Not a company to be trusted, they are having products made cheaply as possible in China and adding a huge market, but are not providing the support. If any part of the $170 bag breaks or gets lost you are expected to buy another one. This is not the first trouble I have had with them - they only offer a three month warranty, from the date of… Read more
purchase, not when it arrives. I realise this is probably not legal but what can we do about it? Avoid this company is what.
Ordered a pair of underwear from this company on February 9th,heard NOTHING until February 26th,when the claim that theyve FINALLY SENT THEM.DO NOT HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF FAITH IN PRODUCT,IF THIS IS LEVEL OF SERVICE! Supposed to be shipped within THREE DAYS after ordering,taken SEVENTEEN,then tracking DOESNT WORK. DONT DO IT!!
Winx motor cycle shorts, absolute rubbish. Poor quality, months to arrive and uncomfortable. The padding is ok but the spandex is very uncomfortable don’t get deceived by the marketing.

Beware before ordering from Winx Wheels - You may never receive it – BEWARE !!! I ordered a pair of riding pants back on Dec 29th. I received order confirmation and on the 2nd a shipping tracking number. Well, that's where the wheels come off. According to the tracking, it left Whittier CA to Hayward CA (Approx 378 miles away) on the 2nd of January with the last update being "Departed Shipping Partner… Read more
Facility, USPS Awaiting Item". I'm not sure what others here may have had with the USPS but I know it doesn't take 16 days and counting to get to USPS in a city the size of Hayward, California (Just out side of San Francisco). Not even if someone walked to the post office to send it.
For weeks, I've had [Name Removed] offering up one apology after another with no offer to resolve. In a situation where it is clearly lost, a reputable company would send a replacement order if they cared about preserving that relationship with their customers. Not this place. They are quick with the apologies and faster with a discount code for being "understanding" but won't offer a solution.
I hope someone sees this before ordering with Winx. I will never buy from this company again.
The pants have no armor. They just hold foam pads – They try to pretend these are the $200 or so level armored pants that a number of other companies sell, but the ones they sell have absolutely no Kevlar or Aramid fabric in the seat or knees (or at all). These are stretch fit pants with pockets for pads. I reached out to customer service and after 2 days the response to my long email with a list… Read more
of concerns was
"Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we sincerely apologize if our product did not meet your expectations. Please make sure that I will raise your concern with our management for future product improvements.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you,"
No solution, or explanation of why their ads seem to claim / imply that the pads are added protection when in fact they are the only source of protection. These are not some $200+ dollar real riding pants that happen to be 50% off, these are literally a slim fit pant with some stretch zones that you can put pads into. I could literally just put an elastic band on the knee and hip pads and not wear the actual pants to get as much protection if not more since regular jeans are likely thicker and would probably last longer in a slide.
Update 7/27/23:
I have received an email from presumably one of their customer service people stating the following:
"What we can offer is a partial refund of 10% as an act of good will if you weren't satisfied with the features and inclusions. We have thousands of satisfied customers and we do understand that not all customers have the same opinions about the product they received. However, if the original tags and labels of your purchased product are still intact, remains unwashed, and on its perfect condition, you can return them for a refund, please also be advised that incoming returns are being checked manually to guarantee that the policy is being followed. Alternatively, we would like to give you a $15 store credit and a free shipping offer if you'd be interested to purchase a different product from our store."
Again, not addressing at all the fact that they claim these to be safety pants with out any slide protection and!!! Read what the agent said compared to what the website advertises.
Website / Advertisement on Winxwheels.com: "Once you receive our product, you have 90 days to USE it. If for some reason you don't love it Simply email our support team, and we will refund your purchase amount in full"
Agent via support email: "However, if the original tags and labels of your purchased product are still intact, remains unwashed, and on its perfect condition, you can return them for a refund, please also be advised that incoming returns are being checked manually to guarantee that the policy is being followed."
This company is a scam on multiple levels.
Save your time and money – Sizes are misleading and quality is over estimated. I definitely don't believe these will offer any real protection in a fall or accident. Knee protection falls below the knee to form shin protection and hip pads would barley help reduce any impact. Quality is 70% cotton 28% polyester and 2% spandex not what I would call a safe investment. Definitely overpriced and under protected
Positive reviews
Pleased – I ordered the riding pants and they had a slight blemish in them that did not affect the performance of the pants. I contacted Winx Wheels and they offered a return or partial refund option. Since I do like the pants, they fit nicely and are comfortable to wear when riding; I took the refund option. Winx promptly issued the refund. Show 3 replies
Motorcycle lock replacement provided – Bought a motorcycle lock used twice in the in a few months then a 3rd time and it would not lock, I reached out to Winx and after a few emails back & forth they provided a replacement. Excellent service Thank You. Show reply
Turbo lock and pants – After a few bumps along the way,received my lock and pants today, lock fits and does what's advertised, the pants look great,fit well and the armour seems good enough, although the knee armour does seem to sit low,but haven't tried them on the bike yet. Not sure how much protection they'd offer in a slide, but they'll definitely be cooler in… Read more
summer than my kevlar jeans. Addressing some of the negative reviews here regarding communication .. yes my comments were deleted from Facebook, but the issues I had with delivery were addressed by Winx not long after those comments were posted, they reached out to me and communication was excellent, professional and received a full refund for the express delivery which turned out to be not so much of an express delivery lol. From the time the issue was raised to delivery was 4 days. All in all a positive experience.
Negative reviews
Credit card scam – My elderly father who rides a motorcycle ordered from this company and 2 days later a mysterious charge appeared on his credit card. Buyer beware when dealing with them
Don't buy from Winx. BEWARE – I recently ordered ridingnpants from winx wheels and never received an order number. I followed up and was communicating with their support team and suddenly I was ghosted. I provided all the information they asked for to locate my order but they have stopped communicating with me. Very poor service and this company is a scam
never delivered – I never received my order (2 pants) I raise a reclamation, it's very very slow although i received a certificate of loss from the carrier.. reclamation has been raise the 23th of November at Paypal level... a lot of exchange... i am still waiting the Winx wheels answer for refund.. Finally, the courrier sent me a report as a proof of lost, i raised a claim to Paypal to be refund....although Winxwheels wanted to refund only 50 %...

