Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these jeans waterproof?
No, these jeans are not waterproof. They are designed for abrasion resistance and impact protection, and are best suited for dry weather conditions. Waterproof over-trousers may be needed in wet weather.
What size hip protectors are compatible?
These jeans are prepared for standard CE-rated hip protectors. Specific dimensions may vary by manufacturer, but typically Level 1 hip protectors are designed to fit.
Can I remove the knee protectors?
Yes, the knee protectors are removable. This allows for easier washing of the jeans and provides the option to replace them with different types or sizes of protectors if needed.
How often should I wash these jeans?
It's best to wash them only when necessary to preserve the integrity of the Kevlar lining and denim. Follow the specific care instructions provided, focusing on gentle washing and air drying.
What does CE Certification 'A' mean?
CE Certification 'A' indicates a basic level of abrasion resistance and protection suitable for general motorcycle use. It signifies that the garment has met specific safety standards.
What is the difference between these and regular jeans?
The primary difference is the integrated DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber reinforcement in key impact areas, which significantly enhances abrasion resistance compared to standard denim. They also include provisions for CE-rated armor.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors shifting during ride
Utilize the continuously adjustable protector system to secure the protectors firmly in place. Ensure the internal pockets are correctly aligned with your knee.
Jeans feel stiff or uncomfortable
The denim and Kevlar lining may require a break-in period. Wear the jeans for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider gentle washing (as per care instructions) to help soften the material.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small application of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Protective lining feels bulky
This is normal for protective motorcycle apparel. The Kevlar lining is strategically placed for safety. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit, as an improper size can exaggerate bulkiness.

Care:
- Washing: It is recommended to wash these jeans on a gentle cycle using cold water. Always zip up zippers and fasten buttons before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the protective fibers.
