Bowtex was founded by a BMW-mechanic from Brussels who gave up the search for the perfect motorcycle trousers. He, like so many of us, just wanted to wear his favourite jeans on the bike but felt bad about skimping on protection. So he developed the Bowtex abrasion resistant leggings.
These can easily be worn underneath your favourite trousers, no matter what fit those are. They are constructed from a stretchy, soft blend of Aramid fibres, Protex and cotton and have aramid fibre patches on the high-risk areas (knee, hip and bum) and there are pockets to fit knee and hip armour. They are soft to the touch and feel just like a pair of pyjama bottoms when wearing them. They'll offer an extra layer of clothing in winter but are breathable so can easily be worn all year round. The natural colour of aramid is yellow, so to achieve the black colour of this version, Bowtex had to mould the colour into the fabric, which explains the price difference.

- Great riding leggings 0 people found this helpfulThis stuff is genius and a game changer in comfort and safety.
- Very good purchase. Can wear 0 people found this helpfulVery good purchase. Can wear normal jeans and trouser over it and very comfortable. Save me buying multiple motorcycle jeans.
- steptoe 0 people found this helpfulbotex may well be the originators of the armoured underwear genre (ignoring the ancient cricket box), but not the refiners. that title goes to pando moto (more of them imminently in their own review). even though these long johns are bowtex's mk2 iteration, the general style is something befitting albert steptoe, more akin to 1950s war dept surplus than a modern hightech garment. carefully checking the UR size guide and reading the customer reviews, being a 36" waist (actual size, even if I adamantly squeeze into a labeled jeans size of 34") I opted for the XXL. alas waaay too big even with my ex-rugby/ex-rowing thighs, 6' 3" stature and croissants-with-my-coffee tum. and bizarrely very loose at the ankles. is it too much to expect that the manufacturer supplies a drawing with measurements - including hight of knee protector pockets? ignoring the misjudged sizing for a moment, the choice of materials with minimal stretch means when you are sliding down the road on your arse, the long johns are not going to be holding themselves or your protectors securely in place. many punters comments about super high waist on these, that's one feature I did like keeping the back snug. immediately returned to UR before they even ventured out of my living room. extensive further research all pointed to the albeit more expensive pando moto skin, which I've just ordered from UR and seems to be a far more suitable for the job (and far too feline for grumpy albert).
- Absolutely best long johns I've every had 0 people found this helpfulLove the minimal yet well situated slots of padding, love the fit of it on my middle aged pear shaped body, and the elastic bands on both waist and legs are just perfect. Nothing to complain about at all
- Not for date night ! 0 people found this helpfulNot the most flattering of items but the protection they provide seems good.
