I was looking for a nice pair of jeans for the summer. My Textile pants are nice, but sometimes I want to just wear jeans. All the ones I have seen in the dealerships looked baggy. I usually wear Banana Republic jeans (don't make fun - my wife is the one who has style in our house). Anyway, after all my research on motorcycle-superstore reviews and webbikeworld I decided on the Shift Low down. Got the darker dye in size 30. I also have a short inseam, 30". These only come in standard inseam (I think 33) which is a couple of inches too long for me. The look comfortable and they feel comfortable, like regular jeans. They don't fit quite as well as BR jeans, but not too baggy. The kevlar/cordura that is on the buttom/knee area is thin enough that is not too bothersome. I wonder how well it would hold up in an accident. I know that my textile motoGP pants did very well in a low impact accident, but these don't feel as sturdy. In any case, definitely better than regular jeans. Would I buy them again? for $70 definitely yes. They are the least baggy of the motorcycle jeans that I saw. I am curious to try out their torque model which has a little more reinforcement.

Their name is actually Lodown, not low down.
