Comfortable and hard wearing, plus the subtle cycling tweaks actually make them better off the bike too
are extremely comfortable, and if you're doing short bike commutes or rides into town they're much better than 'normal' jeans – and few people will realise these aren't normal. The cut, stretch and durability are all impressive.These cycling jeans do something I wish normal ones would: they fit when you lean over or crouch down.
Swooping dramatically to the other end of what I might stiffly call 'the garment' brings us to the leg ends, or hems. They're designed to be rolled up, as that reveals the reflective taping on the seam, but if you don't like the 1970s turn-up look, no matter, there's still a benefit: they're nice and slim around the ankle, and fairly easily kept away from chains.
Swrve recommends you wash these first to reduce the chances of staining your legs blue in the rain, though I had no issues with a little light drizzle. Cordura denim dries quicker than regular denim, too, and feels notably tougher – thick but without the weight you'd expect. It breathes better than you might think as well – these stayed comfortable on some quite humid, 16-20°C days. You won't want to be sprinting anywhere in them, though.
How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?
