So recently I purchased a pair of Levis Jeans, not 501,or 522, but the "Commuters".These jeans are revolutionary in the sense that they capture the necessity of those with bikes as a form of transportation. The idea of these jeans to have a comfortable pare of jeans when commuting through the city on your bicycle. These jeans are revolutionary for the detail and specific put in to the jean design. Levis pared up with 3M to bring this light pare of jeans to the world.
Reflectors.The jeans were designed to be rolled up from the legs, when rolled they the plans have a reflector sewed in to the pant leg. This is genius because this acts as another light to bee seen at night by the vehicles. The issue that I have is that is is position in the side of the pants, not in front of you or behind you. Usually a commuter is riding along side traffic so a car perceptive id in front or behind of the commuter.
Crotch. The Crotch of this particular set of jeans is made with a second layer of jean to add comfort in that area. This allows for comfort in those longer riding distance. I have these pants but I cant help but feel like I'm wearing a diaper when I'm not riding. The extra weight of this area ways the pants down, when walking normally, so make sure a belt is within reach.
Belt line. In the belt line there is and extra strap in which a bike lock attaches too. This particular strap is located in the rear and does not get in the way. You wouldn't even notice it if you weren't trying to feel the belt strap.
High Rise. The pants are made with high rise to help with the exposure of your rear when riding through the city. The high rise ads comfort as well.
Overall these jeans are designed well and you can tell a lot of though was put in to the overall features. I will continue buying them as I believe they will work out the kinks and make them better.
