"Great trousers, fit well, adjustable at the waist to tighten or loosen and have some stretch. They don't secure at the foot but they don't flair too much either. Comfortable and warm. Great service by JTS."

"These look like good quality trousers but the sizing is way out. I am 34 - 36 waist and I couldn’t get these trouser on. Such a shame as the leg length would be perfect! "

"Sorry to hear these were a bit small and some customers have gone up a size on these. Might be worth trying the next size up?"

"This is my second pair of trousers from JTS: the first one was bought in 2016 so they served me well for 7/8 years. Always liked the removable linings, although the ankle fixings are a bit vulnerable with boots etc. I melted the instep on one side when riding a scrambler style bike with a high exhaust. Prompt delivery and easy to order on line I visited the store last time and always found customer services helpful. Let's hope this pair lasts as long. PS I ride for Blood Bikes in all seasons and weathers. "

"I grew up in Oz and anything under 20° is bad for your health, might freeze your blood and make your tyres too brittle to ride.. they won't warm up your tyres but these strides will definitely keep you toasty. Long in the leg so no frost bite zone above the boot, lots of adjustments and it's like wearing a downfilled sleeping bag on each leg. I reckon you could sleep on Snowdon in midwinter. Truly awesome and the usual collection of knee pads and hip pads so you can kneel on the ground as you undo your frozen disc lock"

"This is my third pair of JTS fabric leggings. They are hard wearing and seem to last quite a few years. Practical too, in Summer and Winter due to the nice padded removable lining. Fit well (long enough for my 35 leg). They are not the best, more Vstrom than GS, but the Suzuki is a fantastic bike"

"Delighted with my purchase of these textile trousers. Enquired originally about when the 32" long would be in stock and Karen (managing director) quickly responded and advised to go fo the 34" long . Was a bit hesitant to order the 34" as I've got 30" leather JTS jeans which fit me great. Anyway decided to take Karen's advice and ordered...the 34" long leg is a perfect fit ! Really comfortable on and off the bike and long enough to cover most of my Altberg boots. Quality, style and total VFM ! Many thanks Scott"

"Great pair of trousers. I'm 6ft 4 and have a 36 inch inside leg and these fit length wise perfectly. I'm normally a 34 inch waist, but looking at previous reviews i ordered a pair of 36 inch wait trousers and they were a perfect fit. I do recommend these biker trousers."

"Trousers from stock were delivered fast with full tracking information being supplied, ordered a size up which fit really well, extra long ones fix the problem of the gap between top of boot and trouser when your actually on the bike, well made and have a quality feel and finish, should give plenty of protection during winter month's. Thanks Nick"

"As an older and somewhat oversized person, these trousers are ideal for motorcycle touring. They feel warm and strong. The liner is removable for the summer weather. I also like the added protection included. I advise you to buy the additional very comfortable, strong and well=made braces."
25-Aug-2022 Alex McEwan from Scotland
"First off good points these fit true to size especially those of us short in the leg Bad points the text says "CE Approved for PPE - AA Rated" but the label on the trousers say A rated only I bought these because they seemed to be a good buy for the protection level. My other grip is the bottom of the trousers are large when you zip them up with no pop stud or even Velcro to close the gap so you get a nice cool draft up you legs nice in hot weather put not nice in the cooler days"
In reply JTS wrote:
"Thank you for your review Alex. These are AA rated but unfortunately we did have a small quantity that has the incorrect label sewn in. Apologies for this. We will email you a copy of the certificate in the next couple of days to show the AA rating.

