Reign Knickers

I loved my 1st pair of Reign Knickers. The fabric finally wore thin and I decided the abuse I put them through easily warranted another pair. Unfortunately, the fit is different and I am not sure I will make an attempt at riding in them. Once I tried the new pair on and felt a massive difference, I went and read reviews and read similar thoughts on the newest version Reign pant. I hope ZOIC does not mess with their Ether short fit. The fit is tighter in the thighs, does not feel like they would be compatible with knee pads and through flexing my knees and leaning forward it feels like the waistband rides down and away. Almost like there is less 4 way flex in the fabric or the change in design does not form fit like the old Reign Knickers did.

After outgrowing my first pair, I wanted another pair of 3/4s because they are the ideal mtb pant. Unfortunately, the updated design removed the excellent flat elastic waist and replaced it with a fixed waist & drawstring. When riding, the angle your back makes with your hips causes the non-elastic waist to ride away from your back.

I'm sure it's just a one off issue but one of the leg pockets is not sewn to the leg so small items can fall out the side of the pocket. i also think the inside waist string is kind of annoying when it's tied. they look cool and fit nice though

Love these knickers. They run a bit big but super comfortable!! A must for Fall riding.

Pervious design of these shorts where excellent. Current design has issues with every single Velcro patch. They're so small they don't hold shut when you are riding or seated. Elimination of previous design's robust buttons also noticed. Definitely wear a belt with these to ensure secure fit.
