  1. How to Choose Motorcycle Pants That Actually Protect You Motorcycle trousers aren’t just about comfort or style — they’re a vital part of your riding safety gear

  2. Best Motorcycle pants aren’t just about comfort or style — they’re a vital part of your riding safety gear. The right pair can reduce injury in a crash, while the wrong ones might offer little more protection than ordinary jeans. With so many options on the market, how do you choose motorcycle pants that actually protect you? Here’s a practical guide to help you find trousers that offer real, road-tested safety.

  3. 1. Look for CE Certification Start by checking the CE rating of the garment. The EN17092 standard is used across Europe and the UK to certify motorcycle clothing for safety. Aim for: AAA: Highest level of abrasion resistance, suitable for high-speed riding AA: A strong choice for touring and everyday use A: Basic protection for urban and short-distance riding The CE label should also indicate the level of protection in areas like the knees and hips.

  4. 2. Check the Armour The best motorcycle trousers include CE-certified impact protectors, especially at the knees and hips. These inserts should meet CE Level 1 or Level 2 standards. Level 2 offers better energy absorption and is ideal for riders who want maximum protection. Make sure the armour is securely positioned and adjustable to suit your leg length and riding posture.

  5. 3. Consider Abrasion-Resistant Materials Denim alone won’t protect you. Choose trousers made with or lined by materials like: Pekev®: Offers some of the highest abrasion resistance on the market 4. Fit and Comfort Matter Too Poorly fitted trousers can shift in a crash or cause discomfort on longer rides. Look for features like: Stretch panels and ergonomic shaping Adjustable waist or ankle fastenings Breathable and weather-resistant fabrics Good gear doesn’t have to be bulky or stiff — modern materials offer both safety and comfort.
