DAINESE D6
Blue; 28-44 inch waist

$199.95
Keviar yarn woven into heavy denim gives these non-armored jeans an added measure of tear resistance. Keviar stitching and jersey-knit knee panels enhance protection while minimizing bulk. A thin strip above the back pocket and brand logos on the insides of the cuffs are reflective, making the wearer more visible to traffic at night. Super-comfortable, these jeans look the least like motorcycle gear.
ICON HOOLIGAN
Dark Blue, Grey; 28-44 waist

$120
Protection on demand? Unique to these 14-ounce, relaxed-fit jeans, lowprofile external zippers located on the outside of each knee allow the wearer to quickly insert or remove supplied CE-approved Field Armor while wearing the pants. Abrasion and heat-resistant panels further add to knee/shin protection. Plastic capped waist button protects gas-tank paint, and rolling the cuffs exposes reflective piping.

Attention to detail is clearly evident throughout these comfort-cut, 12-ounce stonewashed jeans, right down to the logoed waist-closure button and pocket rivets. Kevlar is layered generously at the seat and knees, further fortified by removable, height-adjustable, CE-certified knee armor and Velcro-tabbed hip pads. Staff favorites, these pre-curved, five pocket pants look and feel great on or off the bike.
