Does it take a lot of energy to wear it? (In many ways, yes.)
Was the one you received as per Image?
I thought the color would be a bit darker, but it was a normal Blue. The characteristic diagonal cut from the waist to the knee stands out more than expected.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I wear 29 or 30 in Lee Vise and GAPDenim, but I chose 32 after wondering about 30 based on the actual measurement data, and it was a little loose. I was a little bit loose. The thighs and under the knees are also loose, so considering the fact that it is a stretch denim, I might have been happy with 30. When I tried on a model called "Cafe racer" before, I had no problem with 30 (but I didn't wear the waist protector), but I heard that each model has a different size feel.
How was your experience with it?
The inverted U-shaped turnaround in the buttocks area was a bit rough at the beginning of the ride, but I got used to it.
The Protector on the knee is too low in the de-fault position, but the Velcro can be used to adjust the position, so there is no problem.
The front of the button fly is a little difficult to fasten due to the seam and button position.
The CE-certified Protector comes standard not only on the knees but also on the hips for added peace of mind.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
While it is secure, the 12.5ozDenim and ImpactZone are triple-layered with Twaron's Seat and lining, making it quite stiff. There are also a lot of seams, so it feels heavy to wear. They're wearing Large layer stuff." Denim is not so easygoing.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
A CE-certified Protector with Velcro positioning on the knee comes standard. The fastener on the outside makes it easy to attach. A CE-certified protector can be placed in the pocket on the waist, and the protector is also included. The waist and knees are reinforced with Twaron, an Aramid-based material, to prevent easy tearing.
How did it compare to other products?
I have never seen a RidingDenim with such a high protection performance and design, so I compared it with other PMJ models. I was torn between the Deus model and the Dallas model, but I thought the Deus design was too simple and lacking in white, so I went with the Dallas model. I would recommend Deus if you consider the comfort of the garment.

When in doubt, choose the Large size.
These are denim pants from PMJ, a motorcycle denim brand that has been getting hot lately.
Denim has a strong image as a fabric, but when it comes to motorcycle use, you can't say that.
I've had falls with non-motorcycle Denim and Cargo Pants, both of which had flamboyant holes and abrasions.
It is a very painful experience.
In this regard, this is a special fabric woven with a special fiber called Twaron, which is only for motorcycles.
I haven't tried it myself, but it is CE StandardAAA certified, which means it passes the highest rank standard for general riding use.
Some PMJs have three layers of lining/toilet/denim, but this one has one layer of fabric with the toilet woven into the denim.
It is not partially reinforced with Twaron, but the entire surface is reinforced, which gives a sense of security and is similar to the general Denim feel.
(There is a mesh lining on the front side for Protector.)
It also has Protectors on the knees/hips.
The advantage is the silhouette of ItalyDenim.
It also proudly bears the Made in ItalyTag.
If you remove the Protector, the silhouette can be used as a denim for everyday wear, and even with the Protector on, it doesn't make much of a statement.
(Not that I don't understand it at all.)
The most important thing to consider when purchasing is the size of the product.
Waist is set to be quite Tight.
I wear Levis 501s in 32-inches with some room to spare, but when I wore this product on top of a thick inner, it was just the right size, maybe a little smaller in 34-inches. It was just the right size.

In addition, at the time of posting this review, there is no webike handling, but JMODEL is a size for ~172cm. (In short, it's a short spec.). is now in the lineup.
I am 172cm tall with slightly short legs, and the length of this JMODEL was JUST right.
It is also possible to roll-up or hem the garment even if it is too long, but it is necessary to allow for the fact that the position of the knee protector will not match and the original silhouette of the tapered hem will be lost.
In addition, the reverse side is yellow because of the woven Twaron, so the folded part becomes yellow when rolled up.
Anyway, it's a very cool Motorcycle Denim.
I think it would be wonderful if more products like this were made available and the choices expanded.
