Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
These customers praise the jeans for their quality feel, comfort and strong protection, with AAA-rated confidence and well-placed armour. Several highlight the adjustable knee pads, higher waistband and improved fit on and off the bike, especially for shorter riders. The jeans are described as durable, good-looking and comfortable on long rides, while some note sizing can be generous and may need careful selection for the best fit.
Good fit, thick denim with liner that keeps the wind out
Perfect balance between weight and strength, superbly put together, high back very comfortable and flex at knees allows armour to sit perfectly. Adjustable armour location for knees really works and it’s contoured nature means it is comfortable. I am 5’10” and a chubby 38” waist and these 38” regular length are a perfect fit. A size down would not have fitted. These feel like a substantial step up in protection from my much loved but lighter AA jeans.
I usually wear 32 or 33 in regular jeans. These in 32 fit me perfectly. The fabric has some stretch so they contour very well at the waist. That plus the fact that the armor is very comfortable makes them my most used riding jeans.
The only criticism I have is that the velcro in the knee pockets is a bit exposed and the edges irritate my skin if I wear them with low socks so I really need to use thick & high socks (to my knee) to avoid that issue. I think this could be solved if the back of the velcro was sewn to a piece of fabric to better cover the rough/hard borders that get close to the skin.
Still, I they are very good and I even have bought now two other pairs which have been gifts to my friends.
I bought these jeans as they did very well in the abrasion test done by Bike social.
They are comfortable to wear on & off the bike. The leg length is slightly longer than regular non bike jeans & as is typical with most RST trousers, you may need to go down a size or 2 to get a proper close fit. I normally wear 34" or 36", in RST it's 32".
Bought these on the strength of Bennets review of Jeans in which these obtained the highest and frankly astonishingly good ratings. Abrasion resistance in the leather "mid range". They are same size as my every day jeans and no need for a size up or down.
These fit big size down. Look great on and off the bike. Bit pricey but get what you pay for. Happy with these jeans. Fast dispatch and delivery
Fantastic jeans , armour is nicely placed for hip and knee , super soft and rise nicely at the back to avoid bikers ass crack , quite thick compared to my previous ones but will be great all year round , very happy , definitely fit big so would recommend down sizing by one size , I’m normally a 38/40 had to go to a 36 in these but they are brilliant ,very happy!
The style and fit are just what i was after, And RST X Kevlar Tech Pro Jeans ticked all my boxes,
The jeans let a nice airflow through and with the AAA armour you are still protected.
You get what you pay for in jeans don't skimp.
Comfortable to ride in, good fit just hoping they are going to appeal to the chicks!!!
Well worth the money..
The sizing video was a great help in choosing sizes. Very happy with quality and fit
She picked, they're good and she likes them
what else to say
At first, when I saw them on the hanger in the store, I thought they were expensive. Then I tried them on and I understood why. The material is reassuringly thick, and on the inside you can see where Kevlar panels have been sewn into them. The hip and knee armour is also level 2 with the knee protectors tucked into pockets which allow the plates to be adjusted to three different positions and sit lower or higher. The waistline at the back is also tapered to cover a small part of your lower back, so I guess if you take a tumble and your jacket and jeans aren’t zipped together there’s still a reasonable amount of your back that’s covered by AAA rated fabric. It seems that RST have really thought these through and made a pair of comfortable, safe, nice looking jeans. I’d definitely buy another pair.
Product was as described. Fit was exactly right. I am a 36" waist, 30" leg and the 36 short size fitted perfectly. Comfortable to wear and fitted with all the necessary protection for hips and knees.
Extremely comfortable, cool on hot days and warm on colder days by keeping out the cold air and come with level 2 protection in the hips and knees. I already had a blue pair and was ready after 5 years use to add a 2nd pair to my gear.
When looking for bike jeans these RST ones really jumped out at me. Great design. Excellent quality. And stupidly comfortable. Highly recommended.
Ideal winter jeans - fit well high back and tough. Warm and cosy!

These jeans don't have a connection zip, however an RST zip connection belt can be found on quick find 583291, which allows you to zip up any jean that uses a belt to your RST jacket.
These jeans are all a regular leg length of 32.
