Motorcycle denim

Nothing quite compares to exploring the world by bike – and when it comes to motorcycle denim, nothing compares to Dyneema®. That’s because it speeds right past the trade-off between style, safety, and durability, supporting the creation of articles that deliver all three at once.

Recognizing these unrivaled qualities, designers around the world are using Dyneema® to create motorcycle denim that keeps users safer – and more comfortable – as they experience the thrill of the open road.

Revolutionizing motorcycle denim

By opening the door to comfortable, single-layer denim that meets European conformity (CE) standards for protection, Dyneema® brings this iconic fabric to the cutting edge of 21^st-century material science. Brands can take full advantage of Dyneema®’s revolutionary potential. Besides offering unparalleled protection, motorcycle denim, including motorcycle jeans and jackets, with Dyneema® is also soft, light and thermally conductive allowing the rider freedom and comfort on and off the bike.

Supporting sustainable innovation for denim motorcycle apparel

Versatility isn’t the full story, either. Motodenim gear designers are also drawn to Dyneema® because it’s the most sustainable high-performance fiber on the market.

Bio-based Dyneema® fiber used in consumer products has a 90% lower carbon footprint than generic HMPE fiber. And because articles made with Dyneema® have such excellent durability and reliability, they last longer and reduce material usage over time.

In addition, 100% of the electricity used in our manufacturing comes from renewable sources.

All these efforts add up to a fiber whose carbon footprint per unit of strength is lower than any other – a vital factor for brands looking to meet growing consumer demands for sustainable products, including denim motorcycle jeans and jackets.

Looking to design protective jeans that offer outstanding protection while doubling as everyday wear, SA1NT found the perfect material in Dyneema®. These abrasion-resistant jeans can withstand a 75-meter slide on asphalt – and the stretchiness of Dyneema® ensures that articles are comfortable and wearable, both on and off the bike.

El Solitario protective jeans

El Solitario developed their protective jeans with Dyneema® denim for an expedition into the African Sahara. They will protect for over 4 seconds of slide time – while still aging like regular denim.
