Wearing motorcycle-specific pants is seen as a chore by many riders, and as such, is often done away with. It’s understandable, really, riding pants, especially bulky touring and adventure ones, can be very heavy, hot, and a PITA to wear. In the event of a crash, though, your legs are usually the first to make contact with the ground or another vehicle. That said, it’s always best to stay protected from head to toe.
Luckily, these days, motorcycle gear and apparel makers have developed tech that has brought about gear that’s more lightweight and comfortable than ever before, without compromising on safety and protection. One such piece comes from Italian gear maker PMJ, and its new Russell motorcycle jeans. These pants, when looked at from all angles, look just like any other pair of regular denims thanks to their subdued styling. You can’t even see any cutouts for where the protectors are inserted unless you look really hard.
