I have those 'pants' - they're ok i guess but it occurs to me they'd be better suited for soccer and football - don't know how well the padding will stay in place if/when i crash.  Tolerable in humid heat as long as you're moving ( great for layering in the winter though).

And mine don't have a fly  (did i get the girl's version?  lol)

Overpriced for what u get though.  although good quality.

I have Joe Rocket Alter Ego pants. I like them and they aren't too bad in the 100+ degree weather we had last week in LA (at freeway speeds).

I have a pair of Fieldsheer 4 seasons pants.

With the quilted liner in they are good down to Hi 30's F.

With the liner out they are good for the 100+ days we get here in Okla.

They have a mesh panel on the shin and the thigh area. the rest is solid textile.

Be Safe.

Rode today in 25C weather, very comfy with panels out.
