Casual look with good protection
RIDER AN ALYSIS
Personally, I've never had a pair of moto jeans
before, as I usually ride with full protective
gear, but these jeans don't make me feel like
I'm lacking protection, and I really like the way
they fit. The Micas Urban Jeans are stretchy
jeans that feel good and look great. Their knee
pads are comfortable and stay in place while
you're riding. You could even take the knee
pads out and wear the jeans as regular casual
clothing, and no one would know that they're
made for riding motorcycles.
With Kevlar in the seat and knees, and CE
level 2 knee pads, plus the available hip pads,
I'd be perfectly okay wearing them on an all-
day cross-country ride, as long as there's no
rain in the forecast. Kevlar sounds like it would
be hard and uncomfortable, but whatever
Trilobite did to integrate the Kevlar with the
denim makes it very soft and not at all stiff.

URBAN MOTORCYCLE JEANS
•Available hip pads should
come standard
•Not waterproof
•Soft, stretchy jeans that
look great
•CE level 2 protection in the knees
•Fit like your favorite jeans
They feel like your favorite pair of jeans from the first mo-
ment you put them on. So far, I've only worn them on lunch
rides to the local M/C hangout, but I'll be happy to add
them to my collection of travel gear, especially for those
kinds of events where you're on and off the bike, kicking
tires and talking about motorcycles.
