Just buy them all on a card and return the ones you don’t like

[@vintagerealityvr]

@@mistahozzy or you know, when they produce this video they can spend an extra 30 seconds on each pair of pants to show the insides instead of making the customer deal with that hassle as well as RevZilla losing money for the time they have to take the returns and restock etc

Thank you for including female rider options!!

[@riderramblings]

Motorcycle Jeans with amour and Kevlar lining used to be under $75 only 5 or 6 years ago. I'm certain that the cost of materials hasn't doubled or tripled since then. Are we motorcyclist being "taken for a ride"?

[@jordanwelty6582]

[@jeffreyarvik5936]

It's awesome that RevZilla has Jen on the team. It's in all motorcyclists' best interest to have maximum interest in the sport throughout the population - male and female. I really enjoy reading her articles, and I'm sure the female audience appreciates having a woman's perspective with respect to women's riding gear.

[@raymondjames57]

Literally never notice this stuff. You must really feel like your protecting people by being hyper sensitive to this. Cool thing is, now you have me Not paying attention to motorcycling, and instead viewing this via genitals.... great.....

[@kostasgt500]

I have 2 pairs of the Oakland jeans. Best bang for buck. Very stretchy, good protection, but get ready to sweat... A LOT!

[@sereneturmoil]

The PMJ Deux Jeans HAVE to be top of list for any guy looking for a truly skinny fit with casual looks in a single layer, AAA rated riding jean with included, adjustable armour. At around $270 CDN I bought two pair for less than one pair of two layer Rokkertech. Oh, and every pair comes with a hand made Italian leather belt.

[@Inline3speedy]

RST kevlar pro tech jeans have been my best one. Around 200$. AAA level of abrasion protection. comes with level 2 hip and knee armor. Seems superior to the jeans in the video....

[@wowIloveusernames]

Wow this was great timing for me! Thanks for the info you two.

[@hammerheadcycle3097]

I have the Street and Steel jeans. They're well made and are so comfortable.

[@A_Dirrty_Bird]

Have a pair of the Oaklands will try to pick up another at some point. Also bought some seesmart armor to replace the bulkier pads they came with for this season. I usually used them without armor previously

[@Sabahes_ASMR]

So my only question is, can I wear these to work, then complete a full work shift of manual labor in them? Or am I going to regret wearing riding jeans to work?

[@King0fgames_]

My scorpion exo ones have been my daily jeans for months, they've been great. The knee pad armor with them make kneeling muxh more comfortable.

[@King0fgames_]

@@DefZen343 The ones I have are a kevlar weave for the entire pant, it's not just a liner. And if they're fine against a razor blade slicing them, they should do fine against sheet metal

[@numidian5191]

I returned the Street & Steel Oakland Jeans because there was no way to add hip armor. What's the point if you can't add hip armor, the place where you are going to slide on, and a broken hip is the worse.

[@Kaisolostudio]

6:29 is a good example of the issues I’ve been having with riding jeans, look at where the knee armor is on the model, it’s on his shins! Manufacturers don’t make them adjustable enough, a fatal flaw… 😒

[@sereneturmoil]

I agree with you that there needs to be better adjustability built into the armour of riding gear. However, to see the knee armour below the knee while the wearer is standing is fine because when the legs are bent into the riding position the armour will likely be right where it's needed; at least that's my experience with every pair of riding pants I've owned and worn. But finding the sweet spot for that to happen can certainly be a tedious task when repeatedly taking the pants off and putting them on again to check the armour position.

[@movingforward6099]

We need some choices for Dad jeans, why is everything slim?

[@luisoutumuro424]

[@MCarmer21]

Prefer icon field armor under some decent jeans. Not as protective but super comfortable.

[@urbanstrencan]

Great picks but you missed the best ones by Trilobite® motorcycle from Czech, their Parado jeans are just awesome.

[@drjones694]

I did a review on 2 pairs of these types of jeans and some advice give you all are a bigger outlet Show the inside of the jeans to show they protect front back hip to knee FYI to buyers Price does NOT determine more material protection my most expensive pair purchased did not have nearly as much protection as a pair $50-100 cheaper

[@RevZilla]

We do show the insides of the jeans in the detailed breakdown videos of these products on their own. This is just an overview of awesome options in each category. If you are interested in further information, feel free to check out those videos. Ride safe

[@drjones694]

@@RevZilla perfect thanks for explaining that

[@steveaga4683]

Great review, but be aware that the "keep it on 2" fingers at the end of the video is the equivalent of the middle finger in the UK.

[@ZildjianMan30]

Also, check out Saint line of pants. They specialize in full Dyneema-made riding pants. Usually around the same price as the Pando brand - $300 to $400. But, Dyneema is a pretty special thread!

[@Hansengineering]

Dyneema is just branded UHMWPE.

[@ZildjianMan30]

@Eric Hansen I don't care. I call it Dyneema. Does anyone say, "hand me the petroleum jelly, please." Nope.

[@Hansengineering]

@@ZildjianMan30 right. The product they're talking about HAS dyneema in it. Also it isn't possible to make fabric out of JUST dyneema, as it is so slippery the seams would fray in days of use.

[@muratismailzeren]

I have 5 riderdenim jeans made in turkiye..Sastec knee hip protection and covered Aramid hakanit .Price is 90 $.Why I pay more money for others?

[@non-wx8qm]

Where did Brandon get the shirt. That's the only shirt he wears.

