Dainese Firefly Pants
I've posted a link above to KneeDraggers.com where you can buy these pants. They're selling them for $499 (as of 6/25/07) which is what I paid. What I love about the Firefly pants is that they zip into my Dainese jacket. The other reason I love these pants is fit. They do have a high rise, which I find to be perfect, especially when they are zipped into my jacket.

Let me start off by saying that the size charts for Dainese on KneeDragger's website was off for me. I bought a size 44, which should be a US 10. But I'm a US size 4 in pants. Generally all the sizing varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and Dainese is no exception.

These pants fit me perfectly and were extremely comfortable when I took them for a 100 mile ride last weekend. Along the inner thigh, and behind the knees they've put stretch fabric which makes these extra comfortable and also provides some ventilation since the pants aren't ventilated anywhere else. These also come with hard knee armor which for me, was a little uncomfortable when they started digging into the bottom of my shins while in riding position. You may have to upgrade to T-Pro knee armor for a more comfortable/flexible fit. You'll also notice that there are 2 zippers on the back of each leg, which is great if your calves aren't exactly the same size as when both zippers are zipped closed. Fortunately, these fit perfectly into my boots when I had them fully zipped. I would highly recommend these especially if you have a Dainese jacket to zip into.
