The Resurgence Gear City trouser is a military cut straight-legged chino style trouser, made from crease resistant cotton twill. The City is 60% lined, to the height of the boot, with PEKEV and like all Resurgence gear jeans comes with adjustable knee and hip armour from D3O, and is lined with a comfort mesh to disperse heat and moisture away from the skin, and improve the comfort of the trouser.
Every biker knows that in the event of an accident a person must have:
Pushing the limits of Aramids and Ethylene fibres, we use only the highest quality spinning techniques available. Improving tensile strength and converting them into fabrics using exclusively elite blends we developed a 3rd generation PEKEV® fabric - this is one of the strongest and most stable fabrics in the world!
Made from the world’s toughest polymer based material, it has the highest breaking point for yarn. The tensile strength of the overall fabric is unsurpassed among all contemporary protection layers. It has the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made, it’s highly resistant to corrosive chemicals (with exception of oxidizing acids), has extremely low moisture absorption, a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion - in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. It is highly resistant to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV radiation, and micro-organisms.
Our fabric is internationally field tested and ready for the most demanding motorbike riders of the world. Where other brands fail to perform in safety, durability and comfort we excel - wash after wash and drag after drag!
PEKEV® features:
Unlike aramid fabric which degrades quickly PEKEV® is strong against:
Ionic enzyme washing. In 90% of cases aramid fibres are treated with ionic enzymes when washing denim, so performance is affected right from the point of manufacturing. Aramids are sensitive to acids. PEKEV® is unaffected.
Bleach. Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) treatment completely destroys the strength of aramid fabrics. PEKEV® remains unaffected.
Ultra violet (sunlight to you and me). In strong sunlight, or a high UV environment, aramid fibres degrade and life cycle is reduced. With PEKEV® there is no degredation and the fibres are unaffected.
Moisture. Aramid strength is affected by moisture and washing. PEKEV® is again not affected.
Detergents. Superior chemical resistance means that the performance of PEKEV® is unaffected by these.
Heat dispersion. Most aramid fabrics retain heat and do not breathe PEKEV® disperses body heat and is breathable, so keeps you cool comfortable and able to focus even on long runs on sunny days.
The D3O® T5 EVO X utilises the latest material innovation from D3O which offers increased durability.
The parts continue to offer great impact protection whilst remaining low profile and lightweight. The range includes knee, hip, shoulder and elbow pads which are CE certified to level 1 across ambient, wet and cold conditions.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
I grabbed a pair of these straight cut chinos as Resurgence only seem to offer the slim cut now. Both are a great fit (I already owned a pair of the slim cut), and simply wanted variety before it was gone. Happy I picked these up, and would happily buy from Salt Flats again!
The quality and fit are spot on. I did order the khaki colour but received green! However, I'm not complaining as I think they are more than ideal, so happily keeping them.
The Resurgence City Chino was a bit of a gamble buy as I often stick with vintage American or Japanese brands and think about protection underneath but these really stand up and with the added bonus of a high level of protection, which is hardly noticeable. I also got the Cafe Racer Selvedge jean which is equally a top quality product considering you normally pay this for a standard pair of selvedge!
First time purchasing for Salt Flats had to ask about the fit of these trousers and got a very quick reply out of office hours ( top marks for that). So ordered them up online and arrived the next day. The fabric is smooth and not like cardboard which what I was worried about. Might be wearing these more of the bike than on.
Ordered a pair of Resurgence pants from Melbourne, AUS and they arrived in less than a week. Totally hassle-free, would order from you guys again. Thanks!
