Motorcycle Jeans ?

[Dusty ST]

I went for Rokker jeans with 3DO ghost armour, they're supposed to have been tested to give a longer sliding protection than leather.
Blimmin expensive for a pair of jeans, but similar price to decent leathers, and closest for comfort and looks to a pair of normal jeans, certainly more comfy than my Hood kevlar lined jeans as they're lighter, and cooler when it's hot.

Not on their website, however they are available here via mail order from a crowd in Sydney, bloody expensive and I would need to try them on

Well done Mate. Stopped sugar, cakes, ice cream etc 7 years ago, lost 18kg. Probably 4 or 5 back on  but still all good. Buying new clothes just a real PIA. I drink too much beer but cant change spots on a, think its a leopard. 😂

I have some Aldi jeans, bought extra armour, they rate better in tests than some that are 5x price. Fit well, dont have a problem with them. If youre size is 92, know of some used, hardly used, $60 for 2 pair, i checked them out but didnt need. Might still be for sale.

Be more like 100 in metric speak

Are there special jeans for bikers?

[VladTepes]

Yep.

Basically they are denim jeans with Kevlar lining. Some are good, some aren't.
Some have inserts (knee and hip protectors) some don't.
I wear a set and think its a good compromise between leather pants and normal jeans.
There's always a risk and when it comes to it jeans will not protect you from impact
They will (to an extent) prevent your skin and muscle from being left as mince meat across the cheese grater bitumen if you come off.

Why are you looking for jeans in the mass market? Most bikers prefer simple or motorcycle jeans made of special fabric. Kevlar is an artificial material with increased strength qualities. This fabric is very dense and can even protect a motorcyclist in case of a fall. You should look for just such jeans and maybe you will find a pair you can also wear in the office. But some bikers, especially girls, wear regular jeans and change clothes in the office. Recently, my biker friend sent me a link to an article about link removed by admin , and I was very surprised because she thought she wasn't wearing anything like that.

I road in armoured jeans, of various makes, for years. Lighter and generally more comfy than leather. Can be just as expensive unless you shop around. Kevlar lined for sure. Thing is that no motorcycle jacket or jeans is made to prevent crash injuries, unless it has the equivalent of CE rated armour in elbows, knees etc when it will help. They're designed to prevent fusing with the road when you slide down it in an off. Jackets would need to be a metre thick to prevent actual crash damage, thats why some have airbags. Decent gloves AND decent boots are essentials I reckon, used to hate seeing kids riding around in trainers.
