Best motorcycle jeans | Single layer vs lined: THE TRUTH​

Skin shear, never heard of it before......YIKES! FastForward 10:37
I've been on the fence, this is quite the informative vid, thank you for sharing

@Sochi he does mention further into the video that he's ridden it in hot conditions too (other climates). In the end better sweat than bleed :)
 

Best motorcycle jeans of 2023​


the comments below the youtube video are pretty interesting...
 
Bump.

I have a pair of Revit Jeans which are fine to go on very short local trips to the grocery store or similar, but want a pair of better quality riding jeans that have better abrasion resistance and ability to upgrade the armour down the road. Might swing by Perth County Moto since I've never been there either.

Looking at the KLIM K Fifty 2 or something comparable. Here's a pretty good summary of the better ones out there:

Also just came across these jeans, which seem to be the best on the market right now, especially since the leg armour is height adjustable and sits towards the outside of the knee. Anyone ever tried the Pando Moto Arnie Slim Jeans?

Look at old soul moto. Just completed a trip to the east coast. 5400kms wearing their pants. Black ones. No complaints.
Also have a pair of Klim jeans. A bit better. Also warmer.
 
I should note. With old soul moto pants, the knee pads are removable from the outside with an almost invisible zipper. Big positive for me. The Klim's you have to pull the pants inside out to remove them. Klim's have the addition of a tail bone pad. Old souls don't.
 
Liking my PMJ jeans so far, very comfortable and also has nice features like access to the knee protectors from the outside. Made in Italy. Size 32 is pretty close to my 31 street jeans fit.

Smoking deal if you wear larger sizes

 
Been wearing Carhartt Carpenter jeans for years. Being cotton, they are comfortable for long rides.
They are tough, and the double layer at the front is a big help in spring, fall and winter. I buy them a couple of inches too long, that way I can tuck them into a bungee around my boot, to stop the draft. For the summer, I roll them up, and allow the draft.
Another plus: These jeans enable me to wear full-length knee protection, underneath the denim. Designed for off-roaders, to protect the knee and the shin. Handy out there on the roads, with those numpties called car-drivers.
 
Scored a pair of new Klim K Fifty 2 pants, but without the armour.
Now just have to decide between getting the ghost armour or the regular D3O L2 armour.

Anyone tried both before and have a preference?

I have the L2 ghost armor in the elbows of my mesh jacket, and I really love it. It has a fabric backing that I find helps it slide around a bit less when wearing, and it's extremely pliable so you barely notice it's there. Much nicer than the regular L2 armour that came in my Bull-It jeans. Haven't crashed in it (knock on wood), so can't comment on how it compares in an impact, though...

Thanks for that. I was reading more about the newer D3O and see they now have a Diablo armour which is supposed to be even better than the Ghost for protection, but on par for lightweight and flexibility. I just ordered some so hope I like it.
