Levi's Commuter 511 Skinny Jeans

Cycling jeans must be hot!
Last week I posted about  Creux Velówear, and today it's Levi's' turn...
People that follow Prolly already knew that Levi's was coming with a Cycling Collection.
I must say I like the looks of the 511 much more than the looks of the Grimpeur.
And I love the water repellent finish and the U-lock hoop.
But it's still a simple 511...
The Grimpeur has a lot more cycling friendly features. So if I had to choose (which I don't coz I can't afford either of the two jeans...) I'd choose the Levi's for looks and the Creux for cycling.

Found on Freshness Mag.

Creux Velówear - Grimpeur Cycling Jeans

Pedal Consumption posted about Creux Velówear, a new Australian cycling inspired streetwear brand.
And i really like their Grimpeur Cycling Jeans.
It has a lot of nice features:
ENGINEERED CYCLING DENIM
  • Cycling specific cut with a high back and lower front
  • Double reinforced crotch and rear for increased durability
  • Light chamois providing you a little padding for all day riding comfort
  • Stretch Denim with 2% elastane for increased pedal efficiency and mobility
  • Inbuilt D-Lock holder via two ergonomically placed restraining loops
  • Reflective print on the right inside leg – roll em up and you’ll get the added advantage of a reflective print
  • Caribena clip and rear pocket hock
  • Pocket for your mobile phone on the outside of the right thigh – perfectly fits an iPhone or other smart phones without impeding your pedal stroke
  • Rear zip pocket for additional storage with an easy access zip pull
  • Back pockets are slightly lower than normal and moved further around the hip to avoid the saddle and the resulting pocket abrasion and wear
I think the phone pocket and caribena clip loop are a nice feature:

But I'm not so sure about the U / D - lock holder...

And although the padded ass part might be great for cycling comfort, I'm not completely sure about the looks of it off the bike...
