Meanwhile, motorcycle jeans come in all shapes, sizes, prices, colors and formats. That's a good thing. Not so long ago, as a motorcyclist you were condemned to 'wear whatever was around'. As a girl biker too, for that matter. And that's a thing of the past.
Germas has been producing motorcycle clothing since 1978 and has recently started to do so with a clear IXS link. The latter - a name like a Swiss clock in motorcycle circles - resulted in a repositioning, a new name (gms) and a lot of extra know-how and expertise.
The result? Among other things, these budget-friendly motorcycle jeans. The Rattle is less snakey than the name suggests, unless it refers to the 'slim fit' silhouette. Tight around the lower legs, and a few percent stretch material in the otherwise mainly cotton exterior. Especially cotton, because we expect more from a pair of motorcycle jeans.
In this case, that 'more' comes in the form of Kevlar® fibers - also known as Aramid - which make up about 60% of the inner surface. The focus is on the areas most at risk. This ‘more’ category also includes the height-adjustable knee protectors and the standard hip protectors. Both come from the SAS TEC production hall, which is very positive.
The Rattle jeans are therefore a welcome addition to the range. Without a doubt. At a price that avoids you having to start counting coins.
The slim cut makes wearing boots underneath the pants not an option.
