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 Frankly, such people are out of date, and don't understand modern motorcycle wear.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.

Fuel Sergeant 2 pants in colonial white

Rik: Cooler than my Rokkers

So, now, what drives you to buy outrageous and outrageously expensive white bike pants that even The Chap in the Cap suggests are impractical...Well, you dont need a reason, youre just reacting to some mad impulse. And I kinda love these. Point 1. They are NOT white. They are a very light taupe - still a classic chino colour, certainly nowhere near as dark as tan, possibly nearer the cool grey shade in Klim. Point 2- I hate the armour, tho good quality swapped for my favourites. Point 3 - a stupid velcro closure for the handy external knee armour pockets does not line up cleanly, so you get a lip, which is ok if youre going for the Mad Max look but annoys me still, its much more useful than internal knee pockets Point 3 - great fit, flattering, comfortable on and off the bike, am 3232 in LevisUniqlo, and they were spot on. I didnt find them short on the bike, either. Point 4 - maybe only me, but on my sports bike, the suede thigh patch bends naturally in the knee crease and presents a fairly hard edge that snags on the tankframe and thats unnerving when youre putting your foot down, but this doesnt happen on an adventure bike... Overall, I love them even more than my Rokker Tweeds tho less acceptable in some business environments. They are at a very significant premium in price to Oxfords latest chino - but you do rather feel like youre the business when you turn up in these. And if you worry about what other people think, buy the other colours instead.

Ive been thinking about buying these stripper pants for a ling time and Im glad I did because they are perfect for commuting and short trips. Good quality and very easy to put on. Not used them in the rain yet. As always, the service from the team at Motolegends was superb. Both in the shop and over the phone. Motolegends service is truly legendary!

Klim Switchback cargo pant in teak

Michael: All Day Comfort, Clever Design!

My favourite riding trousers, comfortable all day and cover a wider range of temperature than regular riding jeans. But the real genius of these trousers is putting the cargo pockets at the front where theyre easily accessible, why has no one else thought of this!
