Yup , I did a bit of Googling , single layer seems the way to go because of the too hot scenario.
Bul-it are on sale at Sportsbikeshop and I’ve ordered a few pairs to try on .
They recommend trying a size smaller , so I’m goi g with 32 , I reckon im a 33.
Seem good value in the sale .
Thanks for the heads up

Motorcycle jeans/trousers whatever you call them have always stressed me out.
Finding boots or a jacket that's functional, looks good and in budget seems so easy. But yet trousers are always* a nightmare.
You might be better off going to one of those bougie bike shops for jeans.
*unless you want hardcore racing leathers, deliveroo-wear, or ALL-THE-PANNIERS checkerboard enduro trousers.

Yes.
Fit wise my pair wear along the lines of something you'd get from Super U. I think they'd look better if I wore them more.
Build quality is excellent. As in the actual jeans construction.
My fundamental issue is that a floating kevlar liner is hot as balls - so you can't wear them indoors if it's warm. But in winter you'll still need to layer up under and over as they're not insulated or wind proof. So IME there is a quite a small window of opportunity to wear them. Also in terms of armour, mine is more of a pain to fit than in my leathers. And you can see that you'd get amour fades.
No experience of them, but my understanding is that there are some pretty smart new fabrics where they basically take kevlar style threads and wrap them in cotton which gives you something with the same strength but feels like a normal pair of jeans.
