Our customers say…
These customers praise the jeans for exceptional quality, comfort, and a regular, stylish look that doesn’t appear bulky. Many note the AAA safety rating, strong construction, and discreet armour. Sizing often runs large, so several recommend sizing down for the best fit. The jeans are described as lightweight, breathable, and comfortable both on and off the bike, with thoughtful details and good value despite the higher price.

Excellent 
12 Sep 2026 by David M
I bought these jeans because of a recommendation by AI of all things! I've found them to be very comfortable and a nice loose fit , therefore very easy to wear on the bike. I like the theory behind the system for positioning the knee armour but found it lacking in reality! I found the original (and genuine John doe level 2) armour difficult to get into the correct position as with the jeans being such a loose fit it never seemed to be in the correct place once on the bike. Also I found the velcro that's used to attach the armour into the pocket irritated my knee after a while. To try to cure both these problems I bought D30 gohst armour with velcro attached but instead of having the velcro towards my knees I turned it the other way so the velcro was facing outwards. I personally found this to help with the positioning of the armour as with the D30 armour being flat it's easier the get it to sit over my knees and the problem of the velcro irritating me is now gone.
Overall I'm very happy with these jeans, definitely the most comfortable ones I've owned.
And as always great service from sportsbikeshop.

Superb as ever

Lightweight but feel very protective. Best jeans I ve ever owned for summer riding, but they do run large though , so went down 2 inches at the waist and with the stretch in the jeans now perfect fit! Great service as always from Sportsbikeshop price matching with another retailer!

Great quality jeans.
16 Jul 2026 by Geoff
Knew they’re generous waist wise, so ordered 33’’ instead of my usual 34’’, too big so returned and got 32’’, still too big, so returned again and got 31’’. These were perfect. Service was incredible from Sportsbike! All 3 pairs received in 7 days, The fly zip could be an inch longer but would recommend these and would buy again!!

QUALITY!
23 May 2026 by Dan J
very well made jeans, and great protection rating. They are expensive but id still buy another pair in a different colour soon because of there quality. i ordered a 32'' long, and i maybe should of sized down to a 31 even though im between a 32 and 34 in jeans normally, best to order a few sizes to store and try before you buy for that perfect fit

Really nice jeans
04 May 2026 by Leigh G
These jeans are so nice and most people would struggle to tell that they are armoured. Probably my best pair of jeans. On some trousers/jeans I m a 32. But 31 waist was just right. Not too tight on the legs either

Quality and supreme comfort
10 Mar 2026 by Alan
The quality is faultless beautifully made and very comfy tho the feel of strength is immediately shown on the first touch of the product.
The slight stretch to the fabric as you expand over lunchtime is also very accommodating.
5 stars from me and towards sportsbikeshop as we all now know how blinking good they are.

Great fit and comfy
02 Mar 2026 by Matthew R
I ordered a few pairs of jeans to try on in store and decided on these. The fit is great and looks like normal jeans. They have good weight to them and feel comfy and protective. They come with level 1 armour which I changed to level 2. The knee pockets are large with space for any protector and adjustment. The hip pockets aren’t as big but fit some Sas-tec SC-1/HB2 armour in them fine

Nice comfortable jeans but armour way too small
19 Feb 2026 by Andy R
Jeans themselves feel & look good quality. However for AAA rated jeans the armour in the knees is tiny - smaller than most hip armour and I cannot imagine how it could protect the knees at all. Therefore you need to budget for buying new armour. With the jeans already top end price at £235, the additional cost of armour makes them very expensive. Whilst they are nice I do not see they justify such a premium over some other quality jeans.

Great selections of cut and style from John Doe. Seems to be great quality and fit, replacing my old bullit cover ones. Looks like normal jeans, very happy

Pretty decent looking Jean, well made and works with the aesthetic of not looking like you are wearing biker gear. Pairs nicely with my belstaff

Are these a good fit?

This is my second pair of John Doe Jeans. They look good enough to wear to work. I went for a slightly longer leg length so the are long enough when sitting on the bike.

Best riding jean I've ever purchased
29 Aug 2025 by SLB
Fits true, kneepad fitting system is the best I've encountered, Comfortable and tough. You can't go wrong. Just wish it had a bit longer fly. Otherwise—deluxe.
