Leather Motorcycle Trousers
Some experienced bikers swear by the benefits of leather trousers, but textile motorcycle trousers have come a long way in the last 30 years, and so leather is not always the best option. Motorbike riding jeans have also developed hugely in the last 30 years whereas leather is still the same product it always was. Leather is abrasion resistant and leather trousers can look great, but leather absorbs the rain like a sponge, and it has little by the way of thermal qualities. It is true that racers wear leather, but they don’t spend hours in the saddle, so don’t tend to get miserably cold and wet. The road rider, by contrast, can get very cold and wet on a long journey, and a pair of leather pants can make one feel even less comfortable. Racers, by the way, wear leather not just for its protective qualities but also for its tendency not to create wind resistance and turbulence. A pair of textile trousers will offer comparable levels of protection to leather and considerably enhanced levels of comfort.
So, for many riders leather is not necessarily the best option. But, a leather pant can still be very stylish and very protective and if you ride an older retro style bike, it may just be the right tool for the job!

Pando Moto Katana leather jeans in black
These are the most comfortable and best fitting pair of motorcycle pants Ive ever owned. Both on and off the bike. Im impressed with the quality of the leather. It is soft and doesnt feel or look cheap like many leather pants Ive seen. The polyester lining makes them easy to get on and off. The zippers are heavy duty -- not the tiny sized zippers that fail or break easily. They are stylish and dont obviously look like motorcycle pants, like leather sport bike pants do. Ive been wearing them daily for a few months now. Theyre nicely broken in and fit even better than they did the day I got them. Im 58, 175lbs with a 31 waist. The 30W32L was the right size for me.
Halvarssons Rinn leather pants in black
My 1st leather suit got the Jacket too. Wore it at the weekend and found it really comfy and better than textile. Tricky to get the right size. I ordered 2 sizes and wrestled with the fact that leather gives a little vs going a size up. Going to the shop probably would have been better. Kit turned up in a very battered box and I had a hassle returning it as it was confusing around return labels. A return label was in the box but having taken it to the DHL drop Off it was not the correct label. After a phone call I then got the necessary label and got the unwanted kit sent back. Lots of tape needed on the box to secure the contents! Stronger boxes needed for such heavy garments. Love the product. Really comfy. Sat on the bike to make sure pads sat in the correct place. Leg length good. Im 6ft 2 with a 32 inch leg.
Belstaff Long Way Up McGregor leather trousers
I wanted a pair of leather trousers that werent pre-curved or track-focused and when these were reduced in price I thought I would try them. I am a 34-waist but I had to return and go for a 36. The waist fitted fine on the 34 but because the trouser is designed on the skinny side, the leg and thigh were too tight so consider this when buying. The pocket for the knee armour was also poorly installed but with some velcro and a bit of a rejig, I think this is sorted now. Perfect pants for a day on the bike, but if youre going to long way anywhere, I would say look around and research a little, there are probably better alternatives, but if they are reduced and on sale - try them
