Sizing Information

We found the waist measurement for the 2011 Sport Tour Leather Overpants to be consistent with the size stated, but not over-sized to allow for clothing underneath. For this reason, we would recommend buying 1 size larger than normal if you plan on wearing these as overpants. Leg lengths are extra-long (approx. 33-36”, depending on pant size) to accommodate taller riders, but the design allows you to cut the pant legs to an appropriate length, so inseam should not be a problem.

Our Two Cents

Here is a MotorcycleGear.com exclusive. We bought all remaining inventory in this pant and can offer a fantastic price. Our product comments: FirstGear has made some major improvements to the Sport Tour Leather Overpants for 2011. First and foremost, where there once was foam padding, we now get real CE approved armor for the knees AND hips. This is a major improvement in safety without compromising comfort. Both the hip and knee armor install in the pants using Velcro, which allows them to be positioned right where you need them. These pants are also customizable in length. There is about 9 inches of unfinished (no lining) leather in the bottom of the pants, with a Velcro closure. This makes cutting them to the right length very easy for a nice, custom fit. Belt loops are included so you can use your own belt to customize the fit of the waist. Stretch material is found in the seat of the pants, between the legs, above the knees, and at the back of the pants to keep things flexible. There are zippered vents on the inner thighs which provide a little airflow in warm weather. For storage, there are two front pockets that are nice and deep, with wide openings that you can actually get your hands into. 2/3 length leg zippers make them quick and easy to get on and off over your street clothes. The leather in these pants is specially treated for water resistance. FirstGear calls it their Kwik-Dry™ treatment, and claims that it will significantly reduce the amount of water that can be absorbed by the leather, and also reduces drying times. The pants aren’t advertised to be “waterproof”, but the leather design will help significantly if you are caught in a shower. We have taken some detailed pictures of these pants here in our studio, so be sure to click the “View Larger Images” link above to take a look.

The first gear pants are top notch. Very heavy duty leather, whilst not a warm weather pant, I have tested these pants down to 25 F and they definitely are up to the task of cold weather overpatns. The generous leg zippers make donning and removal an ease even with clunky combat boots. (Read more...)

The FirstGear overpants are my first pair of leather riding pants. The fit & build quality are good, and they have built-in knee & hip protection which I've had to buy separately in the past to use with other riding gear. Now I just have to get th... (Read more...)
