River Road Mojave Mesh Pants

We haven’t carried the River Road line for a couple years (they’re mostly black leather “Marlon Brando” styles), but recently our distributor rep pointed out this closeout deal and I thought it would be a great product for all styles of riding. The Mojave pants are a simple jean style partial-mesh pant for every-day use. They are a nice compromise between close fitting sport pants and the loose fit of an over-pant style. The partial-mesh construction will allow cooling wind to pass through freely in warmer riding conditions. And for cooler or rainy weather the pants come with a water/wind resistant liner that can be installed. The liner is a nice feature and should extend the usable weather conditions for these pants. The only thing I didn’t like was the way the liner fastens into the pants. It’s an awkward button/elastic arrangement that takes a bit of fiddling, so set aside about 5 minutes to install or remove the liner. But heck, it can’t all be good for a price like this, right? For crash protection the hips and knees both come equipped with removable armor, and the pants have an 8” jacket attachment zipper that includes a mating half that can be sewn into the jacket of your choice. Take the “View Large Pictures” link above to see some good closeups of these pants and their features.
