I have had these for a few weeks and am very satisfied
Likes: They fit more like real jeans that some other MC jeans I tried, which tend to be too baggy. The Kevlar lining is supposed be more protective than other brands, and it looks it. It is much thicker than the Kevlar on my Teknic or ADV jeans. Workmanship seems good and I expect them to last. They are comfortable to wear on and off the bike.
Dislikes: the “Distressed Look” is way over done. I don’t mind a little bit of fading in key areas, but this is way too much. Looks too “trendy.” I wish they came in plain, undistressed indigo. They do not come in inseam sizes. For mediums, the inseam is at least 34, maybe a 36. If you have a shorter inseam, you will have to have them re-hemmed. They have huge, ugly embroidered logos on each rear pocket, which I thought looked terrible. It made them look like woman jeans. I took them off, and that was a pain to do.
Despite some annoyances, I’m satisfied. I wear Bohn Adventure pants under these, and between that armor, and the Kevlar on these jeans, feel very protected
I wear a 34 waist, and ordered medium. They fit well. Inseam was too long though

Yes, I recommend this product.

I’m picky about my boots but like these. They are stiff where they need to be for protection, but have enough give that you don’t walk around like Frankenstein. For moderate distances they are fine to walk around in. Boots that are TOO comfy for walking probably won’t protect your ankle or foot in a crash. Cycle boots should limit range of motion at the ankle. I never wear open lace boots so like the cover these have over the laces. They are reasonable cool in 100+ temps. They are so plush inside that I have even worn them with footie socks. Workmanship seems very good. I wear a 12-13 wide shoe and the size 47 fits very well
Yes, I recommend this product.

Arai Helmet SAQ with Tear Offs Face Shield Fits the following Arai Full Face helmets RX7 Corsair Quantum 2 Profile Vector Quantum/f Quantum/s Tear off refills available here .
Arai UV Protection
Do Aria face shield provide UV protection, and if so what percent do they block (e.g. 99%). I could not find anything on their web site that mentions this as a feature, so I'm guess they do not

Are these Drift jeans pre-washed? Will they shrink after washing and drying?
They did not state whether they were pre-shrunk or not. I've washed them 3 times, with warm water and low dryer heat and did not see any shrinkage. I'd avoid hot water or a hot dryer thought.
