Sizing Information

We measured a sampling of these jeans of different waist sizes and lengths and find they are much like other jeans you’d buy these days. They are just a bit “vanity” sized in the waist. Across the size run, the actual measured waist is just about 2” larger than the stated size which is typical vanity sizing. And of course these are denim and may shrink just a tad too. The jeans have pockets in the hips for the addition of the Pro-Shape hip protectors (see link below). The hip armor is quite thin and flexible so I don’t think they’ll make a difference in the size choice of jeans if you choose to wear them. So my overall advice would be to buy the waist size you normally wear in jeans; you’ll likely find a fit. If you aren’t sure whether your jeans are vanity sized like I’m describing, then either measure your waist where your normal jeans ride or measure your favorite pair of jeans to verify. You’ll probably find that you measure out a bit bigger than your normal jeans size and also the waist of your favorite jeans measures out an inch or two bigger than their stated size. If so, you will be on track following my advice.

The inseam lengths measured out to be average. In the smaller jeans, the inseam of about 32”, the mid-sized jeans were about 33.5” and the larger jeans topped out at about 35”. Again, the jeans will probably shrink a bit, but even so, these inseam measurements are generous. The pant legs are a simple design and could be hemmed.

Our Two Cents

The Connect is a regular fit jean with reinforcement in the seat and pockets for optional hip and knee armor. In this jean, you can choose the armor type.

Without the addition of armor, these jeans are about the most “standard” jeans I’ve seen in the Dainese line. The fit is “regular”. They are somewhat trim in fit, but not skinny for sure. The material is standard denim and they have Kevlar reinforcement in the seat. The waist has a button closure and a zippered fly.

You can choose the armor you want in the knee of this pant. The pocket for the knee armor is a dual setup to accommodate either. Choose the Pro-Shape thin and flexible armor or the more robust Pro-Armor inserts. Like all the other Dainese jeans, the hips have pockets for the Pro-Shape armor. Take the links below to add the armor.

The fabric in these jeans is very soft and this is the only pair I’ve seen with contrast stitching. If you really didn’t want armor, these will fit the bill since you aren’t paying for it. But you can upgrade with choices if you do. :: Paul, 07-31-18

Dainese says: Bristling with style, the Connect riding jean has adjustable internal pockets at the knees to accept either Pro-Armor composite protection or Pro-Shape soft armor. Internal reinforcements in DuPont® Kevlar® are placed at the back.
