TOP 5 Motorcycle Jeans for 2021

[@621Kiel]

Thank you for the review. However I am well impressed with my Rokker Slim Tapered jean. It also has the thin 3DO Ghost protectors, and it looks like a normal jean when you wear it on and off the bike. I also like that there are no metal studs or rivets exposed that could scratch that paint job. I ride in warm to hot climate (West Africa) and the Rokkers also make a huge improvement compared with a normal jean when it comes to breathability. Can’t recommend them enough. Ride safe!

Thanks for sharing!

[@uchujinfilms8173]

No Bullit either? Single layer, CE2 armour as standard in most pairs, super comfortable and even for the AAA rated versions less by quite a bit than the cheapest ones on this list. Love mine.

[@BrianJohnson-bs9cw]

If you just trundle around town single layer may be ok. But if you do more serious miles double layer is better,however Hood jean have better size options and can be ordered in any leg length free because not everyone is average size worth a look

[@nickthequick]

Nice presentation. Now, I know you are "urban" rider, presumably as opposed to "touring" rider, but for those of us that sometimes wear larger touring boots, it would be good to know if the legs of these pants are wide enough that you can pull them over the boot (a Daytona for example), as I can with my Rokker Straightfit jeans.

[@Bobby-wn5yr]

I got on the single layer hype train… then I saw the Bennetts testing and was like nah’

[@stevesteve1965]

I have found the most important aspect of jeasns purchase is the location on the knee armour once you're sitting on the bike, I've found that a pair I bought a while ago that with the knee bent the armour was just below the knee. I bought 2 pairs of Pando Moto since and they are perfect.

[@redboll]

Even more important (?): the location of the knee armour once you're thrown off the bike.

[@bobobobit]

To their credit, the Resurgence Warrior Lite have adjustable knee armour. It took me a moment to figure out but it's great design. I expect other jeans in their line-up have the same feature.

[@UrbanRiderlondon]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MaximumProductions70]

I have a nightmare trying to find riding jeans where the knee armour is actually over the knee and not on my shins.

[@stevesteve1965]

@@MaximumProductions70, unfortunately it's trial and error, fit, cut, length, colour, price.. If you can visit Urban Rider at least you can see/try on many different makes/styles.. I found once you find a brand that tick all the boxes stay with them.

[@cmdrratzass7305]

AAA-rated mono layer riding jeans. It’s a great time to be alive.

[@DAVJULART]

Water resistant as well so perfect for that high speed motorway blast to the mountains. I couldn’t resist just bought a pair from UrbanRider together with AAA rated shirt to go under the soft shell jacket on those hot days in the saddle.

[@axelfiraxa]

The big downside is that when you do hit the road it will still grab some skin off of you more than a two layer because there is no inner sleeve to prevent that initial shock from glancing off

[@AlecMoss]

AAA-rated is far, far too low a standard.

[@JulioVillavicencio-ru2sn]

Thank you. Great reviews.

[@UrbanRiderlondon]

Thank you!

[@scootjockey]

This being a free service on YT with 1700 klicks why don,t some of you dudes tick the like box just saying ! support your locals.No Rokker jean suprised me ok they are a little expensive but i have been rideing them for years hard wearing, at least the new generation the older ones with the double lining the uper jean material gets a few wear holes in them but this is over 5 years of use non stop..

[@1990-t1j]

Resurgence New Wave: 11-second slide time, single layer but pricey. I have a pair.

[@geoffbroderick403]

more rubbish skinny leg jean you mist the best .bull it jeans they come in 3 leg widths no brainer!

[@1990-t1j]

@@geoffbroderick403 The New Wave are regular fit. I hate skinny jeans.

[@firatsanliturk]

Dang. I've never heard of these brands let alone find them in stores in my country. Rev'it and Dainese are the best that we can get :/

[@nockianlifter661]

I bought some AAA rated Oxford jeans for less the £100. Seem like a bargain compared to these brands. Fit over touring boots nicely, plenty of stretch, have decent armour, comfortable on and off the bike, look fine, even have a hydrophilic coating to shed water.

[@zedddddful]

Probably some elitism going on tbh I've bought bull-it jeans that perform the same job for a fraction of the cost of these "boutique" brand's.

[@mbrunskill]

The Oxford were recalled as they are actually only AA rated

[@williamcoulter5462]

@@mbrunskill not recalled from buyers but from stores as wrong labels fitted, I have a few pairs two are the AAA and are exactly the same stuff as the AA and I would never wear jeans on a race track which is AAA rating AA being touring.

