Made from ultra-flow mesh with 600D panels in key impact zones (like your knees and butt), these pants also have an airflow mesh inner lining and CE-approved knee armor. There are pockets for hip armor as well, and reflective details to keep you safe when riding in low-light conditions.

Regular Price: $209.99, Sale Price: $169.99 (19% Off)
Pants that offer this much protection shouldn’t be allowed to feel this light and convenient—but you’ve got to hand it to REAX for finding a way. 980D ballistic poly reinforcements in the knees and seat keep you ready to hit the road (literally) if the worst should happen, and 600D poly throughout the rest of the garment helps them stay together in a slide (along with your skin). On top of that, stretch inserts in the knees and thighs keep you highly mobile, and a moisture-wicking stretch mesh lining helps you deal with rain—not to mention sweat. Bring it, summer.
