Hood Jeans believe their motorcycle jeans
have for many years been the best on the market,
this is mainly due to them being lined with large
amounts of woven Para-Aramid

Hood Jeans believe

In the burgeoning armoured jeans market, there are many types of Para-aramid. Hood and their colleagues from the defence industry have spent many years developing their military grade woven para-aramid, which weight for weight is five times stronger than steel.

Only available to Hood, this fabric gives excellent protection against abrasion, puncture and tearing. Some brands merely cover ‘so-called’ crash points, where as Hood Jeans boasts large amounts of Para-aramid throughout their products.

This means if the jeans move during an accident, there is still para-aramid where it is most needed.

Drag Test

We tested a pair of K7 Jeans by dragging them for ¼ of a mile at 50 mph. To create extra friction we made the jeans very heavy by filling them with off-cuts of Para-Aramid.

As the photographs show, the denim has damage through abrasion and tearing as well as being scorched by the excess heat that was generated.

The yellow woven Para-Aramid lining remained totally intact. This test backs the excellent reports we have had from customers who have had ‘spills’ proving the woven Para-Aramid performs very well if the worst should happen.
