It goes without saying that you will have to spend a lot of money on the purchase of high-quality overalls, since safety will depend on this.

That is why motorcycle jeans appeared in riding equipment, which became a compromise solution that allows you not to change clothes after moving from home to the workplace, for example.

What is the difference between regular and motorcycle jeans

For beginners, the question often arises, what is the difference between regular jeans and motorcycle jeans. This is initially worth studying fundamentally, information will be needed both for choosing and buying workwear, and for understanding the danger that may arise along the way.

1. Thicker denim. A significant difference can be seen with the naked eye: high-quality denim or regular 100% cotton. Of course, natural cotton fabrics are hardy, but not so much as to become protection during a fall at speed, and even more so when sliding along the road. The density and quality factor used in sewing denim is in itself a barrier to injury.
2. Cut. Outfit jeans can be varied, but the most reliable ones are dominated by a narrower silhouette in order for the protection to fit snugly to the body.
3. Use of special inserts in potentially vulnerable places. These places will be the knees, the sides of the thighs. At the same time, the quality of the inserts may also differ: some manufacturers use dense 100% cotton (cotton) in several layers, while others use a special Kevlar fabric.

Kevlar is a para-aramid fiber fabric manufactured by DuPont. This fabric has high strength, bulletproof vests, helmets are made from it, tires for cars were reinforced with it, all super strong cables are made of Kevlar. Many abilities are attributed to this fabric, up to the ability to delay bullets.

4. Reinforcement of all seams when sewing. Such reinforcement is possible with the help of special threads for stitching around the entire perimeter of the product. This creates additional strength during friction and tension of the fabric while riding or when falling.
5. From the inside, special niches-patches are provided for the installation of mechanical protective equipment.
6. High and padded waist (fit) and hips that also provide back support.
7. During cutting and tailoring, special ventilation "hatches" - gaps are provided, the main task of which is to eliminate the greenhouse effect between the product and the body.
8. Motorcycle jeans, unlike household models, have such characteristics as frost resistance, heat resistance, as well as enhanced resistance to abrasion.

Criteria for choosing biker jeans

Based on the above, it is easy to summarize the criteria by which you should choose motorcycle jeans:

• Complete set (presence of additional mechanical protective equipment);
• What are the jeans made of and what is the quality of the seams;
• Are there protective, better Kevlar, inserts in vulnerable places;
