I live near Hickory which is where they are HQ'd so I was able to ride up and try different pairs/styles on and walk out with them which is a good thing.
I have a pair of their utility jeans and also bought the knee/shin armor and have been happy with them.
Are they as "stylish" as my Lee jeans...ok probably not BUT I only wear them when I'm out riding and with kevlar across the butt and around the knees with the CE-rated armor on knees and shin...again...like them alot.
My riding boots and Joe Rocket jacket aren't as "stylish" as my regular clothes either BUT come on...it's riding gear.
