Outstanding pant, extremely comfortable. As Anthony said, it's good for the cooler temps. Baggy enough for knee armor. Very well made, material is tough but not irritating to the skin. Lots of stretch panels. Great Quality.

The Held Warm N Dry Glove is the choice for cold and wet weather riding. With Superfabric, reinforced knuckles,and high quality leather these comfortable gloves do not compromise protection! The Warm N Dry Gloves also work great with heated grips! The palm is thin enough to allow good feel for the controls and allow the grip heaters to warm your hands, while the lightly insulated back helps to hold in the heat and protect your hands from cold rain and windchill.

I've taken these on several rides, with temps down to 35 F. My BMW GSA has heated grips, and I'm glad. These gloves are nowhere near as warm as I thought they would be for $200. The pros are that the palm is fairly thin, which allows you to feel the heated grips, and that they are a good fitting and comfortable. They are a good cool weather glove, but not cold.

Will this pant fit over my knee braces?
I ware the asterisk cell braces, size large, and was concerned about getting this pant on over them.
There's quite a bit for room in the thigh and knee area, so I would say yes.

armor in knee and hip
is there any armor in these pants, can they be worn as over pants, and are the primarily a summer pant? That's what I'm looking for
The only armor is fairly thin hip pads. Enough room for knee pads and long johns, but not jeans. Good for the cooler weather.
