I have purchased motorcycle pants before from other companies and have never been completely satisfied. Whether the pants were too short or uncomfortable, it seemed like no one could get it right. That’s until I tried the EKON brand. What a difference! The fit, the pockets, the length, the comfort…. all just right. When I started getting questions from my riding buddies about EKONs, I knew I had the right pair. I’m ready for my second pair now. 👍🏻

Hi Gregory, that means a lot! Glad we finally got it right for you. Enjoy the second pair and ride safe!

Return costs to China are $60 and up
The issue is around their return policy. My recollection is that they claim to have a 60 day return policy with no questions asked. This is a true statement.
The fine print is that you are responsible for shipping costs. On a $100 jacket I purchased, the return cost is $60 dollars.

What a waste of money!
I waited for these pants for over a month, with such high expectations. However these pants are even less comfortable than my $50 motorcycle jeans off of Amazon.
The knee pads do not sit right when wearing them on the bike no matter where I place them.
The pants are way too loose on my calves.
And there is this stitching inside of the pants that keeps stabbing me in the side of my knee that is frustrating. And the plastic price of crap belt that the pants came with is complete garbage, and broke at the clip within 3 minutes of having it on.
Update: still the absolute worst pants you can buy. Wore my 2nd pair of pants and with in two times of wearing them, I noticed a huge burn mark that melted through the pants on my left side on the shin. I don't recall touch any hot components on my bike with my leg, and I'm sure I would have noticed if I did if it melted through the pants that quick.

Chinese crap
Chinese crap, waited a month & a half. Not even close on the recommended size chart, man’s waist too big, ladies length too long. Polyester, not waterproof, & $85 to ship them back to China. Don’t bother, better options from Revzilla & others. Buy in the USA…

No Certification on their claims.
CON: Claim CE Certification. Also no mention of levels A, AA,AAA. Received pants. Not only no certification labeling but the name of the company also missing from the pants. All a red flag. Research has indicated there is no documentation that the motorcycle pants meet any certifications.
Pros:
Came quickly. Light weight and cool. Comfort comes with a significant cost.

Great motorcycle pants!
To be honest, I was hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. I got what I hoped for. Although it took longer than expected, my pants were worth the wait.

Hi Jim, glad they exceeded expectations! Enjoy the rides.

Regrettable Experience at EKON Travel
Regrettably, I ordered two pairs of EKON Travel's motorcycle riding pants! Then, I waited one week, then two weeks, then three weeks, but still no pants were delivered, & no email correspondence regarding shipping & delivery. It was very frustrating waiting three weeks & not hearing or receiving my order from EKON Travel! After approaching a month of waiting for my order to arrive, & then discovering pages of very negative reviews, complaints & allegations of theft by EKON Travel's unethical, sub-par business practices, I was fed up with waiting on my order & EKON's non-existent customer service to deliver my order, which never even shipped! I sent an angry email hoping somebody at EKON would read it & respond. To my surprise, someone finally responded only to confirm cancellation of my order, which was never even shipped to begin with! If you are considering making any purchase(s) from EKON Travel, be wary & consider looking elsewhere to avoid the hassles of dealing with EKON Travel & risking being ripped off! I gave them one-star for finally refunding my payment.

Hi John, we sincerely apologize for this experience. Waiting nearly a month without any shipping updates or communication is unacceptable. We're glad you received your refund, but we understand the frustration. We're taking steps to improve our shipping communication so no customer is left in the dark like this. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
