I live in Michigan and bought these pants so I could continue my biking season into the cold temps.

I am not a super experienced biker, but have been trying to increase my fitness and ride more frequently. I am not in great shape (yet) so, I did not feel comfortable going with full on tights!. I thought these would be a good compromise. I tried cycling in sweat pants/basketball pants, but the leg would always flap and get caught in the chain. I also liked that these were 'zip off' shorts too, as biking gear is expensive, and I thought this would really increase the use I could get out of my investment.

So far I am very happy with these pants! I have probably ridden about 200 miles in them...

I ride both on a road bike, and on trails with a mountain bike.

The quality of these seems very high. I am very pleased with the workman ship, and the large assortment of usefull pockets, etc... including slots for headphone cords for music players/phones...

The fit was a bit tight (I bought XXL), and the material is stretchy (almost like tights), so it does hug you. It is a good compromise between tights and excercise pants. I probably wouldn't just wear these pants around like excercise pants...I would recommend going one size up.

They work very well for warmth and wind breaking. Also does not seem to be a problem when they get wet. I have been very comfortable warmth wise in the low 40's to upper 30s. Also I have put on another layer of chili-pepper long underwear, and have been comfortably warm in low 30's.

One thing that is very nice about these is that they come with a padded chamois liner that is removable. This is very handy and done well.

One somewhat odd thing, is that the cuffs 'button' up to keep them out of the way of your chain. At first this seemed a bit strange, as I was expecting velcro or some sort of strap. But it seems to work fine, and has not come undone while I am riding, So I am good with it.

Overall I would say go for it! Great Pants, and they will be useful year-round.

These are the best biking shorts/pants I've found. I like the design. The many pockets are all put to good use. I especially like the pocket for the phone/music player. My smartphone fits perfectly. The sunglassed wipe attached inside one of the thigh pockets is a nice touch. The fabric is tough but light. The liner is good and the shorts and liner can be worn seperately. I like that the legs can be worn in the morning/evening when it's chilly and removed during the day. Also the legs can be put on when not riding so one can have full pants when off the bike such as going to a restaurant or stores etc.

The only nit I have to pick is that the way the pant legs are designed to keep them out of your chain is with buttons. The pant legs are rolled up and buttoned. This doesn't seem like the best design to me. Velcro patches seem like a better idea and I may get some sewn on as I've had done with other pants in the past. Right now I just use a pants leg strap on my right leg. This isn't a big deal.

I'm 6'1" and 208 lbs. I wear size 38 pants and the XL size fits me fine.

I would definitely buy these again and I may get another pair.

I have used these 2 times and They seem to block the wind very well. The liner is not to good so I use my other riding shorts and have room to move. I like having the pockets too. Have not been in the rain yet so I do not know how well they will work there.

Honest reviews on Zoic Men's Black Market Convertible Pant with RPL Essential Liner

I already own two pair of the plain Zoic shorts which I've worn since May, have ridden over 1500 miles in and really like them. It was an easy choice when ordering cold weather riding gear that I purchase these and I can remove the leggings to ride with them during the warm weather months, that was a bonus. I would recommend these shorts to anyone. They are comfortable, fit well and have plenty of pockets for needed items for those longer rides. The only thing I didn't like and removed was the belt but it wasn't needed since they fit so well. When I need more shorts, if these are still available I will buy more!

I have had this brand of shorts from Zoic in the past and I like the shorts well enought that I decided to purchase their pants that could also be converted into to shorts. I have only wore these during the summer here in AZ and can only report that the shorts worked ok for my rides at temps of 105, I don't think these pants would keep you warm, but that's not what I purchased them for. They are not exactly the same as my other shorts from Zoic, but are not a bad paint/short. These are like the others where the material seems are reduced in the seat area so that you don't have as much saddle pressure or where the material makes contact with the skin. I would have rather had a better snap or velco closure obove the zipper and also a bit larger belt loops (does come a small belt) so I could use my own belt if I wanted, other than that so far have not had any issues with this pant.
