These motorcycle jeans blend style, protection, and comfort extremely well.
I love motorcycle jeans. Personally, I don’t care for leather pants or chaps when riding, I find them to be a little too hot and I’m just not a cool enough guy to pull them off.
Also, most other motorcycle pants just look a little silly. With all of the great choices out there when it comes to motorcycle jeans, there’s not a reason to not pick some up. Quality pairs offer good protection, high levels of comfort, and stylish looks and fit.
Here are five pairs of motorcycle jeans with excellent reviews and features that come in under $250.
1. Fly Racing Resistance Jeans
Fly Racing offers some great gear for a very fair price. I’ve written about one of the company’s helmets in the past. These Fly Racing Resistance Jeans are another example of a product with some excellent features.
Here are the features:
- Durable 12 ounce denim
- Kevlar reinforced panels (70 percent coverage)
- CE level 1 knee armor and pockets for more
- Plaid pockets and interior trim detail
- Key chain attachment in front pocket

2. Highway 21 Defender Motorcycle Jeans
Highway 21 is another brand that makes quality gear for an affordable price. Is its stuff going to be as good as gear that costs twice or three times as much? Probably not, but if you’re looking for some good and affordable motorcycle jeans, then these Highway 21 Defender Jeans will get the job done.
Here are the features:
- Durable 12 ounce denim
- DuPont Kevlar reinforced panels (70 percent coverage)
- CE Level 1 knee armor with pockets for more armor
- Leather belt loop for chain attachment

- Slim straight fit
- Reinforced triple stitching on inseam and back rise
- Reinforced double layer back pant cuff
