It is you to feel embarrassed by the sunburn marks!

Now, let's return to the main subject. In this article, I will talk about how to choose the riding pants that are good to wear during the summer season.

What is the difference between universal pants and riding pants in the first place? There will be a lot of young riders who probably tilted their heads. In simple comparison, it is a difference between a French bulldog and a pug.

Clearly there is no such thing as "riding pants so there is absolutely this feature". There are various specifications depending on the manufacturer and product, such as the waterproof function using original material, the ventilation function to improve the wind passage and the presence or absence of protectors. Let's think about pants that are made by a motorcycle apparel manufacturer and have some functions suitable for riding as "riding pants".

Function of riding pants

I think that it is easy to understand the difference between the universal pants and the riding pants that are common in the above section is very ambiguous. Here, I will introduce some features that are well equipped in the riding pants.

  • Ventilation

    An intake hole that allows the running wind to be efficiently taken into the wearing pants. If you feel that it is general and cold that can be opened and closed with a zipper, you can shut out the air.

  • Waterproof / water repellent
  • A Summertime touring that often rains suddenly. It is waterproof / water repellent function that is good to be prepared for such a situation. Prevents water from getting into the inner.

  • Equipped with a protector

    There are many riding pants that come with a protector in case of an accident, or pockets that can optionally be equipped with pads. If you are a type of riders who are into ups and down, choose pants that have a protector function.

  • Boots adjuster

    In preparation for injury, many riders wear riding boots to protect their ankles, but many motorcycle apparel manufacturers give room to the hem in preparation for the combination with boots. There are various adjustment methods such as VELCRO type, faster type, button type, so let's adjust so that the hem is narrowed after wearing the boots.

  • Flame retardant reinforcement
  • DP-27-NV_03.jpg
    Although it depends on the type of motorcycle, the exhaust heat engine of a motorcycle is often quite severe, and in rare cases, burns or charring of pants due to exhaust heat from the exhaust is mentioned at the beginning. You can not laugh if you turned your favorite pants into freshly baked pants. For those riders who suffer from exhaust burn should choose pants that have flame-retardant reinforcement on the inside of the calf muscles.

  • Reflector
  • The best season to go for night touring is summer, but riding in the middle of the night is full of danger. If the standby lights of the taillights are only available, it is difficult for the following vehicle to get a sense of distance. Choose the pants that have a reflector in place before feeling near, and increase visibility to the rear vehicle.

  • Pocket zipper
  • Do many riders want to carry only the minimum necessary luggage when riding a motorcycle? In such a case, it is convenient if the type of pocket can be opened and closed by a fastener. Moreover, for those who are not minimalist, it is a nice feature to have such as a coin purse when passing through a high-speed toll gate.

  • Shirring
  • 000_001_355_function5_ja.jpg
    Shirring process that is often used in riding apparel to secure the range of motion of the joint. In the pants, shirring is applied around the knees and waist, so even if you put your foot on the footpegs, it will be comfortable and it will be easy to take a forward-leaning posture. Especially, it is a function to come in handy in leather pants with little elasticity.

What is mesh pants?

As the name suggests, mesh pants are pants that use mesh material of mesh structure for the fabric. (Please be assured that it is not as transparent as "visible")

Some use mesh overall, others are various, such as those adopt partial mesh, but they are all classified as mesh pants. Since it is a material with excellent breathability, even sweaty riders will be able to do cool and comfortable touring if they get out on the runway together with quick drying.

Denim pants and jeans

What are denim pants and jeans?

Although it is a summer season with many events, denim with a casual look will make it easier to act even after getting off from the motorcycle. While it looks like this, I will be wondering what to do because there are some pants that are attached with a protector and some that have been reinforced with flame retardants. It is attractive to match the wide season of spring and autumn, and certainly also in summer, but if you want to limit the use in summer, there are also textile jeans that combine mesh and denim fabric.

Advantages ・Casual look that can be wear even after you get off from the motorcycle!

・Easy to match the outfit like jackets and shoes.

Disadvantages ・Function as riding pants is likely to be limited.

・I also want riding pants apart from the riding denim.

Three-season pants.

Three-season pants.

Pants that correspond to three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn are called three-season pants. Many pants have ventilation that can be opened and closed such as with fasteners, and some have water repellent functions, making it attractive to be able to cope with a wide range of seasons. If you don't ride a motorcycle during the winter season, you should choose the three-season pants.

Advantages ・Recommended for those riders who ride only in the spring, summer, and autumn season!

・Since there are many casual designs, it is easy for beginners.

・There is a set with the water repellent function in the inside.

Disadvantages ・It is necessary to be careful of heatstroke when using it on a hot summer day.

Nylon pants

What is nylon pants?

As its name suggests, nylon pants are made of highly durable nylon, so they won't break even if they are handled a little rough. Moreover, nylon is reliable even on a rainy day because it is a flame-retardant material. However, the line-up has a lot of looks like motorcycle apparel, and there are also models that do not have a ventilation function, so those riders who are looking for casualness and who are thinking of using it on a summer day they should be careful.

Advantage ・Durable materials last longer.

・Reliable in case of fire-retardant material.

Disadvantage ・The motorcycle color is strong, so it floats when you leave it from your beloved motorcycle.

・Let's not riding out on a hot day.

Winter pants

What is winter pants?

Winter pants, a pants with a cold-weather resistant that can withstand the cold during the winter season. Please refrain from using summer pants because the heat measures are not considered at all. It may still be usable when camping in the highlands of Hokkaido, but winter pants are bulky, so it is not necessary to bring winter pants at all, winter clothes are enough. Let's have a good night until winter in the closet.

Advantage ・None
Disadvantage ・There are only disadvantages!

With or without protector

だだだだだiru4.jpg
The pants for the motorcycle are equipped with a protector in preparation for accidents and falls, or are often attached. The main protectors are those that protect the knee part, and there are various protection ranges such as the pad that follows the side and the pad of the buttocks that also plays an active part as riding support. In particular, knee injuries are slow to heal or are difficult "afterward", so consider equipping a hard protector.

In particular, the summer season is a season that is easy to come across with the Sunday riders in leisure and the homecoming of the Bon festival. Let's have a safety consciousness and try to take a safety ride.

A waterproof and water-repellent function is even better!

It was sunny until a little while ago, but a few ten minutes later there was a local torrential rain, and it was a rare summer touring.

Especially, even if the weather forecast is anxious because the development speed of the rain cloud is early, it is likely to be poured. If you're a French bulldog or pug, you will enjoy the rain, but reading this article means you're human (maybe...).

If you get wet, your body temperature will drop and you will catch a cold, so it's a good idea to choose summer apparel that has waterproof and water repellent features.
