Motorcycle riding jeans have grown in popularity over the years. With a fusion of style, protection, and comfort, it's no wonder more road riders are swapping their leathers for denim. However, summer temperatures and workplace dress codes may call for lighter, more refined trousers. That’s where Dainese’s new Chinos Tex motorcycle pants come into play.

Consisting of single-layer Armalith spun from Lycra and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, the slim-cut chinos are just as protective as they are stylish. Dainese pairs the abrasion-resistant properties with a seamless construction, minimizing the risk of tearing during a slide. Pro Shape 2.0 protectors at the knees and hips increase the Chinos Tex safety features, resulting in a level AA CE rating.

A thigh pocket also provides a modicum of carrying capacity.