[@xfreeman86]

What are those boots? Are they motorcycle boots (abrasion resistance, armor, etc)?

[@vilmos_csehi]

Honestly, Im just curious: Why roll up that high? Does that add any function to it?

[@STho205]

To show the hipster boots silly.

[@SlickMotoMike]

[@bfranco1519]

To show everyone you copy other people’s style, but have none of your own…

[@tkurban]

if you have to pick one for the rest of your riding career which one would you pick?

[@MaximumProductions70]

This would have been useful if you'd also covered fitting for guys who have bigger legs/aren't tall and slim. Most of the time my biggest issue with buying riding jeans is trying to pull them past my knees unless I go for an enormous size that swamps my waist. And if I do that the knee armour is down by my shins 👎 Sadly I don't think riding jeans are designed for people who work out

[@mbrunskill]

Try Hood K7

[@MaximumProductions70]

@@mbrunskill I have heard good things about that make. I will have to have a look when getting my next pair.

[@mbrunskill]

@@MaximumProductions70 their double layer but that means amazing protection, I've never been overly hot in mine either

[@philclose7063]

I'm a little confused. In simple terms, does a layered protective jean provide better or worse protection than a single layer protective jean? Thanks.

[@UrbanRiderlondon]

Hi Phil, a single layer jean can get the same rating as a double layer one. They are both great. - Iza

[@tainted1581]

What about the Saint Unbreakable Slim jeans? Had mine for about 2 years, great pair. Can’t remember the A rating though…

[@guyver1215]

[@TylerPoppe]

[@naniwarzu]

[@stevenbrant2311]

Late reply but may be useful if you see it. The boots look great but have 2 problems. 1. The sole is a dirt cheap oem product that you’ll find on many cheaper boots. It looks good but is actually a very thin black rubber layer glued onto the thick plastic base of the boot. The base has moulded lines in the side to look like layers of the sole, but they’re not. You can pause the video as the rider dismounts and see the light brown plastic showing through already. Always look for a rubber sole that will last as long as the leather upper. 2. Laces only, no side zip (that I could see). Drives you mad.

[@jjnewman65]

Who makes the bike shed non armour jean please and are they single layer?

[@malidawgz5690]

Doesn't anybody wear motorcycle riding boots anymore? Seems like all the models are wearing regular work boots? These narrow legged pants will fit over a standard riding boot?

[@UrbanRiderlondon]

[@chrisnightingale6417]

No Rokkers?

[@DeathByCactus]

They aren't even worth mentioning. They make a fantastic jean with the worlds most worthless pockets. I don't understand idiots who design jeans with tiny pockets. They couldn't even be bothered to take a sample of the average phone size over the past 5 years and make sure it fits comfortably. My rokkers just sit in a closet.

Hi UR! What are the slim fit blue jeans at 11.02? Thanks.

[@arthurpretorius4280]

“Slide time” is not an official safety rating.

[@pamvarnsverry2444]

Indeed - but you knew what he was describing - so the communication was adequate.

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

No hood jeans? They used to be the daddy, years ago

[@andyduffield8208]

I think that's because Hood are not making single layer, Motolegend absolute spank them for that.

[@Nick_R_]

Because Urban Rider don't sell them?

[@leewatkeys9065]

Pretty sure they sell direct and no retailers. Have had two pairs for years and you can ride well into the autumn before needing a warmer legging underneath as they are double layered and thick, sometimes a bit warm and bulky on hot days

[@RFspyder007]

I’m currently in the market to replace my current jeans so wondered if you’re thinking of an updated video or if anyone could recommend any newer pairs to the market

[@UrbanRiderlondon]

Hi! We still recommend the John Doe Mono later jeans as they work and fit really well. There is also a new upgraded versions of the Richmond jeans mentioned in the video! - Iza

[@Omar-kw5ui]

I like more of regular thigh area and a tapered leg. I also like the jean to sit on the waist. I was looking at the John Doe range, would you recommend the Taylor or Pioneer? Or should I just buy both and try them on. Thanks.

Hi Omar. It sounds like the Taylor might be a better fit but if you prefer you are most welcome to order both, compare them and return if needed! Hope this helps - Iza

The lack of concertina in the knee is the real problem with all these. They are designed for style at the coffee bar, not for comfort on a ride.
