If you are disappointed because the look of this wear isn't revealing enough, then you are obviously not overtly interested in the rider's ability. Loeka, as a company is truly representative of female riding and the female riding community. The owners have worked aggressively to evoke and understand a clothing line that will make women comfortable enough to push their own riding limitations while encouraging and supporting women's riding. Riding limitations are not easily challenged if you are uncomfortable in your kit. The pants Kristen is wearing are well made and excellent for both element protection but personal protection as well. I have worn these pants mountain biking but also motto x-ing and have tried and tested their quality. As some of you know my nick name is crash bandicoot, and these pants are still in one piece despite my excellent ability to wipe out. Kristen, is demoing the pants in a tapered look for her xc clip shoes, I ride a /dx DH shoe and 5/10 flat shoe and use the flare option on the pant, illustrating a longer leaner look to the pant (again, personal preference). Riding style and riding fashion is forever evolving and the muse for both riding style and fashion is typically a result of other sports (bmx, freeride snowboarding etc) and other fashions including winter sports like snowboarding. I personally enjoy the diversity that Loeka offers as a rider because I can not only wear my jacket riding, but also socially as it isn't heinous or completely obvious that it's a mt. bike jacket. As a consumer, if a product is $90.00+and provides me with multiple options for sports and or social wear, then I am a happier and richer consumer . The bottom line is... if it's comfy, protective, bawlin and is supported by a team and company who cares then I am happy to wear that product. As part of the riding community, let's try and encourage more people to participate in the sport as opposed to slaggin their kits :)

I think Kristen, did a great job with this review and write up! It is disappointing to read some of the negative comments from the MALE demographic as this is a female specific clothing line and company. If fall colors and plaid isn’t your thing, we understand, however Loeka, offers and represents a variety of diverse colors and themes for their women's riding gear. The best part about their line is that, you as the rider have the option to elect either a tighter or looser fit, which ultimately is the personal preference of the individual rider and their own style of riding.
