Nice jeans w lots of great features. The reflective tape works and lasted many washes so far (I use cold and no heat)
The only thing I don't like is the extra cellphone pocket it doubles up the liner and makes it too thick on your thigh. Minor complaint.
Also if u want a looser fit, size up an inch. I have one pair a bit bigger and I don't really notice much difference they feel just a bit more like regular fit
I recommend this product!

These are great to wear as daily jeans, and ok to cycle in but there's a couple of problems.
As others have noted, the kryptonite holder is way to narrow to actually hold a lock.
The bottoms flare out just enough to rub my sprocket and get greasy, which is kind of a bummer.
I recommend this product!

Got these jeans because I commute by bike alot and thought the concept of a commuter jean was great. The fit is just plain dorky not skinny but dorky like jeans I wore as a 4th grader. The coloring is also completely different from the web site. A common problem from what I read in the reveiws of some of the other jeans. I returned them. I am not sure whether I will exchange them or just take the credit minus the shipping charge which is kinda weak! Not impressed.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The jeans fits pretty well and I like the color.
I also like the special fabric they used in the jeans.
However, I cannot use the U-lock storage at all!
The space for the U-lock is really small and I think it is because my waist is small (W30). If you get W30 or smaller you pretty much can't use the U-lock storage.
Moreover, the reflective tape chipped after I wore it for 2 times. I think it would last longer but nope, the reflective material comes off pretty easily.
I recommend this product!

Ordered pairs 4 and 5 1 inch bigger with winter riding in mind and was surprised at the changes. The length is at least 1 1/2 inches longer than my 3 previous pairs even though I only ordered waist size up not length. The thighs were wider and not as snug, but less stretchy then original. The crotch was more reinforced also. I know riders complained about thighs but really they are skinny jeans after all. I loved the original ones but the new ones will be good for winter riding when I want to wear tights underneath for extra warmth.
I recommend this product!

I've been wearing 511s in 34-32 almost every day for a few years. They fit great (thanks to the spandex) except I seem to need something a bit higher-waisted. Ordered Commuters in 34-32. WAY too small, and slightly short as well. Exchanged for 36-32. An inch too big, slightly too short, and definitely baggier in the thighs than 511s, not the same look. (Is that just because I'm comparing a bigger size with a smaller?) I'm taking them back, though I'd be interested to try a 35-34 if they existed. I don't know what I'm going to wear. Frustrating.
WHY DON'T THEY MAKE SIZE 35? WHY IS A 34-INCH INSEAM MADE WITH A 34-INCH WAIST BUT NOT WITH A BIGGER WAIST? AREN'T BIGGER PEOPLE OFTEN TALLER? AND WHY DID THEY MAKE A NEW NOT-SO-SKINNY CUT AND GIVE IT THE SAME NAME AS THE SKINNY 511?
They are not a bad product, so I'm checking off "would recommend to a friend." friends have different bodies, after all.
I recommend this product!

Loved the idea then the reality of these jeans, even though they run EXTREMELY small. Usually I wear a size 31 x 30, but these had to go up to a 34 x 30. I do like the fit and the reflective area at ankle, plus the gusseted crotch area which allows for full movement while pedaling.
I recommend this product!

The wash looks nice in person, but the jeans fit more like 514s than 511s. The indigo ones are a much lighter-weight fabric and a much slimmer fit.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I would recommend getting a size bigger than your normal size... unless you want your frank and beans on display for all to see. To each his own. Ha. Did a 30 mile commute with ease in these..
I recommend this product!
