Freewheel Ride Pant - Men's

Comfortable Ride

Great pants for rides and relaxing in between. Material moves with you and the cut is comfortable for a wide range of athletic activities. Has an appropriate amount of pockets and overall just a great bike pant. Having worn these for shorter experiences I am looking forward to bringing them on a weeklong bike tour in Japan. Great pants and suggest them for anyone regardless of riding experience levels.

Good, could be great

I agree with another reviewer, the concept is great. I like the fabric and construction, but for the price I would expect to be able to buy with waist and inseam size.

Really like these biking pants

Good fit and function. Comfortable. Wear well Only issue is right zipper pocket is hard to get my hand into because opening is small.

Perfect fit!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I purchased these pants to use on a backcountry bike packing trip. The early morning temperatures were in the high 30’s. They were warm and the fit was great. I typically ride with shorts with a chamois liner and these pants had plenty of adjustment to make them very comfortable.

Great pants

While I normally wear bibs while riding, in certain situations I prefer these over any of the longer bibs I own. These are a bit more water resistant and even when they do get wet I don't have that wet layer quite as close to my skin. I like the pocket layout a lot and feel they did a great job with the little details and the material choices. If it's going to be a wet, muddy ride, these are my typical choice.

Exceeded expectations

Bought these a few months ago and absolutely love them. Planning on picking up another pair soon. I've used these for downhill MTB at a bike park and the pants leave plenty of space to put in knee pads without feeling tight. Size fits great, I'm a regular weight lifter and have thicker legs and I have no problem wearing them. I also love the zip up pant cuff, as my size 12 feet can get in and out of these tapered pants with ease. I can also put on knee pads without removing my pants first. Phenomenal pants, highly recommend.

Awesome pants

They pants are comfortable, stretchy and hold my cell phone and keys. These pants are for cooler days on the trail. They don’t get you too hot and wick away sweat very efficiently

Comfy and Durable

I really like the fit of these pants. Tight enough to not be in the way when riding, yet not so tight that it looks like I'm trying to pull off a look that wouldn't be great for me. Had a fairly high speed crash in these on pavement and they literally saved my skin. The only road-rash I had was a small spot on a knee where I hit the ground, and even then it was more of a friction burn than road rash. The pants were no worse for the wear. The fall did not create any holes or even much abrasion on the pants. They also hold up on the trail. I live in raspberry country and the thorns catch the material but it's held up real well. The pants worked well enough for me that my wife went out and bought herself a pair for her rides.

Tights? Never Again

I bought a pair right before our Utah MTB trip due to cooler temps. Great slim fit but not like tights. Cut well for riding and look great. Easy to move back off the saddle and back on without a hitch. Perfect pocket for my phone. Love ‘em!
