Best Motorcycle Riding Jeans 2020 

As a stunt rider im happy with a old pair of cargo trouser/shorts not the safest but definitely the most comfortable ! 😂

A glitch. Should be patched on the next server maintenance.

Neo Smith I too went down in some RevIT jeans. Pretty sure I would have broken a hip without them.

It’s so frustrating every time I find a pair of jeans that I like and has the right amount of protection especially in the seat, sold out ugh! Are the biggest they make is like a size 38 hell I was born a size 38

No, that's not really typical. If looking for something similar, though, consider the Speed and Strength Havoc Taper Fit Jeans. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/SSHavocJeans

For something slimmer I would suggest taking a look at the Bull-it Tactical Slim Fit Jeans: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bull-it-tactical-slim-fit-jeans These have Covec fibers woven into the jean to create a full abrasion resistant chassis. They also have pockets to accept CE Level 2 armor, available here: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bull-it-ce-level-2-knee-and-hip-armor-kit I hope that helps! -Zack

No, the Klim jeans don't have much stretch at all. Consider the Pando Moto Boss 9 Jeans, REV'IT! Moto Jeans, and REV'IT! Philly 2 Jeans though. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/PandoMotoBossJeans_j *bit.ly/REVIT_MotoJeans *bit.ly/REVIT_PhillyJeans_j

Not really 100% sure what exactly look you are going for when you refer to 'slacks' however, if you search for "chinos' on the RevZilla search bar I think you might be surprised by some of the options we currently have. I would be hesitant to recommend anything specifically since it is based on your office environment in this case, but that should get you started. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our customer service Gear Geeks! - Pat

What's your jeans waist size and inseam? -DrewZilla

@@RevZilla 44 or 46 x 30

It's the REAX Fairmount Riding Shirt. It has all the protection of a jacket, but it looks more casual. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/REAX_Fairmount_j

They're actually triple-stitched. The double-stitched seams (two plain seams) are hidden, and then the stitch you see in the contrasting color is a top-stitch seam. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/BestRidingJeans2020

The Speed and Strength Havov Men's Jeans have a taper fit, but they don't have elastic at the ankles. There are a number of women's armored moto leggings that have a tapered, stretchy fit. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/SSHavocJeans *bit.ly/MotoLeggings_j

They do not. If interested in hip armor, you could wear armored shorts or take a look at the following Speed & Strength jeans, which do have hip pockets. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/SpeedStrengthJeans

I’m wondering if maybe a pair of hip pockets could be added to them or sewn in.

The SquidRider I’m 6’6” and the street and steel Oakland jeans are juuuust barely long enough. Pretty few options at 36” length

Yeah me too! Finding jeans is a pain normally, add motorcycle specific and it's just a PITA!

Of all the 32x36 options we have, the Pando Moto Mark Chinos have the most stretch, so they shouldn't ride up when in the riding position. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/32x36_RidingJeans *bit.ly/PandoMotoMarkChinos_j

Adam B i don’t know about the new John Doe pants but the old models Kamikaze Jeans and Cargo were super high quality with Kevlar not only on the impact zones but the whole pant. Here are some important points to note tho: 1.they fit a size or two smaller compared to let’s say Levi’s Jeans cuz of the Kevlar lining 2.the knee protection only fits perfectly if your bike has forward or mid controls and a smaller angle then 90• will push the protector sideways on your knee 3.some videos marketed the old gear as waterproof which it’s not, it’s water resistant and one can bring the resistance back by steam ironing the fabric 4. iirc the old pants had no option for hip protection

Had them they where crap 0 stretch most uncomfortable Jean I ever bought. There hoodie are good tho.

Only 883 you cant have stretch and CE approval

I bought a pair of Bull-it SR6 jeans last year. I really liked them but it feels like there's not enough material from the crotch to the waistband. Is that a UK fashion style for the jeans to sit low on the hips or is it just how they made the jeans?

I think it's just the way they are cut, not had that problem myself. Had a pair of Klim that were all kinds of weird. The knees were half way down the shin and the waist band too high making the butt of the jean hang way too loose. I'll never buy online clothing again lol.. best thing you can do is try as many as possible 🤘

So what I get out of most of these comments is that the jeans on the video are AA rated while the best is AAA? Should i google AAA jeans when looking for best protection?

Yup.. AAA is the better

With the slip on pants I think you were describing chaps

I see what you're doing, but I don't care. I wouldn't be mad at all about being in a movie with Scarlett Johansson. Not at all.

I have slightly larger more athletic thighs (years of Ice Hockey/Skateboarding), and I find that the Klim K Fifty 1 or K Fifty 2's fit as Boot and Straight Cut's respectfully. If you are looking for something a bit more slim at the bottom, I really enjoy the fitment of some of the Pando Moto options out there.

