Sizing Information

We measured these pants and compared to Scorpion’s size chart below and we find the chart to be accurate for the waist. The inseams tended be just a touch shorter than the chart… maybe by an inch. I could get them to match the chart if I stretched the fabric a bit, but in the relaxed state, they were about 1” short.

There are a couple things to keep in mind on the fit of a pant like this. First, you’ll want to measure yourself with a tape if you haven’t done so in a while. MANY jeans are “vanity sized” which means the jeans are bigger in the waist than they actually are to make you feel good, so if you choose a pant size here base solely on your jean size, you may wind up with pants that are tight. Second, motorcycle pants such as these fit a bit higher on your waist than ordinary jeans, so if you have a bit of a belly you’ll want to measure up a bit higher just below the navel where slacks usually ride for purposes of choosing a size.

Waist sizes listed are the approximate maximum waist size. The Velcro side adjustment straps will allow you to snug down the waist approximately 3” tighter. When in doubt, choose larger and make use of the adjustment straps since it doesn’t work the other way around. These pants don’t have long side zippers like you’d find in an over-pant design, but if you are are planning on using these pants over street clothes, we would recommend going up one size.

Size Max Waist Inseam
Small 31 33
Med 33 33
Large 35 34
XL 37 34
XXL 39 35
XXXL 41 35

Our Two Cents

As of this writing, you’ll find two other Scorpion mesh pant styles alongside this Yuma model. Just to help you sort it out, here’s the short story; the Yuma has a mesh shell with a removable waterproof/windproof liner. The Trey is similar but has long side zippers and is intended to be used as an overpant, and the Drafter is the most simple of the three designs… basically a mesh pant (not overpants, and no removable liner).

So a bit more about this Yuma. Overall, these pants look nice… a great pant for all sorts of weather. I’ve always found motorcycle pants to be hotter to wear than jeans, and even in mild weather, the leather or solid textile pants can get uncomfortable from lack of air flow. So a mesh shell pant like this with the removable liner will cover all the climate needs of most people. Of course when it gets really cold, you might find them a bit breezy, but you still have the option of layering with your own garments to stay warm.

I do like the knee armor arrangement on these pants. It is the usual armor-in-the-fabric-pocket setup, but the armor is stuck to the pocket by a strip of Velcro, and so you can fine tune the position of the armor vertically or somewhat horizontally as well. This set-up gives just a bit more flexibility than the other three pocket arrangements I’ve seen.

The pants have a great waist closure too. There is a wide strap at the waist that has two sturdy steel hooks to hold the waist band closed. And these certainly won’t pop open when you sit! The side adjustment Velcro straps are wide and sturdy feeling too. You can use those two straps to fine tune the fit of the waist.

The pants have a couple wide Velcro-close cargo pockets on the front thigh area, which can be used to store your stuff. And then there are a couple zip-close hand pockets up nearer the waist band. The zippers are a waterproof type, but the pocket liner is mesh, so I guess the zipper was just for looks. Don’t stow your phone and then ride in the rain!

The armor in the knees is Scorpion’s usual… the Sas-Tec brand which is pliable and comfortable. The hips have pockets for armor and the pants come with some thin foam inserts, but you can upgrade those to Sas-Tec if you like (see the link below).

Overall, these are very nice pants. Please take a look at our photo gallery to see all these features and more up close. The pants have a zipper connection for Scorpion jackets, but they could surely be used with just about any gear as well (without the zip connection or with the zip if you adapt the jacket). :: Paul, 08-14-15
