When you’re shopping for motorcycle gear, it can be difficult to separate useful information from marketing copy. That’s why the folks at Bennetts Bike purchase the gear that they then independently test and speak to unaffiliated experts about—and clearly explain their testing methods, as well as the end result.
Take this test of motorcycle jeans in 2022, for example. The battle here is single-layer moto jeans versus lined ones, how safe they are in general, and how they stack up against leather. While most riders are probably aware that leather is usually the best protection, it’s not always what riders want to wear. Track days are one thing, but leather pants can definitely feel bulky and more than a little like overkill if you’re just heading out to run a few errands in your neighborhood.
