  • SHIFT RACING KEVLAR REINFORCED RIDING JEANS

    Ok, somebody asked about these Shift Racing Jeans I just bought. Well I received them today. I needed some because I do not like to ride without ALL protective gear. Sometimes though, when running to the base exchange a few miles away and the speed limit not being over 30, I don't need to have the full leathers even though I ride with them anyway. I needed an alternative for the base runs.

    The verdict:

    Very, very comfortable jeans that don't even look like they have anything to do with a motorcycle. They fit just like my Levis and look great. The size runs just as the Levis do in 34. In fact, the wifey had no idea they were for the motorcycle and said nice jeans! Perfect!

    The knees are reinforced and the pants are kevlar reinforced as well. I paid $59.00 at motorcycle closeouts. com, regularly, $79.00.

    Why Shift Racing?
    I know the Shift Racing brand for their awesome dirt bike stuff and was very pleased when they transitioned to street gear. I also had bought the leather race suit and gloves and was very pleased with the quality and fit.
    I was not disappointed with this purchase either. THUMBS UP!

    Update: I took them to work today and they were comfortable and actually blocked the wind quite well.

      Just to had about Shift gear. It is actually made by FOX. Fox Racing = Shift Gear and Shift Gear=Fox Racing.

      I have a Shift Leather Jacket and it came with hard armour in the elbows and shoulders. Great Jacket for the price I got it at.

          Yup, goes without saying for dirt bike guys but great info to know for anyone wondering their reputation, which is awesome.

              I was interested in some of these as well. Other than abrasion resistance, is there anything to absorb an impact?

                  Are there any jeans available with built in armor or padding? That would be optimal, but I'll definately look into these. I'm just wearing jeans half the time anyway, so this would definately be a step up.

                        For impact I believe Draggin Jeans have the padding...I thought some one said that you need to order one size larger than your normal size to make room for the pads...but I could be wrong...

                            These would fit with some armor protection easy. They fit like loose fit Levis.
