Stylish, comfortable and great value for money. This is my second pair. I lost my last pair and decided to replace them instead of trying something new. They don’t disappoint.

John Doe Cargo XTM Aramid Jeans - Stroker Camel John Doe Cargo XTM Aramid Jeans - Stroker Camel
We all know the adage......you get what you pay for! Well in this case, you certainly do. These are expensive, no doubt about it, but my opinion is, they are well worth it.
The quality is obvious, the fit is just right, the comfort is sublime. This is my second pair of John Doe cargo trousers. My first pair purchased three years ago are still going strong (mono defender style) so I had no reservations about buying a second pair!
Their latest aramid builds contain a small amount of lycra which only adds to the fit and comfort. The extra liner is also very comfortable and feels quality against your skin, and just right for spring/autumn riding. The armour protection is barely noticeable and so also, very comfy. There is a large array of sizes available, so most riders can be accommodated. It's always best to try before you buy which is where SBS shines through! Always a good range in stock so I was able to choose the right size and length. I'm usually a 35 waist but the 34 was a comfortable fit. This is where the lycra help greatly. Unfortunately the camel colour I wanted was out of stock, but as usual, SBS were quick to re-stock and quick to ship!
I seem to be rabbiting on a little so I will conclude!
Great quality, very comfortable, look great on......I would easily buy these again!!

John Doe Mono Pioneer Aramid Jeans - Used Black John Doe Mono Pioneer Aramid Jeans - Used Black
My jeans arrived next day, what great service.
They fitted perfectly, true to size and feel really tough, heavier than a normal pair of jeans. The armour is discreet and you can hardly tell its there when off the bike, getting the knee armour in exactly the right place inside the internal pockets is a case of trial and error, but you can make a note of the final position using the printed guides on the armour pockets.
I ride a 1978 Moto Guzzi Le Mans and the knee armour is excellent as sometimes my left knee touches the hot cylinder. The jeans are comfortable when on the bike with enough stretch, and look great off the bike. Highly recommend

I got these and a pair of John Doe Mono Pioneer Aramid. Both 34 x 34 (I'm 6ft 2).
They fitted the leg and waist well, but I just found the legs a little baggy, compared to what I was looking for.

If you like a little more room on the legs, go for these, if you prefer more of a slim fit go for the John Doe Mono Pioneer Aramid.

Safety First:
I'd planned to review these a few weeks ago when I got them but never got around to it. Unfortunately today I had an accident, and I was so impressed with how they held up I decided to come and do a review.
I was travelling around 45mph when a car hit the side of my bike and I went down, sliding about 5-6m.

You can see in the photo the knee took the brunt of it, there was a small mark on the armour, but otherwise held up really well and all I got was a scrap on the knee.

Size & Fit:
I originally bought a bull-it jeans less than half the price. While they were functional they didn't look or fit as good as these.

The John Doe Mono Pioneer are lighter, and look closer to the pair of Levi's I wear when not on the bike.

I'm 6ft 2 and went for the 34" leg which fits perfectly. The waist size is a little snugger than my equivalent Levi's (but still ok). If you're on the upper end of a size, I'd go one bigger.
Note that I also tried a pair of the John Doe classic, which I found a little baggy, so these were a nicer fit for me.

I'd definitely recommend these, and once the insurance gets sorted I'll buy another pair.
