After a decent pair of motorcycle jeans.

[TheSmiler]

I've been using my RST jeans for a few years however I got a small hole at the 2012 BBQ climbing over the fence; which has now ripped through into the kevlar.

So I'm in the market for another pair, however I fancy a change from the RST brand. So has anyone got any recommendations, preferably in black (not bright blue).

I don't think they look safe for motorcycle use so I'm out.

My Red Route ones were cheap and have lasted 5 years, they are still fine. Came from J&S I think.

They are the relaxed fit but they do a skinny version for young pups like yourself.

Pretty sure they only came in blue; but the Oxford K-Jeans I got a few weeks ago seem good - first ones i've managed to find that fit me comfortably like a normal pair of jeans in the same size would too.

Only cost £50 (knee inserts included) which was a lot cheaper than some other ones I looked at. Got mine from Mega Motorcycles in Swindon .

Aldi own brand stuff, as you know I went down fairly hard and came away with minimal injuries for saying i hit the ground then the bike hit me.

Not tested them in a crash but I like my Hood jeans, they certainly seem sturdy enough and are virtually fully lined.

What do you want most? Best protection, or most jean-like wearing experience?

[pinkyfloyd]

I got a pair of these.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141162107068?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=440237765945&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Yes they are cheap, but they are double stitched and seem pretty stong with it. Comfortable (I've worn them soaking wet too) and have protection in all the right places.

For the price, they are worth a punt.

I use red route, I have been patching them up for years. Great value!

Before you condemn them for not being great value, just think, if I have been patching them up, that means I've been crashing, which means, seeing as I don't think you can sew Kevlar, they are doing their job very well, as only the denim has "scar tissue" and "skin grafts" from an old pair of jeans. The old pair of jeans, ironically, I crashed in and shredded the left leg to pieces, both jeans and mine, so now they donate patches to the Red Routes!
