I found these while searching the interwebs for a good pair of summer pants. I was first toying with getting over pants from rev’it, similar to my winter pants, but with large mesh panels. This would mean i would need two layers in the summer which is not really appealing, and they would be white, which would be more obvious then my black winter over pants.

I really refuse to ride without armor and protection. I know that a spill is inevitable and i want to give my body its best chance. I researched jeans from rev’it, but the reviews weren’t great. specifically regarding where the knee pads position against the riders knees.

So, again, i found these Shovel-K jeans, after weeks of random searching. What turned me on about it was that i could remove the knee pads without taking my pants off. This appeals to me because of how many stops i make on an average work day. I imagined riding to a client, parking my bike, quickly removing my knee pads and storing them in the side case. Going up to my client in somewhat normal looking jeans. I would look more normal then i do in the winter with my black over pants. Read on for close up photos and my thoughts…
