Review Summary
The Infinity 3 Pro Pants balance touring performance and everyday comfort. Their AA-rated Cordura shell and laminated Aquashell waterproofing make them suitable for year-round riding, while the included thermal liner keeps riders warm in cooler conditions. Ventilation via the Fidlock vent system is effective, and build quality is consistently high. At a mid-range price point, these pants provide excellent durability and protection without the premium cost of high-end waterproof systems.
All-Season Comfort
Tested extensively on adventure and touring rides, the Infinity 3 Pro Pants excel across variable weather conditions. Their waterproof membrane, thermal liner, and flexible armor make them a reliable choice for multi-season touring. Stretch panels enhance mobility, while the fit remains comfortable during long rides.
Construction & Design
Outer Shell: The Cordura fabric and reinforced impact zones deliver strong abrasion resistance. Strategic stretch panels improve mobility at the knees, groin, and seat.
Interior: A mesh liner promotes airflow and comfort during warm rides.
Waistband & Fit: Dual Velcro adjusters, a secure zipper closure, and a fly backing layer help maintain fit and protect against wind and moisture. Adjustable calf and hem closures, along with three-position knee armor pockets, allow for a customized fit.
Pockets & Storage: Two waterproof zippered pockets provide secure storage, though the lack of cargo-style compartments may limit carrying capacity.
Visibility & Branding: Reflective elements along the waist, thighs, and lower legs improve visibility without being overly prominent. Minimal branding keeps the design clean and functional.
Thermal Liner: The included liner attaches easily at the waist and ankles, providing warmth when needed and removable for higher temperatures.
Protection
These pants feature CE AA-rated abrasion resistance and D3O CE Level 1 knee and hip armor. While adequate for most touring and commuting scenarios, Level 2 armor would provide superior impact absorption for more demanding rides.
