Real world feedback After ten years of success with Hood Jeans, it’s still comments like below that mean the most to us...
“Pic - Above left. 90mph slide until stationery (no impact), couple of rolls near the end.
The outer fabric makes it look bad but the worst you can say about the para-aramid fibres is it looks slightly fluffy and a bit grubby - it would be good to do exactly the same again. Highly recommended. ”
“ I just want to say thanks for producing some great motorcycle jeans.
I put mine to the test a few weeks ago and I am very happy to tell you that they gave excellent protection when I hit the road. The jeans came away without a scratch and protected me extremely well from a short slide under my Rocket 3. I had a lot of bruising on my leg, hip and ribs but no abrasions.
I fractured some ribs and destroyed my collar bone but my trusted Hood jeans did a great job. ”
“Pic - Above right. I came off the bike at around 70mph, losing consciousness in the process. I escaped any sort of major injury despite the K7 jeans and the armour being badly damaged in the process. I’m very glad I had these as I’d only bought them a few weeks prior to the accident.
The A&E department at the hospital were quite amazed that I’d not damaged my hips or got anything more than bruising to my knees. ”
“ I’ve been meaning to write for ages, I’m really pleased with my H2 Jeans. The quality and fit are really good; it’s nice to buy a product that’s made in the UK. ”
“ Your K7 jeans were spectacular. I lowsided the bike at about 40 miles per hour and slid about 75 feet down the road. I must have hit my right knee because the cotton portion of the jean was worn through to the armour, although the armour itself was totally untouched. ”
“ There were also some relatively minor wear spots over my right buttock area where the jeans wore through the cotton to the Kevlar which remained completely intact. I did not have a single abrasion on any part of my body that was covered by the jeans. ”
“ 45+ mph crash wearing Hood K7 jeans. The denim wore through in several places but not the para-aramid. No road rash anywhere. The ER nurse pointed out the fly was worn down to para-aramid as well. The Knox knee armour stayed in place very well. ”
“ The attending Doc commutes on a GS1200 and was very impressed, wanted to know what they were, etc. I’ll be replacing them! ”
