Nice pant, but doesn’t fit like Trail pant
I like this pant, it is really comfortable and light. But I wish it fit like the regular Trail pants. These are too tight.

My favorite pant
A stunning combination of fabric and fit makes these my new favorite pant. I bought these as casual pants not for riding and I love the light weight breathable fabric and the structured fit. The details are brilliant - elastic cuffs with a facing to prevent chaffing, pocket placement and size are perfect for a iPhone 13 Pro Max and the waist synch offers nice micro fit adjustment.

Perfect 5-if they just add front pockets.
These are my first pair of mtb riding pants. So far I have only worn them for bike park days, but I’m really looking forward to wearing them for fall riding as well. I’ve actually been surprised how much I’ve enjoyed wearing them for riding, they do a great job of protecting against tree branches and bushes and yet feel pretty weightless. Giving 5 stars because I’d like it if they had front pockets like the lightweight trail shorts. Definitely will pick up another pair in another color when on sale.

Good pants.
Good Pants. I use them for MTB riding, confortable, but the fit is a bit awkward. Have used them for hikes and good for such purpose also, except for lack of many pockets.

Great pants
I bought these for my boyfriend & he loves them! He says the weight of the fabric is just right. And his butt looks great in them.

Size/fit issue for me
Bought size small (having a 30 inch waist) but feels big. I need to really use the adjustable waistband to tightened which make the rest of the fit looks weird around the hips. Quality of the material is really good. The pockets on the sides also nicely position. Too bad about the fit. If I was to buy again will try XS.

Pricey but very very nice design and qulaity
Best trousers I found so far. They are lightweight and the material is super comfortable. The cut fits like a glove and the design is just amazing. I counted three different panel materials (breathable between the leg, stronger around the ankle, stretchy on the knees, etc.). Really nice, well thought product, and even thought the price is steep (but the quality is there), I bought two, (one on sale at 1/2 price). The dark blue one can easily be worn off the bike and no one will notice it is a bike pants. The blue one on the other hand, is visible 5 miles out! If I had to find something to nag about, I am not too keen on the plastic buttons, but they feels sturdy. Repair patches provided (nice touch!). The pocket are designed and work very well for bike use, but placement/orientation is a bit odd for everyday use. I am 1.80m and 78 kg, the M fit nicely.

Best lightweight trail pant
Best trail pants I’ve owned to date. I’ve tried many brands but non offer the combination of durability, lightweight, freedom of movement as these. I was so impressed I purchased two pair.

Love the Fit and Feel
Just got these this week and have been wearing them around the house and town. I bought these for the summer months when the regular pants were too heavy & hot. So far the fit and quality seems to be on par with the regular version. The pants bend and stretch well and the weight seems as if it will be perfect for summer riding. I’ll post an update after riding this summer.

Amazing pants but the RHS pocket could be improved
I love most things about these pants. The fit, weight, comfort, adjustability and stretch are all awesome. The only thing I don't love is the shape and size of the right side pocket - things are really hard to access (it's deep) and the zipper opening is simply too small for my hand. It would be amazing if the right pocket mimicked the left.

These pants… simply amazing.
I’m a bibs guy… when it gets cold, I’m a bibs and tights guy. A friend had these and I thought they looked cool, so I hunted and found them and decided to give them a try. Now I’m a Rapha pants guy. These things are awesome. I thought I’d need something warmer, but so far this mild winter hasn’t warranted anything else. They are incredible.

Get your sexy Flanders on
Extremely comfortable and fit perfectly. Lightweight and holding up well after several mountain bike rides and some gravel rides. Haven’t got too hot wearing them but the rides have been in temperatures between 2-12degrees centigrade. I wasn’t sure on the colour but I now love the gold.

Excellent for warm weather!
Lovin these pants!, I own 3 pair. I wanted something I can wear in a warmer weather to keep the ticks and overgrowth off. So far Ive worn them in upper 80's and felt great.
Extremely lightweight and durable with a great stretch. I wear full knee and shin guards under these with no issues.
The phone pocket is perfect, I i use a Samsung S22 which is fairly large and fits snuggly into the secondary pocket, absolutely perfect.
The fit is excellent and does not seem to run small like many others.

These pants make you ride faster
I bought these pants for my husband. He can now ride trails faster and jump higher.
My only concern is he now spends are time at the mountain bike park and at home the lawns are still not attended to.

Great Design
I actually bought these pants more for bikepacking than for mtn biking, I thought the design and look of the pant was more of what I was searching for as opposed to the Explore pant. Regardless, I have used them for mtn biking in 38 degree F temperatures and they felt totally fine. They are slim but completely unrestrictive to your movement and are very comfortable. I was not wearing knee pads with them, so I can’t speak to that design element. Overall, pretty happy with the investment.

Light pants for all-condition
I've worn these pants only once but they performed exactly as intended. They are by far the lightest pants I own. The fit is great. I can't comment on durability just yet.

Short leg
Feel great but come up short. I’m 6”4 and probably need an extra 2 inches on the leg. I’d typically wear a 34” leg Levi for context.
They feel great though.

No idea of the pants are good because it’s been impossible to arrange for a size exchange.

Good for almost everything
They are generally nice outdoor pants that can be used for hiking, biking and most sport. They look pretty stylish if you like the slim tapered look . I think these pants would suit slim people the best. They are like the old generation randonnee trousers but a little more stretchy and tapered so I prefer them. I ordered small and I am 66kg 179cm. They fit round the waist just. Medium maybe be ok for me too but I don’t like baggy.

Perfect for hiking
Bought these specifically for hiking rather than cycling; and can definitely recommend it. I normally wear XS bibs and these were a perfect fit. The pocket on the left thigh fits a larger phone and is perfectly located so that the phone bulge doesn't get in the way of your movement, especially while doing steeper climbs.
Pants are lightweight and comfortable, even on colder days (10 to 15 degrees celcius).

Lightweight it is...
So far deep winter up north so not tested on bike, but they fit great and true to size, fabric is light, and quality feels reassuring high. Not sure about the positioning of the pockets, might feel more correct sitting on a bike rather than a chair. But anyway the largest phone feels like a stretch fitting... Wear and tear resistance remains to be seen, but in worst case repair patches provided.

Great light pants
4 stars since it did not have the same latch as the Men's trail pants. This one has a plastic snap on to close the waist. Other than that it is pretty light and you can still wear on temp ranging from 50's to 30's.

Great overall trail pants
Great overall pants for someone taller. The Right pocket is very deep which isn't great for keys but is awesome for a phone. They breathe great and move well while on the bike. Only real problem is they are tight in the upper thighs. I don't think I would be able to wear a bigger size since I am already swimming in the waist. Still way better than any other pants on the market.

They work for me
I love the cut and fit of these..bought 3 pairs.
When people say great fit it has no meaning - we’re all different sizes. But medium works very well for me. I like the thin stretchy material and they are so light to pack. Used them on a bike trip to Spain as off-bike change. In low temperatures I wore long johns under. In all other cases they are fine on their own.
