If you have read the other posts you will know I am a massive fan of Hood Jeans.
I recently got a pair of the best selling hood motorcycle jean – the Blue K7 Jeans and I equipped these with the D3O™ Evo hip and knee armour.
Usually I wear a different motorcycle trouser from the Hood range – the Hood B15 Motorcycle jeans.
I love all Hood motorcycle trousers as they are available with an extra long leg (I am 6′ 5″ with a 36″ inside leg!), come with the comfortable K‑tech Para‑aramid abrasion protection from waistband down to the shins and look good on and off the bike.
Hood K-tech Para-aramid
The Hood K7 motorcycle jeans really do look like a classic five pocket denim Jean – granted a heavier weight denim – but I guess that is all the protective goodness within them – and that is another great reason to choose Hood Jeans as you should always #ridesafe..
The Hood K-tech Para-aramid is weight for weight five times stronger than steel and covers from waist to shins (or top of boots) – This is preferable to covering so called ‘crash points’ with smaller amounts of protection.
You could easily get away with wearing these jeans when you get off the bike and are socialising with non-riders – I get this a lot!
D3O™ Evo hip and knee armour
All Hood jeans come with the option of inserting D3O™ Evo hip and knee armour into the easily accessible pockets.
Whilst this does add some weight (not much) and a little bit more bulk – I know that I would rather have this than ride without the protection!
D3O™ armour is strong, light and incredibly comfortable. It provides amazing levels of impact protection.
How does D3O™ armour work?
D3O™ material in its raw state flows freely when moved slowly, but on shock, locks together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to its flexible state. This unique characteristic delivers enhanced protection, while providing a flexible, light and comfortable to wear material.
