I don't pay for that stuff now, not worth it to me..
Everything else I've used wore holes in the knees
(Fox, Ansr, tld)

If my left ankle wasn't sprained I'd have had no chance of doing the last moto.
Most comfortable pants I've had but.
I can tell you, it wasn't at the leather side panels, they went at the front of the knee where the thin material is, with a layer of foam behind it.
Also, the rubber/plastic material surrounding the vent holes started peeling off after the first wash.
The leather on the inner sides were fine, although becoming increasingly stiff and wrinkled after a couple of washes.
I have to say that gear was a let down.. My sincere feedback to you.
There are a lot of variables that can happen with this particular feedback including how it's washed, dried, etc, but either way, I apologize for your experience. I hope you'll give us another shot down the line.
I used to use older style Asterisk braces which I liked but they seemed to wear my knees out quicker from any brand pants than my Podmx braces. That's just my impression and I have used many different brand pants with each of those braces.
Look, the problems as I see it, arise from the thin, lightweight materials being used in high impact/stress areas like the knees. A mild tip over, or even checking your tire pressures in the gravel paddocks can start tearing these thin materials with ease.
Areas like the knees need to have stronger material, period.
Given the conditions and stresses these gears will probably encounter, they should be made to be protective and hard wearing. I'm all for light weight, but there needs to be a balance to include longevity.
The reason they got tossed, wasn't because of the leather, it was because of the front knee section.
