Kevlar Jeans - Recommendations?

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Berry, Jan 26, 2018.

  1. Now I've ridden about in the Rokker Revolution jeans I can vouch to them being pretty damned good. Got caught is a shower this morning and only the jeans were wet!

    The only thing I would say is after wearing leather bike trousers -still my preference- I notice I'm sliding around on the seat more than usual under hard braking. Nothing drastic, but as my seat has anti skid surface its something to be aware of.

    Glad I bought these jeans even though they cost far too much.

  3. These are purported to be the strongest jean available on the market:

    Also Klim make some very decent jeans I pRefer straight skinnies so I wear Dainese Jeans but only on Short easy rides. I will probably move to Saint but will wait for them to go on sale.

    For the canyons it’s a one piece leather suit, no other options

  4. Buy English. Hood is what you need.
     
  5. Maybe they've changed but I had some Hood jeans that were a terrible fit and the lining made them hotter than leathers. Rokkertechs are my preference by a country mile, great fit/styling, great armour, cool in warm weather and impressive protection. Wore them to the Dolomites and back a couple of years ago and will be wearing them on a trip crossing France to Corsica and back in 8 weeks time. Expensive but well worth it IMHO.

  6. I haven't worn Hood jeans, but I doubt they will be better than Rokker. Hood say nothing about being cool to wear and waterproof on their site either.

  7. I wore Hood jeans for a few years but the one thing i found was they were baggy fit and heavy but they are a reasonable price unlike Rokker but Rokker jeans are sooooooo nice and a great fit and really light, but yes they are pricey but what price would you pay for good leather pants?
     
  8. Hood are £160, there not that much in it really...

  9. And the Rokker Rokkertech are much more comfortable and really cool in hot weather and i found the Revolution waterproof ones are good in the cold as well :upyeah:.
     
  10. When I was looking around for some, the UK Draggin importer bloke sent me a box of four different styles to try, as my (seemingly bigger than average) thighs cause problems with a lot of trousers. This was mainly because Riders (Bristol) used to be my local outlet but are useless. Oh, and the purpose of this - the box of jeans was free on trust to me - I just returned the three I didn't want... That's what I call service :punch:

  12. I have some Hood jeans, the ones with the loops that go under your boots. I had to send them straight back as the loops were held on with about 3 threads!! They returned them sewed on properly but i find them very warm, heavy and a bit baggy so I've just bought some Oxford riding jeans. They have hip & knee armour and fit much better but I've not rode in them yet.
