Review of the best motorcycle jeans of 2024

Any hobby requires some training and costs. In the case of motorcycling or a simple hobby of riding a motorcycle, in addition to physical training, you still need to know some subtleties about equipment, which has an important protective function. It goes without saying that you will have to spend a lot of money on the purchase of high-quality workwear, since safety will depend on it.

Biker jeans have recently become especially popular due to the fact that the motorcycle has become a means of daily transportation. This type of transport is more mobile on roads congested with cars, it is easier to avoid congestion and traffic jams along the way. That is why motorcycle jeans appeared in riding equipment, which became a compromise solution that allows you not to change clothes after moving from home to work, for example.

What is the Difference Between Regular and Motorcycle Jeans

Newbies often wonder what is the difference between regular jeans and moto jeans. This is initially worth studying fundamentally, information will be needed both for choosing and buying workwear, and for understanding the danger that may arise along the way.

1. Tighter jeans. A significant difference can be seen with the naked eye: quality denim or regular 100% cotton. Of course, natural cotton fabrics are durable, but not enough to become protection during falls at speed and even more so when sliding on the road. The density and quality of the denim used in sewing is in itself a barrier to injury.
2. Fit. Outfit jeans can be varied, but in the most reliable, silhouette narrowing prevails in order for the protection to fit snugly to the body.
3. Use of special inserts in potentially vulnerable places. These places will be the knees, sides of the hips. At the same time, the quality of the inserts may also differ: some manufacturers use dense 100% cotton (cotton) in several layers, while others use a special Kevlar fabric.

Kevlar is a para-aramid fiber fabric manufactured by DuPont. This fabric has high strength, body armor, helmets are made from it, tires for cars are reinforced with it, all super strong cables are made of Kevlar. This fabric is credited with many abilities, up to the ability to delay bullets.

4. Reinforcement of all seams when sewing. Such reinforcement is possible with the help of special threads for stitching along the entire perimeter of the product. This creates extra strength when rubbing and pulling the fabric while riding or falling.
5. On the inside, motorcycle jeans are provided with special niche stripes for installing mechanical protective equipment.
6. High and thickened waist (fit) and hips, which also support the back.
7. During cutting and sewing, special ventilation "hatches" are provided, the main task of which is to exclude the greenhouse effect between the product and the body.
8. Motorcycle jeans, in contrast to household models, have characteristics such as frost resistance, heat resistance, as well as increased resistance to abrasion.

Criteria for choosing biker jeans

Based on the above, it is easy to summarize the criteria by which you should choose motorcycle jeans:

• Completion (availability of additional mechanical protective equipment);
• What are the jeans made of and what quality are the seams;
• Are there protective, better Kevlar, inserts in vulnerable places;
• What is the cut of the model (the fit should be too high);
• Heat resistance, ventilation capacity.

Manufacturers make sure that everyone can choose the right model for themselves. There are tailored motorcycle jeans with hidden protection that are suitable for everyday wear, as well as models with decorative moments that make it unofficial (pockets, zippers to narrow the silhouette, etc.). Modern motorcycle jeans are designed with every possible detail. There are models with special rubber protectors that can be easily removed.
