Top 10 summer motorcycle pants 2024

- Recently, we did a review of what we considered to be 10 of the best summer, motorcycle jackets. Our definition of a summer riding jacket being anything without a waterproof membrane. This being a necessity, obviously, to prevent overheating in warmer climes, or when you're working hard off road.
And so we thought it appropriate to follow up that review with one about riding trousers that are similarly suited to hot-weather riding.
Motorcycle trousers without a membrane are so much easier and more comfortable to wear than waterproof trousers. There is, of course, one problem with this form of attire on the bike. Basically, if it rains you are going to get wet.
The solution, of course, is to carry with you something like a pair of Scott waterproof, over-trousers. Now for some people this is an unimaginable inconvenience; a step too far. And indeed if you commute all year round, and like to tour in Wales, Scotland or Ireland then equipping yourself in this way may just not be for you.
But for most casual, weekend riders, rain is an unfortunate inconvenience, not a regular occurrence. Most weekend riders will look out of the window on a Sunday morning. If it's raining, they will go back to bed. What also has to be remembered is that, contrary to our unreliable memories, it does not rain all the time. On average in the summer in the UK, there will be some rain on just one day out of three.
The bottom line is that it just doesn't rain every day, and the reality for most of us is that if we find ourselves riding in the rain we have simply been caught out. And so we simply don't see the logic in always going out on a summer’s day prepared for an impending hurricane when, most of the time, we won't see a drop of rain.

How does the Rokka Chino fit? Is it a straight or slim cut, a mid or low rise? Does the waist fit tight or more generously? Thank you!
Awesome video! Very comprehensive and well presented. I have a pair of Klim Switchback pants and I always wear them. I do take waterproofs just in case. They are comfortable and look smart. I have had them for three years. BTW this video did not come up on my subscription page but on my home page. I am a subscriber . Maybe a CZcams thing? Best!
I bought a pair of Rokker Chinos (navy blue) from Motolegends 2.5 years ago... These became my go to option any weather! When it rains I use Scotts over these, but when its dry I use these all year round. These trousers been with me in Alps, Pyrenees and Sardinia. Yes these are not super cool in the hottest weather - but still survivable! Only slight disappointment is that the colour deteriorated a lot due to exposure to Sun. Other than that- highly recommended 👌🏻
Kevlar y-fronts come to mind!
I tell you. A pair of Rokker Legend jeans ( love the super quality BTW) I got from you guys are Hot as Hell in the summer here in the states. It is about 80-90F and I'm a sweaty mess after a ride. I gotta find something else.
Drat. I was about to order a pair but living in California my rides start out in the morning at 55f/13c and can go to 95f/35c (occasionally 105f/40c) on a summer day.
Got any advice or thoughts? I’d love a trouser with a AA+ rating that can be fitted with L2 armor that is comfortable to 90f.
Have you tried a pair of merino underneath? They regulate your heat. Just a suggestion
@@danthechippie4439 love them
I have Klim Switchback. Hot in Arizona weather. Marrakesh pants flow more air.
You mean trousers. It’s quite simple, you’re British, running a British clothes shop. We call trousers trousers and pants pants regardless of Americans calling trousers pants. We wear pants under our trousers.
Oh relax. It’s worldwide market. Don’t get your panties in a knot. 😉
Superman wears his pants on the outside! 😉
@@robinfoster847 😄 Indeed - but the host (prat in the cap) is rather more Clark Kent than Superman - and that's being generous...
@@maxgusatz5644 Easy does it, the guy's doing a good job - you don't have to watch him, it's not compulsory...
@@robinfoster847 😂👍
I am searching the market for maximum pants/trousers versatility (with possible layering of course), so to be honest I am really confused about the really hot weather situations (above 35 degrees Celsius) as the best ventilated option here is Klim Marrakesh and technically it needs to be even less vented than the Baja S4. I do use the Held Carese/Tuono combination for most of the year but yet it works up to 28-30 degrees and even when I switch to fully meshed pants there is not enough air above 35. Anybody with an idea what would be doing the job?
P.S. I ride V strom 650 and it looks that the air protection in the lower part of the body is quite substantial.
Any thoughts about the John Doe single layer jeans. Nice material, triple A rating, loads of different smart fits and good pricing compared to the top of notch Roker.
Interesting. I have been looking at these jeans, but given the ingredients there is no way that these jeans should be AAA rated. It wasn’t many years ago that John Doe was sewing in face CE labels into their jeans, having done no testing at all. So, i really don’t trust the company. I am going to have the fabric of these jeans tested on a Cambridge and a Darmstadt machine in the near future. I may well do a video on the results, so we will see if my suspicions are right. Watch this space! CP
@@Motolegends thank you very much. That’s interesting to hear. You are doing a magnificent job for the community.
@@MotolegendsI’d love a video of John Doe jeans tested on both the Cambridge and Darmstadt machines. It could be a fascinating video.
You were doing well calling trousers trousers until you got to the Marakesh 😞
Get over yourself.
“Pants”,, Is this for the American market? I clicked thinking you actually had a range of skivvies!
Clearly you think you are in some way upholding the English language, but language is fluid. We talk about jogging pants, cargo pants and skiiing pants, whilst equestrians talk about riding pants, so what’s the big deal with motorcycle pants? Carry on like this, and people will take you for a retired public school teacher. There are no absolute rights or wrongs here; there are just views. You need to relax, and find something more worthy of your attention, because frankly pants vs trousers is a pretty tired debate, and one that, as time goes by, you are destined to lose! Skivvies, by the way, is an American term, so you need, at least, to be consistent! CP
@@Motolegends oh, I know what skivvies are, that was my point but it clearly bypassed your humour cell. You seem overly defensive about your use of “pants”, and it seems to have touched a nerve for some reason. I suggest you read my comment again and keep it in perspective. I’m a customer of Motolegends and my wife and I spend a lot in your store. Now, that doesn’t give me any special privileges of course, but I wasn’t abusive or derogatory, so maybe it’s you that needs to relax and wind it in a bit. Anyway, what’s wrong with being a retired public school teacher?
Wow. I don't like trousers being called pants, but Moto Legends, you need to chill. Chap in a cap with tweedy waistcoat and using the term "chap" is playing on Englishness, so be consistent. Btw no British equestrian would say riding pants. Jodhpurs (I believe to be a Hindi word) or more old school, breeches (also used in US britches) is what equestrians call riding trousers. Language evolves but the usual British English word is trousers and "pants" jarred with me, but nowhere near as much as the humourless and defensive response did.
Yeah everything seems to be "Americanised" for some reason?
Jeans are not always acceptable when you get to work so trousers that look smart casual are great for the office
My Klim Marrakesh easily go over my Daytona Road Star GTX boots, but no way will they go over my Alpinestars SMX 6 V2 GTX boots.
Bloody pants speak English man
He is speaking English your boorish fool
