See all models: men’s motorcycle pants<\/a><\/strong> \u00b7 women’s motorcycle pants<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Before looking at protection, choose the type based on how you use your bike.<\/p>\n The most popular type for urban and daily use. They look like regular jeans but have aramid fiber on the inside<\/strong> (reinforcement in panels or woven into the denim) and CE protection at the knees and hips. Get off the bike and no one notices you’re wearing riding gear. They’re the most versatile option for riders who don’t want to carry technical clothing around. <\/p>\n For touring, travel, and mixed road-city use. Made from technical fabric\u2014cordura, polyamide, or similar\u2014with greater abrasion resistance than denim<\/strong>, compartments for protection, and in many models, a waterproof membrane and removable thermal liner. Less discreet than jeans but more versatile for varying weather conditions. <\/p>\n A variant between jeans and textile. They have cargo-style side pockets, technical fabric or aramid-reinforced denim, and CE protection. A practical option for those looking for comfort and functionality without the look of technical pants<\/strong>. <\/p>\n They offer the highest abrasion resistance in absolute terms, but weigh more, don’t breathe, and are mainly used for sport riding or track use. For daily urban use they’re not the usual choice. <\/p>\n Aramid<\/strong>\u2014best-known trade name: Kevlar\u2014is the fiber that turns regular jeans into motorcycle clothing. It resists abrasion where conventional denim would be destroyed in less than a second. It can be in interior panels in critical areas, or woven directly into the denim (single-layer technology), which is the most advanced system. If you want to understand the difference between the two in detail and see which Invictus models use each technology, we explain it in the aramid motorcycle jeans guide<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n Cordura is a high-tenacity polyamide fabric used in textile pants. It’s more abrasion-resistant than conventional denim<\/strong> and holds up better in weather conditions. Textile pants usually combine an outer cordura layer with aramid panels or lining in impact zones. <\/p>\n Cowhide or buffalo leather offers the best slide abrasion resistance. Leather pants are designed for sport use and high performance. For everyday city use they don’t offer practical advantages over aramid jeans. <\/p>\n Since 2021, the European regulation governing motorcycle clothing is EN 17092:2020<\/strong>, which replaces the previous EN 13595. All pants sold in the EU as motorcycle gear must be certified under this standard. There are three classes you’ll see on the market: <\/p>\n The class appears on the inside label of the pants along with the CE marking and motorcyclist pictogram. If that label doesn’t appear, the pants are not approved as motorcycle PPE<\/strong>, regardless of what the manufacturer says in the description.<\/p>\n In addition to the fabric class, look for CE EN 1621-1 protection<\/strong> for knees and hips. They can be level 1 or level 2. Level 2 absorbs more impact; if you ride a lot on the road, it’s worth it. <\/p>\n Class AA certified pants come with protection included at the knees and hips. But there are details that make a difference: <\/p>\n Urban use, daily commute:<\/strong> aramid motorcycle jeans with class A or AA certification are sufficient and most comfortable. Get off the bike and go to work without changing. If you want to put together a complete gear setup\u2014pants, jacket, and gloves\u2014without going over budget, we explain it in the complete motorcycle gear for under \u20ac300<\/a><\/strong> guide. <\/p>\n Mixed city-road use:<\/strong> class AA minimum. If you mix urban routes with weekend getaways, a waterproof model or one with a membrane saves you from carrying extra rain gear. Complete the gear with CE certified gloves from \u20ac39.95<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n Touring and long trips:<\/strong> textile pants with waterproof membrane, removable thermal liner, and class AA or AAA. The weight and comfort on long rides justify a specific model. The same concept of a garment adaptable to multiple seasons also applies to jackets: we explain it in the article about the Invictus three-layer system<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n Sport riding or track:<\/strong> leather or class AAA technical textile with level 2 protection included.<\/p>\nTypes of Motorcycle Pants<\/h2>\n
