I have been searching long and hard for textile pants (which I could machine wash) that did not look like "snowmobile" pants. I finally found (and received) said pants. Unlike most textile pants...these have CE amor in the knee and hips (although small), and LOOK like cool MX style pants. Mesh where you need it, textile where you don't. The padded knee style gives them a rugged look (as does the logo on lower legs). They zip up side, bottom to top (not a two-way zipper here) so easy to get in and out. They have zippered front AND back pockets (two front slash, two rear "jeans style" with zip top). They come with a waterproof liner. One word of caution though...they are FIT. If you want them as "overpants"....order a size LARGER than you normally wear. I am in no way affiliated with Scorpion...just VERY happy that FINALLY someone offered protective textile pants that don't look like "skiing/snowmobile pants"!!! These are the pants:
