I absolutely would recommend these pants to any rider. They are on the thicker side due to the layers of material, so if that’s not your thing then I wouldn’t go for these. However, I don’t mind the extra protection. For my measurements I’m a U.S. size 16 and have thicker thighs but a small waist. I got the 2xl and they fit my legs perfectly and there are two clasps on each side of the waistband that allow for the user to synch in the waist. Along with this, they come with knee pads that are removable. Love them and I love the comfort of knowing I’m protected while riding.

I love my Laras, but I'm 5'9" and the regular are plenty long on me. It might be an issue with anyone shorter, especially getting the knee armor placement right. I swapped out the included armor for ghost armor and it made these even more comfortable and made the placement of the knee armor fit a little better. I love that the waist adjusts in multiple places. My husband was actually considering trying to get a pair for himself because of how great they look and feel. ("men never get waist adjusters!" I am about 250 lbs, typically a size 18-20 and have a generous booty/hips. I ordered the 5XL praying that a cute women's item would actually fits someone larger than a 12. I actually swapped for the 4xL, which fit great. Use the size guide and you won't be led astray.

The only other little complaint I have is that the stitching on the inside of the waistband in front is a little stiff and scratchy. I think it's where it's reinforced around the snap closures. Hoping that will wear in a little, but I'll tuck my shirt in in the meantime.

One final shoutout to the Wind & Throttle customer service team. They've been amazingly helpful as I've been exchanging and returning multiple items. I'll be back for all my motorcycle gear in the future.
