LBZ Freerider
Built for the sick, gnarly and all-out radical brothers. The fit is big, really big, and in the knee the Freerider is massive. It has odd waist sizes (from 29-39, with prices $80-$130)-weird. For durability, it may hold up when hucking huge gaps, but it won't stand a chance on any trail ride because brush will snag it. It doesn't offer much more protection than a pair of jeans. The front pockets are faux, just an illusion of decorative stitching, but the pant does come in bright colors (read: blue, forest green, lime, orange, purple, red or sand). -Chris Denison | GEAR | 61 | | Style | 12/20 | | Comfort | 6/10 | | Function | 30/50 | | Wash/care | 6/10 | | Price | 7/10 | See your local Tucker Rocky

LBZ 2-4-1
The 2-4-1 has a flashy style that attracts attention. The $149.95 pant doesn't offer much in the way of protection because it is pretty thin and has no padding or liner. But it does stay cool, and it zips off. The pant comes in odd waist sizes (31-41) in black, red or royal.-Derek Steahly | GEAR | 70 | | Style | 13/20 | | Comfort | 7/10 | | Function | 38/50 | | Wash/care | 7/10 | | Price | 5/10 | See your local Tucker Rocky

MSR Strike
The $89.95 Strike offers a good fit-much like an in-the-boot pant but with a little more room in the leg (sizes run 28-40). It is snug in the right spots so it doesn't rub, and the cinch strap on the leg openings are a big plus as they keep the pant from catching on anything. The material is tough, but it shows wear and scratches from brush. Vent panels are well-placed on the thighs and offer decent cooling. The pant comes in black, blue or red.-Derek Steahly | GEAR | 86 | | Style | 16/20 | | Comfort | 9/10 | | Function | 46/50 | | Wash/care | 7/10 | | Price | 8/10 | See your local Tucker Rocky