RevZilla thanks for the quick reply, I’ll be sure to check all those out. Thanks

Seriously! I don't get why almost all riding jeans are so skinny, I mean...we wear riding boots so why not make bootcut riding jeans!

@@PkwyDrive13 Seems that a lot of the riding jeans are geared more towards the Hipster crowd for certain. More fashion than function.

We featured them last year and so wanted to feature some other great options this year. -DrewZilla

Look at PMJ jeans. Street, Deux and New Rider models are single layer.

Could you just get the next size up in length?

Lyell Harrington , Draggin jeans are probably one the most protective of the current jeans (AAA and level 2). But, yes, very pricey. The most protective are often the most bulky. That’s just physics. Bull-it makes lots of jeans so it’s best to be specific about which ones. They have oneskin (tactical AA rated), lined (covert AAA) and the discontinued (SR6 level 1, SR8 level 2) ones but still on sale at Revzilla. The Bull-it VeloCE are up there with Draggin for abrasion protection but both are going to be bulky. Does Revzilla sell Resurgence? I couldn’t find them on their website. They aren’t going to put videos about jeans they don’t actually sell. There are quite a few great jeans, if that’s your thing, that Revzilla don’t sell. Hood, Resurgence, Roadskin paranoid, and more.

@@martinfoster5163 Resurgence jeans is an Canadian company and they seriously kicking the likes of Draggin jeans & Bull-it jeans in the wallet in the New Zealand market for the shear value of the performance & fit comfort compared to those brands, the other brands from the european zone are facing the same hit in the wallet. 99.9999% of the riding kit in New Zealand is imported so been choosy is the best option you have when it comes to buying kit , my riding kit is basically from all over the world except my riding boots they've alway been Italian. When I brought my first pair of Resurgence Jeans I had three brand choices to choose from in the shop, each of the jeans were all fully lined to 80% full leg(NO NEED OF 100% LEG COVER DUE TO THE BOOT STYLE I RIDE WITH) & back side cover protection/latest gen armour and straight fit cut style - the winner was Resurgence jeans then Draggin jeans then in distant last Bull-it jeans. Was disappointed with the Draggin's due to their excessive price & fit comfort, the Bull-it's were just plain off in the design fit and feel on & off the bike(seriously those riding jeans just didn't work for their purpose), the biggest surprise was the Resurgence jeans - the fit comfort incredible from brand new on & off the bike (like a pair of classic straight fit cut Levi's jeans), the most comfortable temperature wise as well, the armour even comfortable to use( the biggest surprise of the lot) and the best price as well considering that both Draggin's & Bull-it's armour were extra cost. The other thing that the Resurgence jeans proved when it comes to fully lined jeans, you don't have to suffer the adult nappies effect - yes you know you're got a fully lined bit of riding kit on but it can be actually comfortable to wear as well. I was not joking about the magazine review of the Bull-it jeans fully lined type been called adult nappies wedged into jeans, got a pair of them myself( why do you think I was in shop in the first place buying a better pair of jeans). I'll stand by my words about the guys at Revzilla needing to look further afield when doing a best of product video , the choices they presented were looking very limited, I could go into my local bike shop and order just about anything from the around world when it comes to riding kit from their suppliers.

Can i order from Italy thru their websites?

They are pricey, but I ate shit doing over 40 wearing a pair of Revit Philly 2 jeans with C1 armor and they kept me out of the ER. I did have some serious trauma on my left leg, but no breaks or road rash. Just swelling and bruising as I landed on my left knee with about 250lbs plus my bike. Your carhartt's would have been destroyed , but the pads would have most likely saved your knee(s). Sounds like your method may work as well, but not sure if I am sold.

I’d guess Carhartt’s would last 1 second in a slide. Not to mention rip or shred. I consider not only knee pads essential but hip pads too. I’m 56 and can’t afford to be hospitalized and out of work so I take my safety very seriously.

Why are people falling over??? Learn to ride..

My experience is that no one gives a crap about us big guys. Only one company makes a helmet big enough for my alien head. Jackets are very difficult to find and pants are basically impossible. Probably part of why most chunky cruiser riders don't wear gear.