I don't think this product even exists – Ordered the padded shorts 3 weeks ago, still no proof of dispatch or if the product even exists, despite several emails. It's a scam! If an actual shop treated customers this way they would be arrested for fraud.

Do not buy anything from this company. The two items I purchased/ordered in July received one item wrong size and sent back cancelled the other and ask for a full refund. The company since that request just a couple days ago now shipped the other item which I will defuse they only refunding 20% of original order. Scam company and not fair at all in their refunds

Do not buy this inferior product – A pair of standard jeans have more protection than these. Their customer service is non existent with a different name person contacting you every time and offering an apology and a refund that never eventuates.

Ineffective – Ordered two bike short with jell padding. Size S. Received the product after two weeks and it seems good quality. First time used for road bike after 20 miles noticed: 1.

Not good – I ordered two pair of pants,needed them in a week or so for a trip. I asked how fast express shipping was, was told 2 to 3 days after processing and that was 2 days and that would be enough time to get to me for my trip. I ordered on 8/25 or 26 so should have gotten the order by 30,31, or even 9-1. Not getting here until 9-4 to late for trip. I… Read more
would not have ordered and paid extra for express shipping if I new it was going to be a mess like this. Winx Wheels customer service is a joke, you cannot talk to a person when you call you leave your order number and phone number and they will call you back. Been trying from 8/27 and still haven't heard back on a phone call. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER! Order number WW3219974.

Don't buy the motorcycle gear – The moto gear from Winx is outright dangerous. All their gear would be illegal to sell in the UK and Europe. The owner of Winx clearly doesn't have a conscience. If you value your skin don't buy it.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE – DO NOT PURCHASE The quality of the pant was substandard and I would not feel comfortable using them. I do not believe they would protect you in an accident. The hip padding is cheap rubber padding and the knee protectors are plastic. The brown leather gloves and NOT mbrown leather gloves and the quality is no where near the investment. Again I… Read more
would not feel comfortable wearing these in an accident and they are nothing close to the picture advertised. The lock is cheap cast alloy and loose fitting and is not worth half the money I paid in my opinion. DO NOT PURCHASE from this store. Their advertising is very misleading and the product not as described

