Motorbike enthusiasts have been using protective Kevlar jeans
for a long time. With time, their preferences have evolved in terms of fashion,
style and comfort with greater emphasis on safety provided by protective
Kevlar jeans. Every motorcycle
rider who wants to look and feel good on their bikes, along with maintaining
the everyday functionality of their clothes would choose to wear motorcycle jeans reinforced with protective
material, preferably Kevlar. They’re the best of both worlds; comfortable and
sturdy in a crash. But beware: not all motorcycle jeans are the same. Here are
a few reasons why some motorcycle Kevlar jeans fail to protect your skin in a
crash and what you can do about it:
Motorbike riding
jeans reinforced with Kevlar are sturdy and tough as compared to other trousers
made with synthetic materials. These materials include Cordura, Dyneema etc.
Compared to these Kevlar offers equal protection. It is lightweight yet substantial
owing to the technique through which it is spun and the resulting high tensile
strength. These motorcycle Kevlar jeans
will protect you from injuries.
When you go sliding down the tarmac, friction is created
between your body and the road. Protective apparel takes most of the heat in
such a case. The quality of the outer fabric of your jeans as well as the
protective material used comes into play here. Most popular brands use DuPont Kevlar,
Invista Cordura or other generic aramid fibers, so at face value you wouldn’t
have any complaints as far as the quality of protective material is good. But
remember that even a good name can cover up a product of weak quality. Kevlar,
for example, comes in a number of densities- from 230 GSM to 340 GSM. A low
quality Kevlar lining will give you little protection from a nasty road rash.
So delve deeper to inquire about the specifications of the protective fabric
used in your jeans before purchase. To take a look at good quality Kevlar
jeans, visit EVOQE’s official website; we use 100% original DuPont Kevlar of
270 to 320 GSM ensuring maximum abrasion resistance.
Why Should You Use
Kevlar Jeans?
We’ll talk about two things here: the use of Jeans instead
of say, leather or textile and the use of Kevlar in jeans instead of any other
synthetic material.
First it is important to note that while leather and textile
are both good abrasion resistant materials, they have their disadvantages. They
are not as mobile as jeans; most bikers would not prefer going out for a drink
with friends or attending a party in a thick pair of leather or textile
trousers. Changing In and out of such pants as suits the rider is also a hectic
task and not many would want to waste so much time on it. Jeans on the other
hand can be worn anywhere and look stylish. With motorcycle jeans being tweaked
and perfected in design every day, they look just like regular day jeans!
Secondly, leather and textile are stuffy on a hot summer
afternoon or really, any warm weather. They’re uncomfortable to move around in
and are much likely to take the rider’s mind off of the road. Jeans, on the
other hand, are much lighter and breathable which is why we would suggest that
you wear jeans over leather any day.
In terms of protective synthetic fibers, Kevlar is one of
the best options out there. It has great abrasion resistant abilities coupled
with a comfortable feel. When used in higher density and undiluted form, Kevlar
is best for a fast ride on the road. Most protective motorcycle brands would
provide you with low price jeans using generic aramid fibers. These are either
mixed with natural fibers or are used in low, cheap densities putting your skin
at risk. Kevlar is registered fabric of DuPont and EVOQE uses 100% original
Kevlar in its motorcycle
protective jeans.
Your Jeans are as
Good as their Stitching
Another crucial part of your motorcycle jeans is the
stitching. A good pair of jeans means little if the stitch doesn’t hold and
falls apart in a crash. Seams, the junction where two pieces of fabric are sewn
together, should be strong enough to take the weight of the rider and the
intensity of the impact on crash. Most
companies would trade this for a stylish look. The outside seam, for example,
would be made weaker just so the stitching doesn’t show. Make sure that the
jeans you’re planning to purchase have been tested for such particularities;
after all, it can mean the difference between safety and injury. However, this
does not mean that your jeans must show more thread than fabric (to put it
hyperbolically) – don’t compromise on style. EVOQE Motorbike
Kevlar jeans are sturdy, using the Intelligent Stitching Technique to
prioritize safety. While a number of our
jeans have double stitching on the outside, a greater number still are
reinforced with stitching from the inside making sure that’s their no apparent
stitching on the outside seam. The jeans are strong yet stylish.
Is your Armour
battle-worthy?
Most importantly, your motorcycle jeans need some added
protection which comes in the form of body armour. Some companies do not offer
armour along with their jeans while some offer that which is not tested
according to proper standards making it unreliable. EVOQE armour, which is
included as free, is CE level 2 certified. We use Forcefield Isolator CE2
Upgrade Armour in most of our jeans which fulfill the CE EN 1621-1:2012 test
requirements. Thus, it offers the ultimate protection against tough road
conditions. To learn more about EVOQE jeans, visit our official website at https://www.evoqe.co.uk/
