Denim riding jeans baggy, boot-cut and skinny…

Alpinestars Rogue £171

Heightadjustable knee armour pockets with Level 1nd protection. We’d upgrade to Level 2 Forcefield Isolator 2 armour.

Top-price Klim jeans are straightleg cut with Cordura-reinforced cotton-nylon fabric available in three different blues. Inner panels are Dupont Kevlar, there’s padded tailbone protection, and knee pockets are adjustable. Malleable D30 Evo Level 1 knee and hip armour included.

Richa Ladies Skinny £125

Richa’s Skinnys slim enough are not to look like motorbike jeans and are available from sizes 6 to 26. There’s semistretch denim in blue or black and Level 1 D30 knee protectors. Less abrasion resistance than Draggin’s fullylined skinny Twista, but £75 cheaper. Richa’s male slim-fits are the £150 Bi-stretch.
