Riding Jeans from Joe Rocket

Joe Rocket Steel Jeans

Ever feel like a reject from the Apollo program? That's how one friend described feeling in a local restaurant we visited during a recent ride.

Joe Rocket Rocket Steel PantsIf you're looking for a more casual look when you ride, but still want some armor, we've got the ticket. Riding jeans are becoming really popular with ll sorts of riders because they look good and offer basic protection. Joe Rocket's Steel Jeans are made from 100% cotton denim that's heavier than most at 14.5-oz. The butt and knees are lined with an extra layer of cotton plus (get this!) steel-reinforced nylon. Thus the name. For the style-conscious rider they come in relaxed fit with boot-cut legs.

They feel comfortable to wear and look pretty good. Blue or black are available in a prewash finish. Sizes run pretty accurately around the waist, but the inseams were a little bit short. The steel woven into the reinforcements is faced with a heavy kevlar-ish fabric. Good thing too! Don't wear these to the airport.

Overall we like `em. For the reasonable price, they offer pretty good protection– though maybe not quite as strong as steel.
