navel type of high.  They ride low in the back and rise in the front when I ride, the exact opposite of what they should do.  Now, for the record, I am 5'9", and do weightlifting, so while I am not huge by any means, the pants are just too tight around the thighs for me.  To get a pair to fit properly, I have to order 2 sizes up from what I typically wear.  Depending on what size your wife wears, I have a size 10 pair (brand new with tags still on them, never worn) that I would send her to try.  If she liked them, they are hers.  If this sounds ok, just pm me and let me know!!!  I hope she finds a pair that she likes.  Chaps are ok, but they are really hot, and a pain in the ass when we (women) have to goto the bathroom, take them off, and put them back on....  lmao

hmmm never thought of the bathroom thing.  I'll have to talk to her about that...same goes for the heat...its kinda hot here in Baton Rouge for us since we're used to riding in Minnesota.  Personally I prefer kevlar pants over chaps.

Have you tried the SHift brand one's.  They didn't fit my wife but might fit you.  Nice cut, comfortable ( I have two pair of the men's one's) and they breath better than other's I've tried.

No, I haven't.  Will check them out though.  The most comfortable pair I have ever had were from Shift, the Shift Silhouette jeans...but of course they quit making them!!  This pic is I have on the Shift jeans, and to show my relative size as far as the Draggin jeans.
