Review: Techno XMA XR2 Pants February 11, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Pants are an important clothing item when you decide to go out and pull crazy flips in the middle of a field during a summer day. Also, if you decide you want to spend your days running through a city climbing up walls and balancing on rails all the time, pants are also a very important factor. You have to take into account temperature, freedom of movement, and durability. You don’t want to wear some heavy black pants on a hot summer day, you’ll die, and you’ll want to go home. I had this problem a while back, I tried multiple kinds of pants. APK Cargo pants were so heavy it felt like I was wearing weights around my legs. I needed something lightweight, durable, and comfortable.
My problem ended up being solved when I bought some Techno XMA XR2 pants. These were Recommended by Epic. They weren’t all that cheap, but I figured I should give them a try anyway. When I first tried them on I was surprised by how they felt. It felt almost like I wasn’t wearing anything. I could kick as high as I wanted, and they wouldn’t get in the way. I could work on my flexibility and not worry about ripping them. So they passed the tricking test, but what about Parkour?
I really thought that these things would rip the minute I tried to run up any kind of wall, or fell on my knees. This is what blew my mind: I have had these pants for over a year, I use them mainly for PK training in the city, and tricking in the gym and at the park literally all the time . I have not had one single tear in them since I got them. The only problem I have experienced with these is that after countless hours of stretching on my floor, and getting better at kicks and such, the stitches in the center where the legs split has begun to pull apart. There isn’t a hole or anything, but you can see the stitches. This happened over the past few months, but other than that the pants worked well for a lot longer than I expected.
You would think that black nylon pants aren’t a good thing in the summer, but these pants are extremely cool, even in direct sunlight in the middle of a field. Seriously, these are some comfortable pants. I would recommend them for sure. Spend $40.00 of your hard earned cash on these pants.
So here’s a quick recap of the scores:
- Comfort: 9
- Look: 8
- Durability: 6
- Freedom of Movement: 10
