The Bowtex Optimal leggings for men are versatile base-layer motorcycle trousers that can be worn comfortably under any outfit. AA-certified for protective performance, these motorcycle leggings strike a strong balance between impact resistance and comfort.
Bowtex, a Belgian-designed and European-made brand, was born out of a real-world need: motorcycle riders looking for better protective gear that doesn’t come with the weight and bulk of traditional motorcycle clothing. You’ll notice that innovative mindset the moment you pull on the Optimal.
Constructed from advanced UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene), this technical fabric delivers outstanding flexibility and wear resistance. It’s lightweight, breathable, and stretches in all directions, so much so that you’ll barely feel like you’re wearing protective motorcycle gear. One of the best things about these motorcycle leggings are their sheer versatility. You wear them easily under your regular trousers, whether that’s a pair of motorcycle jeans or city trousers.
SAS-TEC Level 1 knee and hip protectors come as standard. They’re light, flexible, and CE-approved – providing reliable protection for commuting, touring, or just heading into town. These protectors are barely noticeable once fitted, and thanks to the lightweight construction of the leggings, you can wear them all day without discomfort. If you prefer to change once off the bike, no problem: the Optimal folds away compactly and fits easily into your motorcycle backpack or side case.
Stretch panels at the waist and ankles ensure a secure, snug fit while the optional heel loop keeps everything in place in case of a slide. You can comfortably wear these leggings all day, even in warmer conditions.
Looking after the Optimal is simple: wash at 30°C and allow it to dry naturally (out of direct sunlight). Just remember to remove the protectors before washing.
