    I'm not sure that I like the fact that they describe the women's pant as having "all the features of the men's". I don't know why, but I find that offputting. It makes me feel like an afterthought. I think that I'm not their main market either way. They seem to be geared to commuters (who think helmets would mess their hair).

    I'm not commenting on their quality or their fit. Their clothes may be great. I'm just saying they wouldn't get my money with their website.

    I can see why they'd say that. So often women's pants lack real pockets and are made in a slipshod way in comparison to Men's. I personally now wear men's jeans, it's just easier, as they are more predictable and have nice pockets and zippers.

    I'm a commuter and I don't care what it does to my hair. I freshen up when I get to work, brush my hair and change clothes. I like biking pants that can be worn the rest of the day. It is nice not to have to change pants.

    Wearing street clothes for biking is rough on the street clothes, and specialized bicycling clothes are expensive like these pants. But I'm investing in this type of thing slowly (not this particular pair at this time though). Some day I'll have a pretty reasonable wardrobe for my lifestyle!

    Thanks for the link!
