FAQs
Are these jeans waterproof?
No, these RST Ladies Denim Jeans are not waterproof. They are designed as a textile riding garment with abrasion resistance and impact protection, suitable for fair weather conditions.
What is the difference between Aramid Fibre and Kevlar®?
Aramid fibre is a class of synthetic fibers, and Kevlar® is a specific brand of aramid fiber known for its strength and heat resistance, commonly used in protective gear.
Can I wear these jeans without knee and hip protectors?
Yes, you can wear them without protectors, but this will significantly reduce their protective capabilities in case of an accident. The protectors are essential for their function as motorcycle riding gear.
How do I know if the CE Level 1 protectors are sufficient?
CE Level 1 protectors offer a baseline level of protection against impact. For higher levels of protection, CE Level 2 protectors are available and may be compatible if the pockets are suitably sized.
What is the 'Urban / Classic Fit'?
This fit is designed to mimic the appearance and comfort of casual jeans while incorporating motorcycle safety features. It offers a more relaxed silhouette compared to sport-focused riding gear.
Are these jeans suitable for long-distance touring?
While comfortable for shorter to medium rides, for very long-distance touring, riders may prefer dedicated touring pants with more advanced ventilation, waterproofing, and adjustability features. However, they can be a good option for touring in good weather.
How do I check if hip protectors will fit?
The jeans have designated pockets for hip protectors. It is recommended to use RST-specific hip protectors for guaranteed fit, or check the dimensions of the internal hip pockets against the dimensions of aftermarket protectors you may wish to use.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel uncomfortable or are in the wrong position.
Remove the protectors and reposition them within the internal pockets. Ensure they are centered and at the correct height for your knee. Some models may have adjustable straps or height adjustment systems.
Jeans feel tight or restrictive during riding.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch denim offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is crucial. Check the size guide provided by RST. If hip protectors are installed, they may add a slight snugness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Sometimes a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dedicated zipper lubricant can help. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.
