Torrent Over Pant

Quality of materials and look is good. Major flaw is armor retention system which is virtually useless. The knee pads ride and wear on the entire inside of the legs. No protection whatsoever. I modified with some adhesive-backed velcro so I wouldn't ruin the Goretex but the the pads still don't go over far enough to cover my knees--on or off the bike. Not bad pants but so completely failed to meet my expectations that i cannot recommend them.

I have the same issue with the knee protectors as the other review. In the riding position they are on the inside (can't put them on pavement as curb feelers :) ). Other than that they are great pants. I have been using them since December through the cold and rain and into the warmer weather and they have performed great. I needed a pant that I could wear over dress pants or jeans on a daily basis. I have over 7000 miles and four months of riding.

Like very much, but zippers are starting to fail. They are such fine mesh. The pads do not line up with knees and are off center. Needs adjustment left to right.

For those of you that are having problems with your Torrent Pants, you need to call Kilm Customer Care. This company has hand down the best customer care in the industry. I had a Badlands Jacket in which my arms were getting wet (I had worn it for 2 years). They tested it confirmed it leaked and sent me a new one. They should do the same thing for the protection not fitting correctly.

These pants are great for wind protection and easy to take on and off. But the knee pads are the only problem. my suggestion is to get a tall size. this helped me but i cant say the same for all.
