WHY RIDERS CHOOSE OUR PANTS
Details
80% of motorcycle injuries involve your legs. But less than half of riders choose to protect their stems. You shouldn't have to choose between safety and looking good. That's why we designed our License to Ride Pants to be the holy trinity of protection, style, and comfort.
Why riders choose our pants:
- Removable CE-approved armor in the knee & hip areas keeps you protected
- Premium 11 oz denim so you can look good on and off the bike
- Slim, but not skinny fit to help you balance style and comfort
- Knee and back spandex for a stretchy and athletic fit
CE-approved armor is included with your purchase for FREE.
Why we made them
Riding pants aren't created equal. Like you, most riders searching for the perfect riding pants give up and decide their everyday jeans are the answer. Why? Because riding pants have bulky padding, uncomfortable material, overpriced, and just look bad.
We used to say the same thing until we got burned, literally. Like over 20,000 riders each year, we experienced road rash.
So, we set out to create protective motorcycle pants so stylish, comfortable, and versatile you’ll never want to take them off.

OUR PROCESS
RIDING PANTS AREN'T CREATED EQUAL.
There are many styles available online and before starting this looooong project we tested them all. We then got started on finding the perfect riding pant materials. We thought this would be easy.
After testing nearly two dozen different combinations (no exaggeration) we nearly gave up. And then, in the end, stumbled on ‘the one.’ Turns out, it’s the composition of the materials that makes all the difference. Three things stand out:
- The pant is constructed with a DESIGNER grade 11oz denim, but also contains 2% spandex. This keeps things stretchy.
- The SPANDEX ratio has to be perfectly dialed in, not too stretchy or firm. This may seem like a simple “split the difference” situation, but it isn't. Precise calculations are needed to get the stretch just right. Off by even a little and it’ll affect overall pant and ride quality
- QUALITY that will last you years. It’s easy to find some cheap denim jeans that will hold up a few wash cycles. It’s an entirely different matter to engineer something that will hold up for years to come.

3 REASONS TO WEAR OUR PANTS:
YOU’RE NOT DRESSING FOR THE SLIDE
No one plans for trouble on the bike, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress for it. Our pants include FREE CE-approved knee and hip armor with purchase. You’ll enjoy every ride a little more when you’re protected. And mom will be proud, too.
YOU DON’T WANT TO GET BURNED
Ask any backpacker who has rented a scooter for the first time in South East Asia. Hot exhausts are a recipe for burns… especially when you’re riding in shorts. Don’t be that newb.
YOU’RE NOT FEELING GOOD OFF THE BIKE
Maybe you’re already wearing riding pants. That’s the most important thing. But if your current pants aren’t doing you any favors in the fashion department, it’s time for a change.
