I bought the pants about 6 years ago and used them maybe a dozen times before I got rid of my motorcycle so they're in great shape. Motorcycling just wasn't for me. I'm just copy and pasting this description from a website, but there's a really good Revzilla video on youtube that goes through the pants in great detail. The pants come with hip armor and knee armor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su3kbVt2kE0 Dainese's top riding pants offer incredible protection for a jean thanks to the fabric woven with aramid fiber yarns (heat resistant and synthetic fibers). Comes with ridged protection at the knee but also Pro-Shape soft armor at the hips. Dupont Kevlar internal reinforcements, and just like Dainese's race suits, the Charger features comfortable S1 bi-elastic fabric at the crotch area.
