Motorcycle Jeans Sizing Guide

At Roadskin®, we believe in keeping it real. When we say a pair of our jeans has a 36-inch waist, it measures 36 inches around the waist, no sneaky surprises. If the inseam says 30 inches, you can bet it’s 30 inches long. Actual numbers. Actual measurements.

Finding Your Size - The Right Way to Do It

The best way to determine your correct Roadskin® Motorcycle Jean size is to grab and measure a pair of jeans you love. Yes, it takes a moment, but it’ll save you a lot of hassle later.

After trying on many different makes if jeans, I decided to try the new roadskin Spencer jeans, having previously owned the easy rider jeans. The Spencer jeans are absolutely brilliant.

It was so well packed. And all sizes where correct and true. Plenty of stretch in the waist allowing them to be very comfortable while sitting on the bike but still holds the shape when standing up. The go over my normal motorcycle boots no problem. So overall very pleased with these spencer jeans

Gloves were a perfect fit and the style was class, sadly I had to return them, with my order of the jeans which were sent back for a shorter leg size. Just waiting for return confirmation to order another pair. Excellent looking quality 👍

Second pair of jeans I've purchased from Roadskin. Both experiences have been excellent and the quality of both is excellent. Following the sizing guide on the website and the fit of them is perfect for me. The communication from them has also been prompt and with a sense of care.

These jeans are very comfortable and less heavy than my Hood equivalents but also cooler due to single layer non -lined. I would say the waist sizing is generous and I could have managed in a 34 / 32 but then likely to be possibly less leg room, so overall I think the sizing is OK.

As i have said before, these jeans are very comfortable and generously proportioned. The denim feels as smooth as a normal pair of jeans and they look very handsome. The customer service has been extra helpful and rapid whenever we have communicated. I would recommend both the jeans and the company.

Well what a great fit, being a awkward sod I find when I size up for clothing online it’s never quite the right fit BUT these jeans fit great and to be honest with them being stretchy too I could of gone the next size down (but then they might of been too tight with not much give in them). First time buying from Roadskin and I’m extremely pleased.

Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

Excellent !!! Being a shorter rider I've always had a problem getting gear that fits properly. Couldn't be happier with the Roadskin Jeans I've got. They fit perfectly and the armour sits nicely in the right areas. Customer service is also top notch, and very easy to deal with. These jeans give me a strong feeling of confidence and protection. Thank you

I ordered online having seen the jeans at the ABR Festival and took their advice on the best option. The 40” waist is a little loose but suits sitting. They are very comfortable to wear. My only wish would be to have more secure pockets as anything in them risks falling out when riding. A hidden zip or even Velcro would make them more secure. Also the free gloves were not available in my size so I’m still waiting on them, although I’m not in any rush.

Fabulously comfy jeans which looks like a normal jean as much as possible. Feel cool in the warmer weather too. I’m a 31” inside leg and went for the 32”. Slightly too long when walking but fine on the bike though. I can always turn them up I guess. Very tricky to get the perfect fit but these are close enough. The staff were super helpful on the phone too. Think I’m gonna be a Roadskins wearer for life now.

There no as heavy as hood and actually are alot more comfortable and cooler as well. Fit wise very good.come up tighter than hoods and armour sits nice you don't realise its there.but fiddly fitting knee protection but once in feel secure. On the whole pleased with my purchase.

I was lucky enough to win a pair of Spenser jeans in a Bennett’s Insurance competition and couldn’t have asked for a better service from Roadskin. The jeans were out of stock for a number of weeks at the time but Roadskin kept me fully up to date with progress on their journey to my front door and once they had them they were dispatched the following day. They arrived well packaged and in perfect condition, true to size and comfortable due to the slight elasticity in the material and leg length was nice and long to allow a turn up. Armour is top quality and unobtrusive. All in all a top quality piece of kit

These Roadskin Spencer Jeans are excellent. Perfect fit and the armour fits comfortably and sits where its of some use, unlike other armoured jeans I have bought. They go over my touring boots just right. No loose threads either they are very well made and look quality. Totally happy with them

Great summer riding jeans, with top protection. In this hot weather they are cool and comfortable. OK for walking about in too. Just bought my son a pair for his birthday. What higher recommendation could you get.

Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

Ordered the Taranis Elite, fine jeans but not fitted enough for me. Ordered the Spencer which are much more fitted and are of superb quality, with an excellent straight leg fit! The waist and gusset/rise are perfect and what I would describe as "English" cut, so slightly higher waisted than normal, which makes an extremely comfortable jean for riding. Armour is excellent and fits well in the pockets. I like the adjustment so that you can place the pads exactly where they should be to protect your knees and hips. I would not hesitate to recommend the Roadskin Spencer Jeans, and am considering another pair in Black. I am 5' 8", weigh 15 stone with a 38" waist and a 29 1/2" inside leg. I bought the 38" waist and 30" inside leg....perfect fit!

