They fit well, provide good degree of protection, I forget that I have them on, and are reasonably priced for Dainese. I have worn them on a couple of 90-100 degree days and the breathability is significant enough to allow cooling airflow. I tried on the Forcefield under pants, but they are way too bulky even for my loose fitting jeans. Uncomfortable compared to these. (Although I should mention that I like Forcefield products. I have a couple of their undershirts and they act like a fan cooling my body during hot rides). The drawback to these Norsorex is that they do not feel like they have the same level of protection as under garments with harder and more durable armor inserts. But, for what I was looking for, these pants provide the extra peace of mind that I need and I recommend them!
Yes, I recommend this product.

What is the thickness? Thank you for the other measurements as well.
Fabric feels light, and thin. Think about the materials used in those UnderArmour or similar athletic shirts. I bought a medium and it fit me perfect for my 32 waist and 30 inseam.

Sizing Info
How do these size comapred to standard sizing. If you waste is a 34 and inseam a 32 what size do I need to order?
I bought a medium and they fit as expected. My waist is 32 and inseam is 30. For your measurements of 34 and 32, I think a large will be perfect, since European brands fit a bit on the slim side (which I prefer for a garment such as this).

CAN THE PANTS BE COMFORTABLY WORN UNDER JEANS?
LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE TO ALWAYS WEARING PROTECTIVE PANTS (E.G., DAINESE DRAKE AIR)
Yes, I bought them primarily for this reason. They fit well under my loose jeans. I think they will be bulky under tight jeans, but any under pants with armor will feel that way. The armor inserts may not provide as much protection as other alternatives such as Forecfield, but these pants are more streamlined and more comfortable.

How do these pants do in cold weather and warm weather?
Nobody mentioned anything in the reviews about how the material reacts to cold riding or warm. Thank you.
I have not used the pants in cold weather, but in warm/hot weather, they are breathable and keep me cool during rides. While walking around, unles you are paying attention to them, you may not even notice that you have them on.
