Was looking for a protective everyday pant to wear 8+ hours at work. I have a pretty short commute, about 5 miles through town, and was getting tired of changing into and out of my riding gear twice a day for the 15 minute trip. I tried the K52 riding jeans (which are excellent) but found them a bit too warm to wear in the summer months. These, however, are the business! They are super comfy, just like my beloved Levi's 501's, except a bit stretchy. Now I am super comfortable at work and can hop on a bike without feeling unprotected. Regular denim has virtually zero abrasion resistance but these jeans should hold up to an encounter with pavement.

love these jeans!! pricey but worth every penny! getting my second pair now!