What's your jeans size? -DrewZilla

Thats really fucked

Blue collar South Philadelphia, actually. Protect yourself as well as you can though, as long as you get out and ride we don't judge. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely they need to keep up with modern cuts. Not all of us are big heavy cruiser guys. They need to show some slim fits, skinny fits, slim tapered

@@yardenl1998 There are skinny jeans out there just not in this video.

no kidding just buy a pair of walmart jeans and some Kevlar Cloth sew it inside where it is needed

I think you mean Armalith. Armalith is just a brand name for a specific combination of cotton and UHMWPE fibers. Rokker's high-end RokkerTech Jeans use cotton and UHMWPE in a single layer. The new RokkerTech Rider Jeans use cotton with polyarylate in a single layer to achieve a similar abrasion resistance, so there are a number of options we carry similar to Armalith. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/BestRidingJeans2020

You can purchase, try on at home, and return within 30 days if you don't like them. However, once you go out and ride with them on the bike, they're yours. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/BestRidingJeans2020

A number of REV'IT! Jeans are featured on the full Jeans Guide Page. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/BestRidingJeans2020

Eat more and lift weights girly man.

Wear regular fit jeans like a normal person. I'm 6' 160lbs and I can't stand skinny jeans, no flexibility and make me look more like a twig than I want to be.

Rev it lombard 2 work great for me and I got thin legs 👍

They're all pretty skinny..

Have a cheeseburger

I think you might be after the Klim K Fifty 1 Jeans. They have made this list a few years in the past and are the relaxed cut version of the K Fifty 2 Jeans. Sounds like more of what you are after.

Every single pair of Riding Jeans in this video has some form of Abrasion Resistance built into them. Not all companies use the same materials, but everything on this list is designed to work in a slide. Not sure which one you are referring to but I would recommend taking a look at the product details for whichever one you seem to take issue with. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat

TJ Jones probably need a separate segment for women as fit needs for y’all are more specific. Granted, they mentioned two options.

I mean they did mention 2 options...they could have all together just didn't mention any.

Please see our dedicated Women's Gear Guide for additional options. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/BestWomensGear2020_j

They only mentioned one pair of "jeans", the point I'm making is it sounded like they were going to have women's jeans in each category. @revzilla I buy all my gear from you, so I'm very familiar with your website, but thanks for responding lol

😂

Martin Foster Covec Airflow offers only level 1 protection and doesn't mention any of your security standards either. Yikes!

Fair point until you dig deeper. The Bull-it Covec airflow suit gets 6 seconds of impact abrasion on EN13595 (tested by Satra) which is not quite enough for level 2 (7 seconds). But more than enough for the new EN17092 AAA (about 4 seconds) in high abrasion zones. You get this all over with the undersuit. Furthermore, I don’t wear the undersuit alone. I’ll wear it UNDER race leathers, UNDER textiles, or UNDER motocross clothes. Obviously I’m adding huge protection down to very little extra. If I were forced to suggest the best rider jeans at any price, I’d pick Draggin’ Next gen seamless (sold as “Drayko Hole shot jeans” on Revzilla for $400) or Bull-it VeloCE Jeans (discontinued but still available in large sizes for about $125). Both get EN13595 level 2 for around 7+ seconds of slide. I’ve got 2 pairs of riding jeans but honestly I don’t wear them much for riding. They don’t fit my typical riding style of mainly adventure (70/30 on/off road).

Martin Foster EN13595 level 2 requires 7 seconds at 18 mph. EN17092 AAA requires the suit to protect against abrasion speeds from 28 (impact zone 3) up to 74 mph (in zone 1).

Absolutely correct but that’s where we need to dig deeper again. The Darmstadt machine starts at a certain speed (74mph as you said for zone 1) then drops the material samples onto the concrete and slides to a full stop under the material’s own friction on the concrete tile. From what I’ve heard by experts, this takes about 3-4 seconds for most material. You can watch videos and time it. I can’t explain why because I’m not a scientist but all the jeans that have passed AAA, also get >=3.5 seconds of slide time on the Cambridge machine. You can do your own checking. But I’ll make a suggestion: Bull-it covert are AAA jeans and the Motocap time is 3.6 so actually they wouldn’t have actually passed EN13595 level 1! Whereas the older Bull-it SR6 jeans were EN1595 level 1 and average around 5 seconds on Motocap’s Cambridge machine. Smarter people than me (PPE scientists/consultants) have said that EN13595 is 40-60% more agressive for abrasion than EN17092. It was made easier for textile makers who complained they couldn’t pass level 1. Like I said, I’m content with AAA or level 1. Level 2 was really designed for racing leathers. In fact, many racing leathers company still use this certification because it was far more stringent than the new one. The best I can say about EN17092 AAA is that the garment MUST include level 2 armour in all major impact zones. That’s new and potentially more important than abrasion for accident injuries.

It does seem to be getting more difficult to find a pair of riding jeans that doesn't cater to the Hipster crowd nowadays.

"Ok boomer" is such an annoying/overused response to these types of comments, but ok boomer.
