Anyone have experience (good or bad) with Motonation gear?

They've got a new set of riding pants at a pretty good price point that look like they might work in the heat.

I'm thinking I might give them a try (only offered in black, sigh), but wondered if anyone had evaluated/tried any of their other gear and had any general impressions of their quality.

Thanks in advance for your input.

For the price ($99), I don't think you can go wrong. Good Kevlar riding jeans start there. Looks like you get much more with the Motonation. I would give them a try. :yes:

Ordered them

Should get them within a week, and I'll definitely post an update/review.

First impressions

Received my order of the Cappra Vented Textile Pant today, and my first impressions are pretty favorable. They don't look or feel cheaply made - sturdy construction with regards to fasteners and zippers, and the fit is as advertised. They're definitely not overpants, but are comfortable with shorts on underneath. The knee protection lands where it should in a sitting position, and so we'll see how they fare in the heat on a ride tomorrow.
