Crafted from a single layer of XTM Fiber—a proprietary weave that fuses Cordura, Kevlar, and denim—these single-layer jeans are ideal for warm days when you want robust protection without bulk.

With a tapered fit, these jeans are roomier at the waist and thighs and gradually narrow down to a close fit at the ankles, striking a comfortable balance between straight-cut John Doe Taylor model and the slim-cut Pioneer model. They’re stylish and comfortable, featuring a classic 5-pocket design, a subtle stretch for mobility, and thoughtful touches like a fastening tab for gloves or keys.

Note: for exact measurements, see the detailed size guide. We have measured individual, physical garments, and listed the method and the results for every jean. Compare to your own jeans at home for best the apples-to-apples comparison. 

The Secret Sauce

The key ingredient in John Doe’s monolayer riding jeans is its proprietary XTM fabric—a blend of Cordura, Kevlar, and denim that will survive a 75mph torture test, achieving the best-in-class AAA CE safety rating.



*Not only does the AAA rating indicate these jeans pass the highest available speed rating, it also guarantees certain performance metrics relating to seam-burst strength, and cut resistance.


The resulting material does it all—looks good, vents well in the summer, and thanks to some built-in mechanical stretch, is remarkably comfortable to wear, on and off the bike.

Perfect Armor Placement

That abrasion aspect of the motorcycle safety equation is well handled by the John Doe material story, but the impact aspect is covered equally well, thanks to what is the best knee armor adjustment system we’ve seen to date—and we’ve seen them all.



John Doe’s solution is dead simple—first it manufactures its own XTM brand Level 1 armor, which itself is lightweight, ventilated, and pliable. Next, two micro-hook Velcro strips are included on each knee armor piece, which lets the user precisely position the pieces into the knee pockets.

While the knee armor is on the smaller side, profile-wise, the brilliant “bullseye” positioning system lets the wearer target exactly where the knee armor needs to be. One can then record the position in relation to the provided reference marks, and then removal and re-installation becomes a cinch.

  • CE certification: AAA (EN17092-2:2020)
