OUCH CANADA! -- Gorgeous product, beefy stretch denim, semi-pebbled black leather with a nice thickness to it, cleverly constructed, and a forgiving fit -- I got a 16 and it's stretchy enough for riding but not baggy when I'm just walking around. Got the longer leg and sure enough, the knee-pad pockets hold them BELOW my knee at my shin, but I can fix that with a little quick hand sewing. I will construct a second pocket out of Tshirt material, and add some velcro dots to keep it closed, also.
The serious negative here is the "sticker shock". Price on sale was $245 US...after adding exchange, shipping and MasterCard's bite, this converted to $360.29 Cdn. Okay. Then UPS -- and there was no alternate shipping method offered, just UPS -- socked me for another $47.12 for "customs" duty, 5% GST, and a completely bogus $25 "brokerage" fee, surprise!!! Real result: these pants actually cost me $407.41 Cdn. Thank god they were on sale, cause that's 1.67% of the inital (very attractive) price. Yowwwch!
Please, ATWYLD, offer another, slower way to ship to Canada, 'cause FedEx and UPS engage in this border piracy routinely. And we're already getting killed on the dollar exchange. Option B: I'd love to see you set up a Canadian dealer and website. Judging by these pants, you make really good gear!! Ride on!

The pants are amazing and the quality is exceptionally good

Great fit. Not too skinny of a jean. Great leather protection in front. Pads are adjustable!

As someone sporting curves, I ordered by my largest measurement. Fortunately these pants have an inch or two of stretch and I could return the size I originally bought for a smaller pair that better fit my waist and inseam. There is still some buckle in the waist, but nothing a snug belt can't fix. The leather is soft and sturdy, with no marks left by my nails trying to get the knee armor in the right spot. Love them!

These are beautiful and comfortable and arrived very quickly.

I just love these pants. They have stretch, but maintain their shape. Comfortable enough to wear on a plane from Pennsylvania to california and ride when I got there! I wear them often, they look amazing (especially with my atwyld jackets)!!! It's also nice to be able to put the armor in when I want the added protection. Atwyld is the absolute BEST for women's riding gear. These pants are next level.

I love these pants!!! So comfortable and good-looking. I received them yesterday and could hardly wait to get out for a ride in them. The fit is perfect, exactly as what was on the site sizing chart. I can tell already that these will be my super favourites. Worth every penny - even with foreign exchange into Canadian dollars.

Holy goodness - amazing gear!
~Aesthetics -- I can get away with dressing them up to wear at work they're super stylish
~HIGH RISE! - have another pair of expensive boutique riding jeans but they are cut crazy low - not flatter or comfortable -- speaking of...
~SO comfortable! The high rise held me in, but did not ride up while seated (I've worn other high rise riding - and they are typically "pinchy" to be frank haha) ... they actually make my seat more comfortable due to cut and thickness of pant
~safety - yup yup yup!!
~Incredible customer service was an added bonus - I made a mistake in returns resulting in convoluted scenario (zero fault on ATWLYD's end!!), and Corinne couldn't have been more lovely and gracious in assisting with resolution - seriously above and beyond!!
{stats.... I'm 5'5" , 125ish lbs (a size or so smaller upper body than lower) - Shred in 28 are perfect fit!}

I can't rave about these jeans enough! I live in the Northeast where our riding season gets pretty chilly & these jeans keep me warm on the cooler days. It's so refreshing that there is FINALLY a product that incorporates safety & style. The craftsmanship is beautiful — you may assume that jeans featuring leather would be stiff, but these jeans have a good stretch to them. Whenever I'm riding my motorcycle I instantly feel more safe wearing these jeans — especially with the protective padding inserts. I HIGHLY recommend!

These are the absolute best fitting, most durable, highly protective, classy riding pants I’ve ever worn.
Protection is job one as far as I’m concerned and these jeans have the reinforcement in all the right places.
Comfort is next on the list for me. I’ve worn my jeans several days in a row, while on Moto trips, on day 10 they fit just as perfectly as day 1.
They never get baggy and out of shape. They conform to my body perfectly.
Style is also important to me and you can see for yourself, these are very flattering. I highly recommend these riding jeans. If mine ever wear out I will buy another pair. I’ve had mine for two years and l’m pretty hard on them but they are holding up really well!
They are that good!

I’m a huge fan of these pants because they check every box that’s important for me: they’re comfortable, protective, and look amazing. I wasn’t expecting them to feel so good on since they are quite thick but the jean has the perfect amount of stretch so it hugs without squeezing. The thickness makes me feel safe and protected and I am much more comfortable and relaxed on my bike when I’m wearing them. I even slid in the dirt in them. They were not damaged, only had minor scratches on the leather and I walked away with just a few bruises and zero cuts or bleeding where if I were wearing regular jeans they for sure would have been completely torn up. Also the style is simply perfect. The pants make your legs look super long and the placement of the leather makes me feel like I’m wearing some sexy thigh highs. First prize pant! Thank you, Atwyld!

These are like my super hero pants! Riding with these on gives me more peace of mind while on the freeways or dirt roads with all the armored protection, butter leather front leg panels/back pockets (huge design points since I'm not into wearing chaps.), engineered knee sections and stretchy denim to allow for comfort & flexibility. All weather feels like a breeze & flying pebbles feel like nothing. I'm a short stack but I can easily cuff them around my ankles, hey any added ankle protection works for me. Extremely well made inside and out. The overall fit is cozy & fits my curvy hips without exposing my lower back when riding forward. They are definitely worth the value when you think about all the elements out there...having this extra peace of mind can make your ride more enjoyable. Riding protected is just added insurance...be safe out there!

These are my go-to pants whenever I have big miles ahead of me! My pair of Shred jeans are two years old — you'd never know by the look of them. The extra stretch hugs my curves and makes long rides comfortable, and the front panelling protects me from the wind! Shred for life!
