Our Two Cents
The AST-1 is a simple textile riding pant that offers protection and comfort for the everyday street rider. The pants are lightweight and comfortable on and off the bike. These pants have a waterproof lining and could even be a good idea for a touring rider. I would recommend these pants for cool to warm temperatures, but I think they will be uncomfortably warm on hotter days. The pants include removable knee padding that can be adjusted to an “upper” or “lower” position to help accommodate different height riders. There is reflective piping running down the legs for increased nighttime visibility. Take the “View Larger Pictures Link” above to see some good closeups of the pants and their features.
