FAQs
Are these jeans waterproof?
No, these RST X Aramid Fibre CE Ladies Denim Jeans are constructed from stretch denim and are not waterproof. They are designed for general riding comfort and protection in dry conditions.
What level of protection do the included knee protectors offer?
The jeans come with CE Level 1 knee protectors, which meet European safety standards for impact protection.
Can I add hip protection to these jeans?
Yes, the jeans feature internal pockets prepared for hip protectors. You will need to purchase compatible hip protectors separately.
How should I care for the Kevlar® lining?
The Kevlar® lining is integrated into the garment. Follow the general care instructions for the jeans, ensuring to remove protectors before washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which could degrade the aramid fibers.
What does 'Urban/Classic Fit' mean?
This fit is inspired by current fashion trends but adapted for motorcycling. It aims to provide a comfortable silhouette that looks good both on and off the bike, offering more room than a race-specific fit.
Are these jeans suitable for very hot weather?
While they feature a mesh lining, denim can be warm in extreme heat. For very hot conditions, consider additional ventilation or lighter, specialized motorcycle apparel.
What is DuPont™ Kevlar®?
DuPont™ Kevlar® is a high-strength synthetic fiber known for its exceptional durability, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance. It is used in these jeans to reinforce key areas against impact and abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel uncomfortable or are in the wrong position.
Utilize the continuously adjustable protector system to slide the knee protectors up or down until they are correctly positioned over your knee caps. Ensure the jeans are worn at the appropriate riding height.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Denim feels stiff after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting for a short period to soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying, which can make denim brittle.
Fit feels too loose or too tight in certain areas.
Check the size guide carefully before purchase. For minor fit adjustments, consider wearing the jeans for extended periods to allow the stretch denim to conform to your body. If the fit is significantly off, consult the retailer about exchange options.
