They are the comfiest protection jeans I've had,they are made from Dynatec but it looks and feels just like denim,and in abrasive tests it out performs leather,it also has removable hip and knee protection, i leave them in all the time as you don't really notice them. they have a similar fit to a pair of levi 501s. you have to make sure you buy the correct length as you cant shorten them due to the waterproof lining..and yes i can vouch for them being waterproof . it took me months to convince myself to shell out all that money on a pair of jeans (i am scottish )..but they are not just jeans think of them as a technical pair of motorbike trouser that look and feel just like an ordinary pair of jeans, the only downside i had was when it was hot the waterproof lining can make you feel even hotter..if it's hot i wear a very light pair of base layer long johns underneath and that solves the problem
Any one got these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Moto...hash=item281a1a4539:m:mkGUxcWxiq_rCjKxMuDmkgQ
They don't appear to be making any claim about being waterproof, so I assume they're not? Also they only have kevlar reinforcing in certain areas, so you need to plan carefully how you're going to crash land
I bought a similar pair last year. They are not the best quality, the kevlar,as biglad said,is next to no use at all, the denim is quite thin too, only good bit for me was the knee and hip armour but it is in a cheap velcro type pocket and I am sure it wouldnt stay there in an accident. better off paying the price for decent quality jeans. Have to say tho that I like the fit, I have lost 4 and a half stone and they are snug and flatter me,lol. I do have a pair of aldi's bike jeans, they are a little better but at only £38 quid or so again they arent the best and no hip armour supplied,had to put my own in.
Hood gets my vote, British manufactured and a great service, made to any length FOC and a good comfortable fit on and off the bike. You feel protected with the full Kevlar lining but can also insert pads if wanting further protection. I wear them daily and will be getting a second pair in black. Good value for money and a quality product.
I splashed out on a pair of Rokker jeans and they are superb, not cheap but I have to say having bought other ones, these are of a massively better quality level.
Looked at RST Isle of Man, today they seemed thin and only partly linned. they get great reviews though. Any one have these?
HI, Always was a bit dubious with how protective they might be, BUT can talk from experience, Halvarssons Yago jeans do an excellent job, as do there Mech pants(wife can testify to them!). And the Yago ones are waterproof, lived in mine till they had to be cut off, don't reckon anything would have saved the knee! And a lot cheaper than Rokker....
I had some RST jeans a few years ago.... I'm a great lover of their leather kit having used it to the extreme having a off at Silverstone a couple of years ago.... but the jeans are thin and not that well protected with Draggin, Rokker you get what you pay for....
