Icon Hooligan 2 Mesh Overpants Mesh overpant - the idea seems a bit odd at first - until you try them. The Fighter Mesh chassis provides excellent abrasion resistance while allowing complete freedom of movement and incredible ventilation. Integrated mechanical flex zones further increase the mobility and comfort of the pants. Worn over a set of normal pants this outfit provides a great riding experience in warmer weather climates while providing enhanced protection. Features Icon loose overpant fit pattern Removable knee impact protectors Durable breathable fighter mesh nylon chassis Adjustable waist straps Perforated panels for venting Ribbed flex panels on knees Zippered side pockets for secure storage Ratchet waist closure

I bought these riding pants for added protection on my commute to work. They fit true to size. I wear a size 34 so I ordered them in a 34. They fit easily over my jeans. I've noticed some other reviewers mention that they don't fit well over your boots but I didn't have that issue.
The Ratchet waist closure works really well to keep the pants up and tight around the waist. Ventilation is excellent. The kneepads can be adjusted and you have the option to sit them in one of 3 pockets. I'm not a tall guy (5'4), so I needed to adjust them a little higher than their default placement to get them to fit directly over my knee.
My only complaint is that they don't have hip protection as advertised. It even mentions on the tag attached to the pants that hip protection is offered.
Other than that, the pants are great. Definitely worth the purchase.
