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 Frankly, such people are out of date, and don't understand modern motorcycle wear.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

Verified customer reviews for Textile Motorcycle Trousers

Richa Stripper trousers in black

Mark: Love these - would buy again!

I wanted some over trousers to wear on cold winter days, and if they were also waterproof then so much the better. I used to wear thermals under my riding jeans but now I just pop these over the top of the jeans, no need for thermals and Im snug as a bug - passive safety up a level. The knee armour is a great size and also profiled, so I remove the knee armour from my jeans, but retain the jeans Ghost hip armour - super comfortable and I feel really well protected. As easy as everyone says to get on and off. I didnt need to go up a size, my normal size fit perfectly over my riding jeans. A heavier garment than I anticipated, but I guess that adds to the protection and warmth and matters not a jot when on the bike. A great product - love them.

Klim Switchback cargo pant in asphalt

Sean: Switchback

Been contemplating buying these pants and finally went for it. I must say they are very comfortable and seem a little thicker than my Rokker Jeans, but maybe its the stitching and pockets. Pants are a little baggy but work well with my MX boots and TCX ankle boots with the adjustable hem. From ordering online to delivery this as always was seamless from Motolegends and courier.

Spidi Pathfinder cargo pants in tobacco

Hans: Very comfy on and off the bike

Very pleased with these as a comfortable pair of pants you can also wear off the bike. Slim fit and true to size. No need to replace armour with D3O Ghost, I tried both and original fit better without being bulky off the bike.
