20 reviewsReally like the guide trail pant, super comfy during a recent 8hr bike park day. Stretchy and overall really good fit and i love how many pockets there are.
I typically wear a 30" pant size, but ordered the 32" shorts not knowing how they would fit. I found I had to use the full extension of the waist adjusters to tighten them up, so I ordered another pair, size 30", and they fit perfectly! Excellent fabric, quality zippers, pockets can hold a large phone with an outer case on it. The 30" are more fitted which I like, the fabric stretches, so they don't feel tight, but offer a slim fit. If you prefer a more loose, casual riding short, maybe size up, you can always adjust the waist. I do wear a liner and it fits comfortably while wearing either size.
I'm 6 feet 5 inches tall and have a slim waist. Living in New Zealand there isn't any brands offering anything that would fit. I took a gamble on the Cognative Tall Pants having never tried them on or seen any, and was amazed how good they are. Great stretch materials, great pocket placing and waist adjustment. Really impressed. If I have one reccomendation it would be to lower the knee articulation as I feel when pants are raw/un hemmed that length at the foot end is added rather than the thigh portion of the leg being lengthened proportionally. But then again I may just have very long femurs. I will be ordering more pants as soon as they are in stock.
These are awesome shorts to ride, travel, and hang in. The fit is nice, kinda snug, but that's how I like it when riding my bike. I still say they are true to size. I'd give these 6 stars if you had a wallet pocket on the back. Maybe even a hip loop for keys.