Customer photo review of Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

Love these jeans, crappy picture, but wore them in 34 degree heat at ABR Festival, rode down from Scotland to Warwickshire 18 degrees up to 34/35 degrees. Received many compliments and my only regret was that they didn’t have 34/32 of these in stock as the 36/32’s are a little big, even with a belt!

Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

Very comfortable for riding pants with this level of safety rating. They feel just about like a regular pair of jeans. The knee and hip armor fit well! Shipping was quick to the US, will most definitely be getting another pair or other products from Roadskin!

Customer photo review of Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

My first ride in these jeans was on a cool windy morning and my first reaction was it's a bit chilly and maybe this weather is better suited to my lined jeans. Now that we have the heat wave these jeans are fantastic. My legs are fine, no sweating whatever the temperature and the quality of the fitting and finishing is superb. The one issue I had was resolved by applying a little more care in how the knee armour was fitted - the velcro can catch the hairs on your leg if it's not properly aligned. Would I recommend these jeans, without hesitation.

Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

Normally a short between a 32 and 34 waist. Received a 34 waist however felt quite large. Decided to go for a 32 as there is a bit of stretch in them and normaly wear tight ish jeans anyway. Also keeps armour in place which is quite a good quality. Fabric is slightly darker than in official pics but still a nice normal jean look.

Roadskin™ 'Spencer' CE AAA Rated Motorcycle Jeans

I saw these on Facebook and purchased a pair I’m glad I did very well made comfortable and a perfect fit will definitely buy again plus I got a free pair of gloves in the bargain 😀👍

  • Class AAA Motorways and Higher speeds
  • AA Touring
  • ​​​​​​​A City or Urban use 30mph and below.
  • B No armour so not advised

All of our protective motorcycle gear is tested in the UK by SATRA or INTERTEK Italia S,p.a and you can find our declarations of conformity here.    

Caring for your motorcycle jeans

Keeping your motorcycle jeans in peak condition is important not just for how they look but for your safety – you might say, there’s a lot riding on it!

Once you’ve settled on a favourite pair, and worn them in, and they’ve become a faithful friend in pretty much every and any riding situation, you’ll want them to last forever.

We have all heard about the denim aficionados are reluctant to wash their jeans, but motorcycle jeans are different. Not washing them means that they will inevitably degrade over time, thanks for grime, grease and sweat. 

We have produced a guide on keeping them clean and in tip top condition - view the full guide.

Motorcycle Jeans Sizing Advice

Numbers That Mislead

Have you ever wondered why you’re a size 38 in one brand, a 36 in another, and then somehow a 39 elsewhere? It’s frustrating, right? Those numbers are supposed to represent accurate measurements but often don’t add up.

Committed to Perfect Sizing

At Roadskin®, we believe in keeping it real. When we say a pair of our jeans has a 36-inch waist, it measures 36 inches around the waist, no sneaky surprises. If the inseam says 30 inches, you can bet it’s 30 inches long. Actual numbers. Actual measurements.

Production Variability

That said, denim can be a tricky beast. Different washes and how our protection layers interact during production can slightly affect sizing. We do everything possible to keep those variances small, but no one's perfect! Even with our commitment to accuracy, mistakes happen. We're only human. Mislabelling or production hiccups can sneak in occasionally. Thankfully it's rare, but if that happens, shout. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure you have the correct size and fit.

Finding Your Size - The Right Way to Do It

The best way to determine your correct Roadskin® Motorcycle Jean size is to grab and measure a pair of jeans you love. Yes, it takes a moment, but it’ll save you a lot of hassle later.

Waist Measurements 

Lay your jeans flat and pull the waistband out tight (but not stretched beyond its natural limit if there’s any give). Measure from one side of the inside waistband to the other, then double that number. Boom, that’s your waist size. If you find you are between sizes on the waist (i.e 35",37" etc), our advice would be to go DOWN a size.  Our jeans have 5% Lycra® in them, so have a nice amount of stretch to accommodate that extra inch!

Inseam Measurements 

Lay one leg flat and straight. Measure from the cuff edge up the inseam to where it meets the crotch seam. Remember to follow the seam curve to get the most accurate measurement.

Take the time to measure once, and ride in comfort forever. Got questions? Reach out, we’re here to help.
