Helping You Choose The Right Motorcycle Pants With Over 20 Years Of In Depth Reviews: We Walk, Wear & Ride Pants Of All Shapes, Sizes & Styles
With hundreds of styles of motorcycle pants there is really something for every riding type, fashion style, weather conditions and body size. Shapes and sizes of all types can be found and materials ranging from modern textiles, mesh materials and even old fashioned leather are just the start.
Over the years we’ve tried on a lot of motorcycle pants. Back in the old days it was almost impossible to wear pants off a bike but as the years have progressed and companies have received feedback from reviewers like us and consumers, things have changed. Now you can buy a pair of motorcycle pants that not only protect you and make riding comfortable but can also be worn to work, an event or everything in between.
The other thing we’ve noticed over the years of reviewing pants is that while pants are increasingly multi-taskable they are also more focused. If you spend time on the track you can get very specific pants just for that. Likewise for those who cruise long distances or spend most of their time in cold-weather riding conditions.
The big thing to look for in motorcycle pants is safety. Made of abrasion resistant man-made materials or leather, pants can take a big scrape and prevent road rash if you come off our bike. Both textiles and leather are excellent choices for motorcycle pants that can hold up in a crash. Pants also have insertable armor plates for added protection (not all pants have this but we highly recommend you find a pair that does). Added features like weatherproof construction, venting and pockets, or reflective hi-viz colors are all nice, but when it comes down to it, fit, comfort and style play a huge part in what you should choose.
Which type of motorcycle pants are right for you will depend on the type of riding you do, and which features are most important to you. Definitely dive into our reviews so you can understand the trade-offs with each pair.
