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 Frankly, such people are out of date, and don't understand modern motorcycle wear.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

Geoff: Good idea well executed

I like these trousers. I followed the advice on sizing, glad I did as the 2XL for my 36 inch waist is spot on. I have been wearing them over trousers, long winter jumpers and multiple layers however there is ample adjustment still available in the Velcro waist straps. I thought I might need braces, however the waist adjustment cinched up nicely and the trousers stay up. Short leg length works ok for my usual casual trouser 27 inch inside leg. Just the right length on the bike KTM 790 ADV however off the bike the trousers billow in odd ways, thanks to the fairly rigid zip in each leg not folding like the material and looking crumpled at times. But then they are very easy to remove. These trousers are proving surprisingly comfortable, very cosy in quite cold weather 6c and easy to move about in. Might be a bit much for hot weather. Armour sits in the right places, although the hip armour pockets do move around a lot as they are only tethered at the top edge and can be felt at times as the armour wedges between you and the seat! Not tested in the rain, yet. Overall Im surprised and pleased with these trousers, especially the way the fabric feels. So much so that Id like a regular styled pair of motorcycle trousers in this soft shell material, when circumstances allow.

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.
