The 2 jeans that are currently on my 'buy before the summer' list are the Dainese D6 and the Rev'It lombard jeans

Both these are, in my opinion, quite innovative.
Rather than a regular pair of jeans with reinforcements, these two use Kevlar and Cordura respectively actually woven into the fabric of the denim. The result is (apparently) 4 times the abrasion resistance of regular denim, the key areas are then further internally reinforced in the traditional way. As riding jeans go, I think they are actually quite stylish

That design looks suspiciously similar to a certain style of 'biker' jeans that the Korean fashion shops on eBay have been stocking since prehistory. IIRC those fashion jeans were knockoffs of some jeans by one of those big European fashion houses. Seems to me that some enterprising fellow just took those eBay jeans, added some pockets for armour and jacked up the price.

Can't give the specific product name as i've de-bagged n' tagged ages ago, but its near identical if not this

Versus the average UK textile/mesh gear its far superior though - i can only presume they invest a lot more time into the heat reduction side of things as they're catering more to the U.S market and particulaly stunting riders etc that aren't getting the wind-chill most of the time to cool them down.

I generally struggle to get snug fitting 2-piece gear, even if its leathers let alone textile or mesh. The equivalent UK alpinestars shite hangs like a binbag with armour flapping in the wind, or is so tight the armour digs in when you move your arms about much, but the Icon stuff seems to flex comfortably without compromising on the actual positioning on the armour.

Similar with icon gloves - again summer wear only in this case, but really ventilated without feeling flimsy or insecure.

Also have used an icon back protector for a while which was fine, but i was forced to ditch it in the end as the RST 1-piece wouldn't pocket it

I'm getting another pair of these when I have the cash, £89 with knee armour - best to wear a set of therms underneath for winter riding though. Tough and not too emo tight like a lot of bike gear
