Textile Motorcycle Trousers

Some motorcyclists have a near religious commitment to leather as the only material that is appropriate for a motorcycle trouser. Frankly, such people are out of date, and don't understand modern motorcycle wear. Leather may look good, and it has certain anti-abrasion qualities. But leather motorbike trousers are invariably worn close to the skin, and so are not warm to wear. Leather also absorbs water, and so is useless when it rains. A modern textile trouser with armour and a good quality anti-abrasion backing material will be every bit as protective as a leather trouser if you come off the bike. But a textile trouser with a waterproof membrane will be much more waterproof. And as most textile trousers have a thermal liner of some description, they’ll keep you much warmer too. In the summer, you will want air vents to allow fresh air to flow through to the skin, and almost no leather trousers offer this facility. So, if your main concern is how small your bum looks, or if you want to pretend you’re a Moto GP racer, go for leather.  But for most riders on most bikes, in most riding conditions, a textile motorcycle trouser will make much more sense.

Stadler 4All Pro trousers in grey

Simon: Great trousers

Very comfortable on and off the bike once broken in with a few miles of use. A recent wet and cold tour to Scotland proved them to be absolutely waterproof. The lack of wetting out is lovely, I dont miss having to put on my old drop liner trousers that would still be wetted out from the previous days riding. Some layering is required when the temperature drops, especially if youre ambitious enough to think it might be warm enough in Scotland in June to leave the thermal liner at home. I havent tested the ventilation yet as, for warm weather local riding, I switch to single layer jeans. The quality and construction of the trousers is excellent. The substantial armour and use of Superfabric gives me confidence in the safety of the 4All Pros. I ended up in a completely different size to what Id anticipated. A visit to Guildford for the usual excellent MotoLegends shop service was essential. Being of a robust stature with a particularly short inseam, the extra short leg length was perfect and these are the first off-the-peg trousers to fit me properly. In truth, Stadler is probably overkill for the amount of riding that I do, but I was happy to pay for the quality.

PMJ Spring leggings in black

Bev: Almost perfect

I love these leggings, so comfy to wear due to the stretch and the belt loops can be used to hook up a hip bag one side and my bike key the other side. They would be perfect if they had rear pockets too, to keep tissues etc. I have worn them in hot weather 30 plus in comfort and when I got caught in a downpour they dried out almost as soon as the rain stopped.

Rukka Voyage-R trousers in black

Steve Dallen: The best

Reviewed before but happy to repeat. Excellent construction as youd expect from Rukka and comfy to wear and zip together with the jacket if required. Great price with the Pathfinder jacket from Motolegends, would certainly recommend to anyone riding outside the summer season.
