The John Doe Pioneer Jeans sport a slim cut that’s bestowed with AAA abrasion resistance and included infinitely adjustable knee, and hip armor.
Also offered in a straight-leg cut (John Doe Taylor Jeans), the Pioneer has been a best seller ever since it came out several seasons back. It’s got a clean cut, soft cotton face feel against the leg, and is easy to wear daily while still offering the a reassuring AAA certification and clandestine armor.
John Doe's house-brand hip and fully-adjustable knee armor is included. It's also offered in a larger profile version, in Level 1 or Level 2. But if you're going to upgrade we've found that D3o Ghost Level 2 makes a great upgrade—we offer a with custom D3O armor set as a satisfying upgrade.
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 Pioneers are offered in three good-looking colors—a “used black” which really looks more like an asphalt faded black; an Indigo Blue, and a Dark 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 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.
