Klim K Forty 2 Riding Jeans. Worth The Money????

I bought these on FC-Moto who seem to ship everywhere on earth. Revzilla is Great for North America.
As of filming this, most sizes in most places are out of stock, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Today is 40°c, and you could, but keep it to the mid/lower 30s. 12°c is the coldest theyare comfortable. But with rain pants underneath and merino wool leggings under those, I'm warm down to 0°c. Knee-pad issue: Walking, standing, sitting in a chair all is well. BUT! Sitting on the bike, the pants rotate inward. Wife has the same issue. Still cover knee cap but barely. 70% of the pad is inside the leg/knee. The only solution is the grab the knee pad and pull it to the outside or pre-twist the pants outward and do this every time you put you leg down.... not amazing in stop and go traffic... Might sew a new knee-armor pocket in a better position but this is not great at this price point. I doubt it's a a malfunction since we both have identical issues. Design flaw? What I think I figured out is as you slide forward into the tank, that is rolling the knees inward. So if you sit on the bike but first slide the butt down and lift the crotch a bit, that keeps everything in the correct spot

Those jeans look good. I almost have full gear as of now, helmet(HJC), mesh jacket(RST) with removable thermal liner for winter and two sets of gloves(one for winter and the other for summer/rest of seasons). The only piece of equipment I'm missing are some good riding pants, as I don't think I will be putting the money towards dedicated riding boots. Here in Europe those same Klim pants cost around 240 euros I saw some other pants by brands like Alpinestars for around 150 euros. Do you think that pants around that price range are any good? Or is it worth it to pay the extra 100 euros for something like the Klim? Is there any difference?

[@kairyurider]

Klim is usually a higher quality in my experience, but if I ride 10,000km in a year that’s a short year for me. So if you ride less then alpine stars is good. The big thing to compare is that these are single layer which is more comfortable and breathable, and this is double a rated. What country do you live and what’s your average speed? Top speed? That will help you pick how much you need to spend. I’ve never seen a double A under 200€ and for single layer there are actually a relatively good deal as double A

@@kairyurider Those are some very good points. I live in Portugal, speed limit here are between 50km/h inside the cities and 120km/h in the highways. I don't ride everyday, only during weekends or on small trips and I usually don't go very fast as I like to cruise at slower speeds. Probably will be getting something around that 100 euro price point like the Alpine stars. Probably a good call since it will give me good enough protection for the speed I ride. Plus I can't really justify going a lot higher than that for the shorter amount of riding I do. I will comment in the future whenever I finally pull the trigger on that. Thank you for the feedback!

@@mvieira13 anything is better than nothing, 8 years after a crash in jeans and my right knee feels it every time it rains. If you are not to worried about fashion look into mesh pants, cheap usually strong, the most important thing is CE armor. CE 1 soft armor or whatever comes free in the pants will surely be good for you
