Belstaff have proven themselves to be heavyweights in the Adventure/Touring market after the release of the Long Way Up series, and accompanying range of kit. Versatile riding gear that can handle the worst of the elements but is also breathable and vented enough if the temperature rises is essential for an epic journey like that, and whilst the M40 might not quite hold the same challenge as the mountains of Patagonia, the new Belstaff Route trousers will ensure you are prepared for whatever the road throws at you.

A tough 750D Cordura outer shell combined with Cordura ripstop at the knee, and stretch Cordura panels throughout for increased comfort and mobility provides the abrasion resistance. Coupled with the removable Level 2 D3O armour at the knee and hip, this is one protective pair of riding trousers - CE AA, no less. The outer is backed by a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex Membrane - nothing but the best here. You can certainly trust that no matter how hard the rain pours, you’re going to stay dry. And when the going gets hot, the mesh liner will keep you comfortable, and vents aplenty will help with cooling airflow.

Subtle reflective branding and strips around the bottom of the trousers help with visibility without being too garish. The ankle features adjustable straps and an expansion gusset for the perfect fit over whatever boots you choose to wear, and an anti-slip seat reinforcement patch is more useful than you might think on those long wet rides.

The Route Trousers could be your ticket to planning that dream trip with your mates. But don’t worry if you never get round to it, they’ll serve pretty fantastically as an all-weather everyday riding trouser.
