  • Does anyone have experience of Hood motorcycle jeans .
    Seem like a good company, they sent me a swatch of the denim and abrasion resistance fabric . slim fit jeans with ghost armour look good

  • Hood motorcycle jeans

    Yes.

    Fit wise my pair wear along the lines of something you'd get from Super U. I think they'd look better if I wore them more.

    Build quality is excellent. As in the actual jeans construction.

    My fundamental issue is that a floating kevlar liner is hot as balls - so you can't wear them indoors if it's warm. But in winter you'll still need to layer up under and over as they're not insulated or wind proof. So IME there is a quite a small window of opportunity to wear them. Also in terms of armour, mine is more of a pain to fit than in my leathers. And you can see that you'd get amour fades.

    No experience of them, but my understanding is that there are some pretty smart new fabrics where they basically take kevlar style threads and wrap them in cotton which gives you something with the same strength but feels like a normal pair of jeans.

  • Yup , I did a bit of Googling , single layer seems the way to go because of the too hot scenario.
    Bul-it are on sale at Sportsbikeshop and I’ve ordered a few pairs to try on .
    They recommend trying a size smaller , so I’m goi g with 32 , I reckon im a 33.
    Seem good value in the sale .
    Thanks for the heads up