STAY AWAY – Just read the reviews listed here, and the response from “Manny”. It’s identical in all cases—proof that they care very little about the customer. I also was given a tracking # on June 5, it is now June 17, and USPS says they do not yet have the package. It is a SCAM. Do NOT do business with this Company. It is being turned over to California attorneys—suspected FRAUD

No kelvar protection – I received my order of Winx motorcycle cargo pants to find that although they have knee and hip pads but no kevlar slide protection. I have never seen marketed motorcycle pants that don't have this fundamental safety feature. I have written to Winx to return them under their 90 day return policy...but at this stage only crickets. Hopefully I get a response shortly.

Cheap made crap – Ordered my size pants the knee pads are below my knees they are made from some chinsy stretchy material an the knee an hip pads are made of foam there is no way they would stand up to a motorcycle crash an they look like skinny jeans an they won't pay for return shipping not real happy with the product I will never order from them again an I will not recommend them to anyone

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE – I have ordered products from this company twice. I should have learned after the first experience to no do further business with this company. Their shipping and tracking of orders is useless. They say it has shipped, but it hasn't. It's always "waiting for carrier dropoff." Emails to customer service are returned fairly promptly with the… Read more
same canned empty promise responses that you get every single time you reach out to them. They are "concerned" and they have "assigned a personal customer service rep" to your issue to make sure things get "resolved." It's all hooey.
First time around, they took so long to get me the bicycle pants I ordered that I went ahead and bought a pair from a local store. When I tried to return the pair that eventually showed up, they made it so INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT and expensive that it wasn't worth returning. Second time around they told me the product shipped even though the USPS said they NEVER got the package. A week of back and forth with Winx and I get a "personal message from the CEO" indicating that their product is so popular that they are out of stock of what I ordered. This is AFTER they sent me the tracking number that never actually worked and AFTER I traded emails with "customer service" multiple times where they confirmed that they didn't have the product in stock and hadn't actually shipped it (despite having charged my card) and weren't sure when it would ship. I told them to cancel the order. The response from "customer service" was that they had already shipped the item and i'd have to go through their return process to get a refund. This was AFTER they told me they didn't have any stock and that it HAD NOT shipped. THEY REALLY REALLY DO NOT HAVE A GRASP OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY unless you are willing to deal with incompetent customer service, delayed shipments, a pretty much untenable return policy and outright lies.

Don't be in a hurry to receive your items – Ordered my pants on the 13th of March and on the 30th they are still not here. Initially told it was a courier issue, now it is a low product issue due to high demand. Site says 7 to 10 business days don't hold your breath.
Buy a recognised brand – Jeans just arrived at the door. They are nothing more than a lightweight stretch fabric with no more abrasion resistance than normal jeans and thinner than some. They are comfortable being stretch fabric but they don't even come close to neo jeans or draggin jeans for quality and more importantly safety. Look elsewhere or save money by buying the exact same jeans on Aliexpress for $35 to $47 dollars, likewise aramid jeans available.

Bad customer return experience – I bought a hand lock for my husbands bike for Christmas. He never opened the package because he already had something similar. I contacted Winx Wheels almost immediately to get a return. They wanted photos of the packaging, the product and the receipt. All sent. Took them a week to even get a response on where to send the return. Then it took about 7 weeks to get the $33.00 refund. Just ridiculous!

Bought these Winx pants a while back – Finally wore them today (10/2/24) on my motorbike for roughly 7 hrs with breaks. Sorry to say absolutely rubbish. I preserved all day but nothing like the add.

Honest review of the moto pants – Overall I am happy with the purchase because I can use the pants for everyday use or rides around the city but I would like to note the following. I will start by saying that the pants do look great and fit well, they are very comfortable and can be worn on or off the bike but when it comes to safety, there is next to none. I will admit that after… Read more
reading through the product description again, I saw that the CE rating is only for the knee pads, not the actual pants themselves. Being mostly cotton mixed with spandex, these pants will provide you with no protection in a slide scenario. It's unfortunate that the company uses the marketing term "best gear on the market" when in reality, it offers no actual protection apart from the knee pads. After trying to leave this review on the company website, it seems the would not approve the post to potentially protect their image.
