This means that the overall appearance of your jeans isn’t impacted at all (wax can slightly change the tone of your jeans) and, if you get soaked the outer denim layer will absorb water however the inner later will prevent your legs from getting wet and losing heat.

Motorcyclists represent one of the most vulnerable road user groups. Typically in the UK motorcyclists represent 1% of traffic but 19% of the casualties. Significantly, around 80% of all motorcyclist fatalities and 70% of those with serious injuries, sustain head injuries. Research also shows that, statistically, head impacts are distributed uniformly around the circumference of the helmet. Made with original Halley Stevenson’s Scottish waxed cotton in a heritage denim cut, these jeans will appeal to retro enthusiasts.And after that denim layer absorbs all the water it can hold, it still feels like you have wet pants on. The waterproof membrane works, so my legs stayed dry. But having a soaking wet layer over a thin layer still feels like you’re wet. In addition to the membrane, DUER uses spandex for stretch, CoolMax to regulate temperature, 3M reflective details, a gusseted crotch, and Silvadur treatment for odor neutralization. There’s Thinsulate™ Original which is warm yet lightweight, powerful yet thin. It helps trap body heat, while allowing moisture to escape. There’s also Thinsulate ™ Water Resistant which opens up a whole new world of warmth and comfort. Made with hydrophobic fibres for advanced water resistance, it will help keep bikers warm, comfortable and dry without unnecessary weight. With the lining over the jeans you will be able to see if the lining sizing needs adjusting at all.

However, the removable thermal layer is very effective – more than enough for cold winter riding. And with it removed, these jeans will be comfortable in all but the hottest UK weather. Gore-Tex Gore-Tex Gore-Tex is a waterproof and breathable fabric that resists water droplets from passing through while at the same time allowing moisture from the inside to evaporate. (126)Waterproof jeans can be made from denim, textile material or even leather. While leather is rarely full waterproof, it can be paired with textile material and membranes to achieve decent water repellence.

CE Tested: - Implies that the manufacturer tested the whole or just a piece of a garment within their own facility that might meet certain standards. However, the garment is not necessarily tested in a certified testing facility. This encapsulation process makes the Thermocules™ exceptionally durable for motorcycling. The Thermocules™ can be woven into fabrics and fibres to absorb, store and release excess heat. This gives motorcycle clothing that contains Outlast® technology the ability to regulate the skin’s microclimate continually. As you get hot, the heat is absorbed, and as it cools, that heat is released.
