Can anyone recommend a pair of motorcycle jeans that don’t look too dorky or expensive. I’m a size 30 x30
Thanks
Thanks

As with most things, you can pick 2 of 3:
Stylish/Sturdy/Cheap
I have a pair of PMJ Deux single layer jeans that were/are the first two. Riders Choice had stock in store last summer.

This.
Cheap could be different for different ppl. If some japanese salvage could go up to $500 so a pair of kevlar re-inforced riding jeans for 250-300 suddenly looks like a deal....
What do you think - is $200 the minimum threshold for anything decent? And is that "cheap"?
I am looking for a pair myself, but it looks like nobody has sizes in stock, expensive or not...
I have the Pekev Jeans by Resurgence. I only wear them a few times a year for really local rides running errands. They seem to be really well made and robust. I would feel confident that they will protect well in a slide at low to moderate speed. They are quite thick, so I wouldn't suggest them for mid-summer use, but they would be excellent for use between 10-25deg temps.

Looks like GP bikes sells a bunch of the Resurgence jeans, but not the ones I have specifically.

I bought John Doe cargo pants Defender and even for a single layer those are pretty thick (use search to find my review in another thread)
I am split on these ones - i wish they were a bit darker, more "indigo" - but these are a single layer AAA rated (highest)...

P.S. and these are "only" $330CAD lol

+1 on these.
I have them and have crashed in them. The hip padding did its job as did the Kevlar. I slid about 30ft and had no road rash or bruising. The stitching came apart at the hip where the impact happened. Bought another pair with insurance $.
They are my go to riding pant.
I’ve got the Defender and Dylan mono jeans. Hard to believe they’re AAA as they’re literally just like cargos and jeans. Pretty incredible.I bought John Doe cargo pants Defender and even for a single layer those are pretty thick (use search to find my review in another thread)

where did you buy the riding jeans? Perth Moto in St. Catherine?
I’ll look into this to see if I can have a test fit. I looked at riding jeans for a while and found them all to be too cumbersome for my liking

I have 3 pair.
Cortech. Draggin' Jeans. Joe Rocket.
The JR pair weren't too uncomfortable. They used to fit when I was 50lbs to the upside.
The Cortech and Draggin' require suspenders because they're so heavy. Not comfortable at all.
I got very cozy last season with a pair of Dainese textile pants in the heat. (always wear leathers otherwise).

Didn’t have my size so I ended up buying from John Doe directly.
I’ve got a pair of Dylan monos for sale if you’re a 32x32 BNWT. I’d say they fit bigger than a typical 32x32 and have some stretch.
I have a couple pairs of the JR Atomic (they’ve changed slightly but mine look like those) jeans since 2014 and they’re now just starting to be worn out (around 150,000km of riding over that time). Worn them in 40c heat and were warm but not more so than regular jeans.
Textile pants are what I’m leaning to now. I generally where jeans but that extra layer is always a good thing

i have a pair of Knox brighton cordura jeans. armor at the knees and hips. had to get them hemmed but otherwise are super comfy to me cause they're stretchy.
