This is the "skinny" leg version of the much acclaimed Resurgence Gear Cafe Racer Selvedge denim motorcycle jean. It differs in that it has a slimmer leg cut similar to a Levi's 511, where as the regular Resurgence Gear Café Racer Selvedge jean is similar to a Levi's 501.
The Resurgence Gear Cafe Racer Selvedge protective jean is a homage to the past, the Selvedge denim is woven in the old fashioned way on a shuttle loom so it won’t fray, ravel or curl, and is identified by the synonymous red stripes to its edge.
The Skinny Café Racer is a skinny slim cut jean and is typically worn with its cuffs turned up, why have red stripes and not show them! It is 60% lined with PEKEV, and like all Resurgence Gear jeans comes with adjustable knee, and hip armour from D3O. Offering the highest levels of protection in a high fashion format.
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:
Fast delivery, very good quality jeans at a great price. Fits really good as well.
I've not used these in anger yet but all in all a nice looking and fitting pair of jeans at a good price. I already have the Resurgence Voyager Jeans and combats (both 100% Pekev lined) but fancied something a bit lighter but with good protection just for local riding and I saw these for a good price and took the plunge. I have to say they look suitably stylish both on and off the bike and the D3O armour is comfortable and relatively unobtrusive. I originally ordered the non-skinny jeans as I'm not really a skinny jeans sort of bloke, but when they arrived, despite having a label affixed saying skinny they were enormously baggy - Think Happy Mondays circa 1989 (and I suspect they were actually the standard fit jeans wrongly labelled by the factory). After a quick phone call to Salt Flat's customer service department (who were excellent) a new pair of skinny jeans in the next size down arrived the following day. Perfect fit this time and the wrong ones were returned free of charge. Great service once again from Salt Flats.
Good looking jeans fit true to size. Not to tight just wide enough to go over pair of boots.
Good fit. Not as skinny as I was hoping but it is a good thing as I will wear thermals underneath in the winter. Very well made. No review on the safety of them as yes. Hopefully never will. Very highly recommend.
Very Happy with these Jeans. They fit well and are very comfortable. Just a little pricy.