"Great quality product, only had them a couple of weeks, but very impressed so far. Not been out in heavy rain yet, but they look like they will keep the weather out. I ordered the extra long leg, and they are a really good length, as I’m 6’4”, and have struggled in the past to find suitable trousers, for a reasonable price. Like others say on the reviews, order a waist size up from normal, and you won’t be disappointed. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend."
29-Apr-2022 Carla Greaves from England
"Really impressed with the service, quality and sizing of these trousers. My 6ft8 boyfriend who would struggle to buy trousers anywhere fits into these brilliantly! He has had to size up (usually a 36inch waist but had to have the 40 inch trousers). He’s told me they are really warm and glad I ordered these on a whim instead of well known brands. "
29-Apr-2022 Eric Millar from Scotland
"Seem well made. I've only had for two weeks and it hasn't rained in that time so time will tell on longevity. I'm 6'6"so finding a manufacturer who do an extra long leg was a godsend. Length is excellent. Waist size is maybe a bit tight so definitely order a size up, I did and they fit just right."
21-Mar-2022 Mark Chandler from UK
"Had to send back and order a bigger size, I did measure first with sweat shirt ect but came up to small. The replacement fits better but still a little tight in the fore arms, which I hope will give. Not used in the rain yet, nice and bright. service first class !"
17-Nov-2021 David Langdon from Gloucestershire
"Very warm and comfortable. Found their sizing a little snug but JTS swapped them for the next size up very promptly. Only slight issues I have is that they slip around more on the saddle of my Pan more than my leather trousers and the fly zip doesn't go down far enough meaning you have to partially disrobe to use the toilet. Haven't been in heavy rain yet but they have done the job with light drizzle."

"Thank you for your comments David. This feature on the zip on the trousers is a necessity to keep them waterproof. Hope it doesn’t cause too many issues!"
16-Nov-2021 Paul Kernohan from UK
"Really pleased with these trousers. The quality is excellent for the money, they fit true to size and the short leg is short what else can I ask for. I look forward to trying out other garments in their range in the future. Oh and the lady I spoke to on the phone was excellent and guided me to the correct product top class thank you. "

"Although 48inch waste the crutch and around the back side was very tight if I had gone to 52 may be if you intend to buy get one or two sizes bigger "

"Sorry to hear this wasn’t a good fit as most people find the sizing on these to be accurate. We are having a another textile trouser called the Tourmax Evo coming next month that will be deeper in the rise, maybe this could be more suitable for you. "

"Overall - Unbeatable bang for your buck The good: - Fantastic price, especially for tall sizing needs - Flexible armour included and customisable fitment - Understated & simple design without logos everywhere The bad: - Waist fitting a bit small, order at least 1 size up - Some stitching around velcro poor - Vents on legs quite small Purchased late March and used for around 400 miles. Not rain tested. Trousers come with JTS flexible hip and knee armour, the pockets where the armour goes has multiple velcro pieces to adjust where the armour sits. On my pair there was a fair amount of loose threads on these inside velcro strips which needed tidied up. Recommend wearing some kind of base layer or the velcro areas will irritate and scratch on knees. Fully lined with thermals which are easily removed with zip and button fixtures. Haven't needed to use these yet, the trousers have been plenty warm enough in 8C plus without the liner. Waist is adjustable with Velcro straps. Trousers close via 2 poppers. 1 vent on outside of each leg. These vents seem small and are positioned in a strange place, unsure how well these will perform yet. Sizing I found slightly small, would recommend ordering 1 size up at least. I own JTS leather trousers with a 36" waist which fit great. 36" on these trousers would barely close and would have been unusable sitting on a bike. Returned and exchanged easily for 38", still snug but acceptable. Can wear another pair of thin trousers underneath for the commute, but can't fit a belt. I'm 6ft5", the X long leg is great. Don't know of any other kit manufacturer that can do this kind of size for these prices. Trousers come provided with a short closure zip for a jacket. The full zip is present so one half can be removed and sewed on to your existing jacket. I have these trousers paired with an RST GT CE Jacket. Overall an excellent piece of kit for the price point. These are a fantastic daily ride trouser with plenty of comfort, protection and warmth to keep you happy."

"I finally found trousers that fit and are the correct length! I first ordered the extra short trousers because I’m only 5’2, unfortunately I had to send them back, needing a bigger size and the extra short was sold out. I ordered short in the bigger size and they were fine. I’ve only worn them in dry weather but they definitely kept me warm. The customer service I received was absolutely fab! I’ll definitely be returning."

"Really comfy and warm trousers. Seem pretty watertight but haven’t been in really heavy rain yet. Longer fitting trousers for tall riders are hide to find at a reasonable price and these definitely fit the bill. I am 6’4” and extra long leg was perfect. However you would definitely need to go next waist size up. I am a slim 32 waist and had to send the 32 back and get a 34. Be careful for any returns from non mainland as you have to pay all the postage costs. "

"I have had two pairs of jts podium textiles and both were 36" extra long and where extremely comfortable and true to size I ordered the explorer in the same size and found them to be on the small side had to exchange them for a pair of 38" to achieve the same size "
