I have a pair of the non perforated pants, and they are comfortable up to
about 90. After that they get pretty sticky. I found that I had to take the
armor out of the knee area though. With the armour left in, they would bind
on the knees too much which not only was uncomfortable on a long ride, but
it also made it harder to move around on the bike. It got to bothering me
so much that I realized I was thinking about my knees when I should have
been thinking about the ride, so I figured it was more of safety issue
having them in there than going without them. There's still quite a bit of
padding and protection in that area even without the armour.
