The Dylan jean from John Doe provides ample protection both from abrasion, thanks to AAA-rated tech denim, as well as impact, thanks to included (and highly adjustable) slim-fitting hip and knee armor.
The John Doe DNA makes this easily the most protective and high-performance skinny jean ever made for riding motorcycles.
This same winning recipe is also offering in a classic straight-leg cut (John Doe Taylor Jeans) and Slim cut (John Doe Pioneer Jeans).
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.
The Dylans are offered in two good-looking colors—a “used black” which really looks more like an asphalt gray; and and Indigo Blue.
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 user target exactly where the knee armor needs to be. Record the position with the provided reference marks, and then removal and re-installation becomes a cinch.
A Cut Above
This new-to-us (and the U.S.) riding brand takes fitting to the next level with a whopping four different leg length options per model on this Pioneer model, and waist-size increments every single inch through the most popular sizes.
The result is a staggering 80+ different size/color combinations in some models. We aim to keep the standard 32-length models in stock at all times, but if you’re looking for a short, long, or extra-long length, please utilize the "Stock Notification" feature that pops up after keying a waist/length/color combination that’s not currently in stock. Or you can always email us directly to
We’re re-ordering and receiving more John Doe products multiple times a week, and would be happy to bring in a size with no risk to you.
