So far so good. Delighted.
You are all welcome.

In case slightly more detail is required, I`ve recently bought a couple of pairs of bike jeans, one lined the other unlined as well as a Beeline 2 sat nav :-

First off the Beeline, I had an original version and despite our favourite reviewer not being a fan I found it pretty good. When the new one came out I sold the original and have upgraded. It`s a big improvement, the screen is larger so easier to read and the directions are also given more clearly. It works from your phone so strictly speaking not satellite navigation but I think for most people it`s a very simple yet very effective option most of the time.

The lined jeans are Hood K7. Nice soft and comfortable denim and I found them warm enough once the temperature gets to about 8 degrees. The unlined are Halvarssons Rogan, again soft denim and very comfy. I try not to ride in temperatures over 30 degrees as that`s just too hot for me but I think these will be good for up to the high 20`s. I`ve had Halvarssons stuff before and always been impressed with the quality, right up there with the best IMO and at sensible prices. Both jeans get excellent scores for safety and crash protection. They both come with AAA ratings and body armour included. I`m not sure I`d want to wear either all day off the bike as they are both heavier than normal strides and the armour would get on my nerves. Easier just to get changed than fanny around removing the armour.

We're not used to such reviews as you can imagine...please can you put it in the usual format;

Shit / Not shit

Thanks (y)
 
I agree, @Barry Hell has given the kind of in depth review we have come to expect from him. What I would like to know though is where he disagreed with my not shit review if he was disagreeing with 1, 2 or all 3 of the reviews.

There was a guy waiting at the Triumph dealers on saturday, when he got up to use the coffee machine, the crotch of his jeans was literally down by his knees. He had a long baggy t shirt on so I couldn't see where the top of the jeans was - not that I cared.

I can't get it into my head that jeans would do much in a high speed accident - odd really as my textile trousers are probably no better.

Apologies, I must clarify, although I thought I had made things crystal clear.

Your conclusion of 'not shit' was 'shit' because we can't handle reviews with 'not shit' conclusions 🤔

Happy to have helped in this delicate matter 😁

I bought RST jeans last year to do my Spanish trip they are padded in all the rite places and are higher rated than my full Scott adventure suit .. they are super comfy too in the heat . They do fit me correctly obviously

I agree, your review was not shit, it was rather good... but what did you think of the RST jeans?