[@JasKro]

As someone who has to wear a belt with my jeans I can’t express my disappointment enough in the lack of critical belt loops in the back of the jeans. Please, Please Please (manufacturer’s) add 2 more belt loops to keep my waist band from slipping below my belt. That’s the deciding factor for me and I won’t be buying any of these jeans. It seems that Carhartt is one of the few companies that gets this so that’s what I ride in!!!

[@jj.1412]

i'd just take them to a tailor/seamstress...

[@kotu1111]

like JJ said....for 20-30 bucks more ANY good tailor can add belt loops

[@pandabike3826]

@RevZilla What pants would be best protection for electric unicycle riding? Cruising speed is 40-45mph. Mainly looking for hip and rear slide protection

[@Spanishfutbol2010]

How’s the slide protector on these?

[@mayorofnow]

Disappointed there's no cargo category. The Uglybros Motorpool-K was a great pant, but they've never been long lasting, and durability has only gotten worse in recent batches.

[@smackbikeNZ]

Seems strange you dont carry Resurgence jeans. Have 11 second slide protection with Pekev.

[@luisoutumuro424]

Can RevZilla recommend brands and places that offer big & tall pants and gear?

[@RevZilla]

You can filter by size and tall option in our search bar on the website. There are plenty of brands offering larger "American" fits (aka relaxed fits) and tall options for both jacket and pants. If you need more help finding options, feel free to reach out to our Customer Service teams.

[@Topher7527]

The Pandas seem nice but I'm not sure about that sizing. My regular jeans are 30x30 and my riding stuff is 30x32 to maintain coverage while on the bike. The Pandas coming in at 30x34 (literally all sizes are length 34) I think would just be too long. I don't mind hemming but I feel like the armor would sit too low to be useful.

[@impoppa9647]

Im pretty much the same size as you and have a pair of Pando Moto Jeans. I love them and the adjustable knee pockets help to have the knee armor sit perfect.

[@sabref4i290]

Lol try not being g a size 30 so hard to find pants for bigger riders

[@dantae666]

ce level one is crap. any recommendations for level 2 armour

[@bombaya85]

What about "plus/curvy" size for us fat bikers? Talking about 60+ inches waist

[@sabref4i290]

Right! Bigger riders always get left out!

[@1zanglang]

Trilobite parado seem, to me, better than everything they showed in this video. It has adjustable position for kneepads, stretch zones, kevlar lining, zippered vents and it is available in several colors.

[@chadillac171]

I’ve been wearing lucky jeans this whole time. So far, still lucky. Although I wish I could get some real riding jeans, I cannot fathom the armor built inside. Feels too awkward in the knees when walking. Is there a jean that has the tough material without the knee padding maybe?

[@kingdomcome1617]

Most of the knee pads in the jeans that I have seen are removable for washing.

[@piersdenney]

Get the D3O Ghost Armor - you wont know its there, and yes, if you come off the bike it'll save your ass.

[@ZildjianMan30]

You gotta remember that no riding pants will protect you from the IMPACTS - the banging and bruising. That's why the impact armor is there. These protective jeans are for ABRASION resistance.

[@Hansengineering]

Here's the thing; fabrics, ALL fabrics, only BARELY help at keeping your skin intact. Regular denim + kevlar lasts about 2 seconds of sliding. You NEED that armor in strategic places to minimize injury in any moderate to high speed crash. The other way to go is leather chaps which will protect covered areas in a slide, but still offer no impact protection.

[@ZildjianMan30]

@Eric Hansen Dyneema will last for several seconds in a slide, and still be wearable. Racing leathers will be the best option.

[@Zerbii]

Draggin jeans best jeans.

[@edfrench6095]

I’m old and have to use knee braces a lot of times, don’t see theses fitting over them

[@Andrew_LaRice]

I had an ACL repair that required an orthopedic brace for a season of riding and had good luck wearing mine under the Street and Steel Oakland pants. They have a slight bit of stretch that makes it work. Highly recommend them from a comfort/style front, though I luckily haven't yet had a chance to test their protection.

[@mayorofnow]

Glad to see men's and women's selections, but would be a better video if you did all of one gender, and then the other. Half of these are never gonna fit me, so it would be nice if I could skip them altogether.

[@8111blacky]

Anyone know what them boots are the male is wearing?

[@craigbannister7826]

U should group them by protection. By what ones are garbage with no protection and ones that have protection

[@RevZilla]

This is the "best" that we've seen this year when it comes to riding jeans. So the ones w/o protection don't make the list in the first place. Thanks for watching though!

Pando Moto and UglyBros are my 2 go to’s, best for urban riding/Look and they are comfortable… price is a little high but “you get what you pay for” and that’s quality but the ugly bros do rip in the crotch area for some people but you get a warranty on them and they will repair them for free.99 lol

Unfortunately they haven't really healed fully since that whole global pandemic thing. Luckily, you can sign up to be notified when any out of stock item returns into inventory on our product pages. So our guide will help you decide which piece of gear is the most protective, and help your shopping experience along. Basing a Guide off of what is in stock is not how we do things around here. The gear will be in stock eventually and hopefully this gear helps that decision along. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I can’t even put my BMW fob with house keys attached to it in my front pockets when riding with jeans. Everything has to go in the jacket pockets. That’s why cargo style riding pants with various leg pockets rule the day, especially for touring. So again again I say to you; jeans are very impractical as you can’t really use the pockets.
