Ordered my normal waist size and they fit as expected. Slightly baggy, but perfect for holding the padding and sitting on the bike. Adjust knee pads and all is good.

Comfortable, not too heavy for riding pants and overall good looking. Highest temp so far was 80 degrees and they were not hot. I took away one star due to knee protection rubbing on lower knees when walking. Softer material would have been better. Due to weight and having a belly, I do have to use suspenders with them, but I do that on all my riding pants (Kimber sidearm adds to the weight on my belt as well 😉

I am 6’0″ and 155lbs. I got the 32 regular and they look great. As expected they are a bit long when I’m off the bike, but on the bike they ride up and are a bit short. The even ride up above my ankles and boots when on the bike. I may buy the 32 long jeans as well so they fit better in long rides. I share this to contrast with the other reports of the jeans being too long. It’s a challenge with riding jeans since they need to be long to fit right on the bike if you bend your knees, but then they are long standing off the bike. Always a trade off..
As the others mentioned the pads are high quality and it’s amazing how these are so protective and yet don’t look bulky or baggy. Very good looking style. I didn’t think it was possible for riding jeans to look this good. They are fitted and don’t have some cheesy neon logo on the butt like other motorcycle pants.
The price is steep but it’s a good value if you want both great protection and good style.

These pants have great reviews and after wearing it I can see why people think so highly of them. First off, there’s protection for knees, hip, and tailbone. Second, the fabric itself seems extremely durable and there is an inner lining so your skin doesn’t stick to the outside denim. Lastly, these are a bit on the heavier side, but that is the trade off for having protection.
Now, the only gripe I have about these wonderful pants is sizing. I really wish they had more sizes available, specifically the inseam. I’m a 32W x 30L on my regular jeans and the fit is perfect around the hips and thighs but the jeans are too damn long and baggy at the bottom. I’m 5’8 190 LB for perspective. I’m looking into getting it tapered and hemmed but I wouldn’t trust these jeans with a regular tailor due to the complex nature of it. Besides that, the jeans are seriously great and if you have the opportunity to try them on before you buy make sure you get the right size. I knew it was going to be long because Klim has a sizing chart on their website that displays the respective inseam with the width. However, it was still longer and baggier than expected.

I was impressed by the quality and the fit was exceptional. I tried these out on a short excursion and they went over my boots well and felt well protected.

This is my second pair of K-52 riding jeans. They’re comfortable, obviously provide good protection, very well made, look good, and fit well. Simply the best.

The first thing I noticed when I took this product out of the bag was how soft it was. When I put it on, the fit felt like I had already broken it in. A very comfortable motorcycle jeans with the proven quality and durability of Klim. You get the YKK zippers and D30 in the hips and knees (tailbone protection too!) that you can barely feel, especially as they warm up and conform to your body. The pads never felt like they shifted too dramatically while moving around. There is some slight shifting but I’ve dropped down on my knees and on my hips a couple times to test and felt that the pads stayed in place and provided the right protection. They don’t feel overly heavy for motorcycle jeans and the mobility is amazing given how protective they are. I ordered my usual size 34 and the fit was good, a little roomy but nothing a belt can’t tighten up. The length (i’m 5’10) for a size 34 was spot on. I wasn’t thrilled about the exorbitant price for these jeans but after putting them on I understand where the money was spent and absolutely love these things. Did I mention that NO ONE will know they’re motorcycle jeans? They look exactly like a pair of straight leg Levi’s without that baggy look. If you are skeptical because of the price point, don’t be. Well worth the cost to look normal while riding but also have excellent protection.

These fit like any other jeans of the same measure. The armor pads feel like good quality. The jeans are heavy, but comfortable enough to wear all day. The knee pads droop below my knees if I am walking, which is somewhat annoying, but they are in the right place while seated. They legs are 3 or 4 inches long, to leave room for a tailored hem, which you will probably need. Despite the armor, they look just like regular jeans. Very nice!
