Summer Motorcycle Trousers

Motorcycle trousers without a membrane are so much easier and more comfortable to wear than waterproof trousers in hot weather.  They can be mesh or vented to allow better airflow. There is, of course, one problem with this form of attire on the bike. Basically, if it rains you are going to get wet.

The solution, of course, is to carry with you something like a pair of Scott waterproofs. Now for some people this is an unimaginable inconvenience; a step too far. And indeed if you commute all year round, and like to tour in Wales, Scotland or Ireland then equipping yourself in this way may just not be for you.

But for most casual, weekend riders, rain is an unfortunate inconvenience, not a regular occurrence. For these riders, either a breathable riding trouser or a pair of motorcycle jeans might be the answer. 

If you are travelling on the continent or to hotter climes or working hard off-road then a vented, breathable motorcycle pant is what you need. We offer a selection of Klim motorcycle pants and now, new for 2025, a great Rukka pant option. Some of the southern European brands like Spidi also offer great options.

Verified customer reviews for Summer Motorcycle Trousers

Rokker Legend Straight jeans in blue

Markymark: The best riding jeans

Great jeans, my 2nd pair as I outgrew my originals. Also have a pair of Rokker Revolutions for colder months. Great fit, straight leg, probably the nice jeans I own. Just wish they did an inbetween size as my 36 are a bit roomy but the 34 are too snug for comfort

Klim Switchback cargo pant in teak

Scot: Great trousers that might actually justify the price

Never thought Id spend £300 on a pair of bike jeans well cargo trousers, but Ive been looking for a pair of brown bike trousers for a while now since I went a bit OTT on green jackets and green trousers just doesnt really go. These somehow do it all, the vents down the side work incredibly well, Im usually too hot and bothered to ride in anything over 27 degrees here in the UK, but these really help with my mesh jacket, a lot better than all my other bike jeans. And actually cooler than riding in normal jeans which is what I generally do when its too hot for bike jeans yes I know its bad. The pockets are also great and actually usable, I never keep anything in my pockets in case something falls out but the zip leg pocket on the right is nice and secure so keep phone and keys and stuff in there. Theres also a handy small elastic key type pocket which I use for keeping my car key in my pocket my bike cover and locks go in the boot, my only storage but its useful for me, rather than holding all my keys and phone in my hands or something. Fitting is great, I tend to go for 36 recently to get thigh and groin space, even though tis baggy around the waist,then wear a belt to compensate. Not with these, 34 waist is perfect, not too baggy in general like 36 was and fits great. I also went for the long leg which I think is something like 34 or 36, great length for me being 63. I always suffer which trousers riding up on the bike and sitting on top of my riding shoes exposing my socks because of my height, so these long legs are perfect.

Rukka Air Vihti pants in black

Richard: Defence and Comfort

When choosing bike gear, and particularly summer touring gear, it is sometimes easy to get carried away with having the most comfortable and cool clothing on the market, at the same overlooking the main reason for wearing it! On a bike, comfort is important, but Id argue that safety is even more vital, so finding a trade-off is the name of the game. These trousers, with proper armour the type that does not end up on the inside of your knees, doing nothing at all are a great trade-off. They are comfortable, practical and certainly feel robust and safe. In my so far limited test, they also have good airflow, and being Rukka, a good warranty. Sadly, they are also expensive, but you cant win them all!
