Never before have motorcyclists had this much choice when picking the clothes that will protect them on the bike. The protective jeans category has exploded over the past few years.

JOHN DOE MONO JEANS

We kick things off with a whole range of styles: the John Doe Mono collection. All Mono jeans are constructed using John Doe’s proprietary XTM-Fiber® and stretch denim twill blend, which makes these trousers as comfy as your Sunday trackies, but will literally save your skin. So much so that all mono trousers have achieved a CE Level AAA safety rating which is as high as it gets!

The Mono range has a trouser to suit any style with regular, slim and skinny fits, cargo trousers, jeans with ribbed stretch panels and more. They cater to both sexes and offer a wide variety of colours. It’s no surprise they have quickly cemented themselves as a firm customer and staff favourite. Be sure to check out the Urban Rider Exclusive Pitch Black colour in the Pioneer!


KNOX RYDAL JEANS

UK powerhouse Knox are masters at creating unassuming, stylish trousers that are loaded with safety features and creature comforts. Their brand new Rydal is a single layer, CE Level AA jean that offers both durability and comfort. With a classic, easy tapered leg and a comfortable fit, the Rydal jean is made with a blend of nylon, denim and elastane to ensure both strength and flexibility.

Featuring the new Knox Micro-Lock Compact low-profile protectors in the knees and hips, which can be easily removed through an invisible zipper on the inside of the knee. The Micro-Lock Compact range is thinner, lighter, and more flexible than Knox’s previous protectors, offering comfort without sacrificing performance.


FUEL MARSHAL TROUSERS

Purveyors of some of the most widely coveted retro-style adventure trousers on the market, Fuel certainly know what they’re doing. The single layer Marshal Trousers sit alongside the ever-popular Sergeant and offer superb levels of comfort and class-leading protection - CE AAA Approved, no less.

The Fuel Marshal trousers are a joy to wear thanks to their side gussets, using accordion stretch panels that not only fit the aesthetic, but enhance the fit around the contours of your body, for supreme comfort whatever your body type.

Included removable CE level 2 armour at the hips and knees comes pre-fitted for high levels of impact protection, helping the Marshal trousers achieve the highest safety rating.


RICHA CARTER JEANS

The Carter jeans are an impressive exercise in combining safety and style by Belgian brand Richa. With a CE Level AA rating for protection, these jeans feature Level 2 CE armour in the knees and hips. The denim outer layer is hard-wearing and abrasion-resistant and is reinforced with Dyneema® and Cordura® yarn panels.

The casual styling of these jeans makes them perfect for everyday use, whether on or off the bike, while providing impressive levels of protection and comfort. Richa has managed to produce a very impressive jean at an equally affordable price.


PANDO MOTO MARK KEV 02 CARGO TROUSERS

It would be criminal not to include a pair of Pando Moto trousers on this list. Their Mark Kev cargo pants use super-stretch Cordura® denim, achieving a stylishly casual look off the bike. Backed with an aramid fibre lining in the abrasion and impact zones, the Mark comes with SAS-TEC TripleFlex CE approved hip and knee armour included in the price. These impressive features secure these jeans with a CE Level AA certification.
