 [evil] Okay, I picked up those pants, and they were the wrong size.  [bang]  [laugh] My bad.
I did take them back and reorder the Mediums a week and half ago.   [coffee]


These pants were SO worth the headaches and 8 weeks.   [thumbsup]  [thumbsup]  [thumbsup]
Excellent craftmanship.  Seriously, I know tailoring and these are VERY well made.

I look hot.   ;D  No seriously.  ;D  I picked them up after lunch kickboxing and took them back to the office today. I traded my Icon Jeans for these for the ride home.  I was told by all men in my office, these were sick, and I looked hot, and they were by far the coolest looking women's pants they'd seen.  They actually appreciated the lack of tassle, flower and buckle stuff.  The detailing is sharp.  REALLY great design.

They fit like a comfortable glove.  They've got the female lower back/butt/thigh shape down and it's cut into the waist so they lay VERY well against the lowerback, almost hugging.  Perfect length, perfect sizing mechanisms for personalization.  REAL nice removable liner.
Hip and knee armour.  Extra abrasion protection in the right areas. Quilted padding for the shin.  I feel safer in these.

I wore them with my Alpinestar track boots around the office for about 30 minutes.  Sat at my desk and worked, wondered around.
They are very comfortable to "live" in as well.  (In case you end up hanging at a meetup or such, you'll be quite comfortable)

The acid test of course was the ride home.  I don't sit still on my bike, I search for every reason to throw my bike into a nice twist.  I've been known to go completely out of my way just to gain a handful.  That being said...wearing these pants while riding is hard to discribe.  I didn't notice them at all.  There was no "cutting" feeling while in tuck.  No flapping of unnecessary material.  The air movement was so excellent they are FAR more comfortable in 96 degree 65% humidity than jeans could ever be.  These are completely and utterly comfortable. 

Final thought on sizing.  I bought the Small.  (wishful thinking LOL)   5'6" 125lbs.  With a 30-31 waist I should have known to get the Medium.  So if your waist size is on the border of the chart, go UP ONE.  You'll be fine.   [moto]   

I'm going to order the other color variation of the Savanah's ASAP.

Absolutely EXCELLENT product.
